Replacing The Gobo Animation Wheel - Martin MAC III Profile User Manual

Replacing the gobo animation wheel

Important! The gobo animation wheel is glass and must be handled gently. Do not attempt to bend it or you will
break it. Breakages caused by mishandling are not covered by the product warranty.
1. Disconnect the fixture
from power and allow it to
cool for 2 hours 45
minutes.
2. Apply the tilt lock in a
convenient position. Open
the top cover as described
under "Replacing a color
filter" on page 40.
3. See Figure 24. Bring the
animation wheel up to the
top of the head by pulling
its sliding car with a finger.
4. The animation wheel is
retained by a magnetic
hub. To avoid breaking the
animation wheel while
removing, release the hub
by gently levering the hub
off its mounting with a
screwdriver. Do not apply
pressure to the animation
wheel itself. See Figure
25. Once the hub is
released, you can safely
grasp the wheel and
remove it.
5. When installing an
animation wheel, slide the
hub in over the drive
mechanism and align it
with its mounting until the
magnetic hub locks into
place on the mounting.
6. If no further service work
is to be carried out,
reinstall the top cover with
its safety wire and release
the tilt lock before
re-applying power.
