The Orbitron ships with a built-in rigging point and two large holes in 
the base of the unit that are to be used for safety cables. The rigging 
point is located on the bottom of the unit. This rigging point is secured 
to the fi xture by two large Phillips screws. When the rigging point is 
not to be used and when the fi xture is shipped from the manufacture, 
the point is shipped inverted.  When the fi xture is to be hung by truss 
or  other  means,  please  use  the  rigging  point  and  secure  the  fi xture 
with safety cables. Always be sure to fi rmly secure the rigging point to 
the unit. The Orbitron™ can be mounted to a wall or may hung from 
truss.
