Strong Lighting SUPER TROUPER III, Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION  AND  SETTING  UP  SPOTLIGHT

THE

SUPER

TROUPER

is

shipped

in

sections

which

must

be

assembled.

Lifting

straps

mounted

to

the

yoke

pivot

studs

(see

Figure

6,

Item

are

designed

to

bear

the

weight

of

the

spotlight

and

base.

This permits assembling the spotlight on the floor and later hoisting it to an overhead spotlight position.

THE

FOLDING

BASE

ASSEMBLY

is

shipped

collapsed,

and

requires

only

folding

the

base

legs

down

and

pinning

the

legs

using

the

four

T-bolts

(Figure

supplied.

Screw

the

four

leveling

feet

and

locknuts

(Figure

into

the

brackets

at

the

end

of

each

leg.

WHEN

INSTALLED

in

a

permanent

location,

the

leveling

feet

and

casters

must

be

removed,

and

the

holes

in

the

base

leg

brackets

used

for

hardware

(user-supplied

lag

screws

or

bolts)

to

secure

the

base

to the floor or platform.  If it is desired to have the unit portable, when operating, the four leveling feet 

must

be

adjusted

down

until

the

entire

weight

of

the

spotlight

has

been

shifted

from

the

casters

to

the

leveling

feet.

THE

INNER

is

drilled

with

three

holes

to

permit

adjusting

the

height

of

the

spotlight.

The

three

holes

are

on

four-inch

centers

and

will

allow

an

optical

height

of

ap-

proximately 53 inches, 57 inches, and 61 inches above floor level to the optical center of the lamphouse and 

lens

and

one

of

the
