5. AURORA X1 ASSEMBLY

Upon completion of the checklist from page 7, it is time to assemble the Aurora X1 LED Followspot! 

FOR MEDIUM THROW AND LONG THROW CONFIGURATIONS

5.1  Medium And Long Throw Configuration: Tripod 

Step 1: Tripod

Place the tripod in the location the followspot is to be positioned.

If the tripod was provided with caster wheels, ensure the rubber feet are extended all the way to the floor so the fixture cannot move during 
set up. This is done by adjusting the orange thumb wheel in a clockwise rotation until the pad touches the floor.
