THE "575" FOLLOW SPOT is shipped in sections which must be assembled.
ASSEMBLE the four base legs to the square section of the center tube, using the 3/8-16
by 2-3/4 inch hex head cap screws and 3/8 inch split ring lockwashers to secure each leg. Insert a
leveling foot and locknut in each of the four legs.
THE INNER TUBE and support yoke has four holes on four-inch centers and will allow
an optical center height of approximately 46-1/2 inches, 50-1/2 inches, 54-1/2 inches and 58-1/2 inches
above floor level to the optical center of the lamphouse and lens system. The leveling feet may be
adjusted through a two inch range. Insert the height location pin through the hole in the outer tube and
one of the holes in the inner tube so the retaining ball on the pin extends beyond the outer tube.
THE VERTICAL TILT locking lever is on the right hand (operating) side of the yoke
assembly. Tighten this locking device securely before attempting to place the lamphouse and lens
mechanism on the support yoke.
PLACE THE LAMPHOUSE and lens mechanism on the yoke assembly, with the lens
control knob to the right hand (operator's side); the same as the locking lever on the yoke. Line up the
four mounting holes in the bottom of the lamphouse and optical system support pan with four slotted
holes in the support saddle and secure with the four 5/16-18 wing screws. Release the vertical tilt
locking lever, move the lamphouse and optical system forward or back in the slots until the system is
balanced. Then tighten the four wing screws to hold the system in balance.
CONNECT THE CABLE ASSEMBLY from the power supply to the mating receptacle
on the bottom of the lamphouse and tighten firmly. The connector and receptacle are keyed to prevent
misalignment of the pins. Do not connect the power supply to the AC supply at this time.
THE FOUR ANGLE BRACKETS on the base legs are designed as hold-down brackets
for the spotlight. These brackets should be bolted to the floor or platform for safety purposes. The
casters are provided only for ease of movement to the operating location and must be removed from the
base legs to ensure stability during use of the follow spot.
WHEN TRANSPORTING or hoisting the follow spot, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT
the complete system, including the stand, by raising the lamphouse and lens mechanism. The most
simple procedure is to release the tilt locking lever, and the hex head screw and nut on the opposite side,
just enough to permit lifting the lamphouse and support saddle from the yoke on the stand. Then
transport as two separate assemblies.
