Strong TROUPERETTE IV Instruction Manual page 3

FASTEN THE THREE STAND LEGS (Figure 1) to the lower end of the outer tube
using the (6) cap screws, lockwashers, and hexnuts furnished in the accessory box. Insert the casters
into the holes provided in each leg only if the spotlight is to be portable. If the spotlight is to remain in
a fixed location, do not insert the casters, but use the holes in the stand legs for hardware (not supplied)
to bolt the stand to the floor.
TIGHTEN THE CLAMPING STUD to secure the height adjust collar. Mount the spot-
light head to the lamp yoke by lowering the lamp saddle into the slots provided. Make certain the
leather friction washer disc is between the flat metal friction surfaces of the saddle and yoke. Clamp
the spotlight head in a horizontal position by tightening the cast vertical tilt locking knob onto the
saddle clamp screw.
TO SET THE DESIRED THE HEIGHT OF THE SPOTLIGHT, loosen the clamping
stud of the height adjustment clamp and raise or lower as desired. The height range from floor to
optical center is 43 inches (1.1 m) to 60 (1.5 m) inches.
THE TROUPERETTE IV requires a 1000 watt, 120 volt Type FEL projection bulb for
domestic (USA) operation. An export model (45004-02) is available, and uses a 1000 watt, 240 volt
Type FEP bulb. The rated life of either bulb is 250 hours, and it is advisable to have a spare bulb
available (FEL - Part No. 45246; FEP - Part No. 45272).
TO INSTALL THE BULB, dismount the rear Name & Data Plate by removing the (3)
socket head cap screws. See the Detail drawing on Figure 4. Loosen the two thumb screws (Item 11)
enough to slide the support bracket and bulb socket (Items 13 & 14) through the rear opening and out of
the lamphouse. Do not alter the position of the stop plate (Item 5). Grasp the bulb by its metal base and
push it firmly into the center of the socket (Item 14). CAUTION: Avoid touching the bulb envelope;
skin oils in fingerprints will etch the envelope and possibly shorten the expected bulb life. Remove any
accidental fingermarks immediately using alcohol and a clean, soft cloth.
SLIDE THE ASSEMBLED BRACKET and bulb back onto the support (Figure 4, Item
12) up to and resting against the stop plate (Item 5). Tighten the two thumb screws (Item 11) to secure
the bulb and bracket in position, and replace the rear cover plate.
CONNECT THE LEAD CORD PLUG to an AC receptacle of the correct voltage (see
Equipment Data Plate; 45004-01 = 120 V.AC, 45004-02 = 240 V.AC). Turn the lamp ON by means of
the power switch and inspect the projected spot. If the spot is not satisfactory, see the instructions
following regarding Reflector & Bulb Adjustments.
WHEN MOVING THE SPOTLIGHT from one location to another, it is highly advis-
able to remove the bulb and pack it separately. The bulb filament is very fragile and susceptible to
breakage from jars and shocks, particularly after prolonged operation.
