bear at least 10 times the fixture's weight. Bolt the clamp securely to
the fixture's mounting bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and
lock nut through the 13 mm hole in the center of the mounting bracket,
or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer.
3. If fastening the fixture directly to a mounting surface, ensure that any
fasteners used and the mounting surface can bear at least 10 times the
fixture's weight. The fixture may be fastened using any of the following:
• four 6.5mm holes in the sides of the U-bracket
• two 8mm holes in the top of the U- bracket
• one 13mm hole in the top of the U-bracket.
4. Ensure that the structure used to support the fixture can support at
least 10 times the total weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,
auxiliary equipment, etc.
5. Install a safety wire that can
hold at least 10 times the
weight of the fixture
through/over the support
and through a safety wire
attachment point next to one

safety wire to the
mounting bracket, as this
will leave the fixture
unsecured.
6. Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fixture to the desired angle. Turn
the swivel locks clockwise to tighten. Check that both swivel locks are
tight and that the fixture is securely clamped in position.
