2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Event MH™ is an extremely sophisticated piece of electronic

equipment. To guarantee a smooth operation, it is important to

follow the guidelines in this manual. The manufacturer of this

device will not accept responsibility for damages resulting from

the misuse of this fixture due to the disregard of the information

printed in this manual.

1. Always be sure that the fan and the air inlets remain clean and are never blocked.

Allow about 6” (15cm) between this fixture and other devices or a wall to allow for

proper cooling.

2. Never touch the fixture during normal operation. This can cause severe personal

injuries and/or damage to the fixture.

3. Be sure to unplug the EVENT MH™ from the power outlet before performing any

service related issues.

4. Lamp Replacement; Allow at least 30 minutes after disconnecting main power

before you open the EVENT MH™. To prevent personal injury, never touch the

lamp if you are not absolutely sure it has cooled.

5. Never look directly into the lamp beam. You risk injury to your retina, which may

induce blindness.

6. Be sure to track and record the lamp running time. The lamp should be changed at

the end of the specified lamp life, regardless of lamp output. You may also have to

change the lamp if it shows any deformations or damage. The same is with all

glass components, color filters, lenses and mirrors.

7. For safe operation, follow the Installation guide described in chapter two of this

manual. Operating the EVENT MH™ without suited safety aids such as safety

cables or clamps can increase the risk of damage and/or personal injury.

8. Installation should only be performed by qualified and certified personal.

9. When mounting this fixture, use only the original rigging parts included with this

fixture. Any structural modification will void the original manufactures warranty and

frayed.

12. Never charge the Battery and run the fixture on battery power at the same time.

This will damage the battery pack.
