Preparing Your Lighting Fixture 

If you are planning to use a 14º-50º or a 10º Source Four, you will need to remove the 
shutters from the lighting fixture. This is not necessary, but may be desirable for a 5º Source 
Four to prevent the shutter blades from accidentally being moved during operation.  Remove 
the shutters by removing the four machine screws which hold the two halves of the Source 
Four barrel together and exposing the shutter, pressure plate, and shutter spring parts.  
Remove the shutter blades, but reinstall the pressure plates and springs.  Only reinstall the 
two machine screws on the neck of the barrel. Then go on the next step: 
 
Two Angle Brackets allow your Source Four to be installed in the Follow Spot Yoke Source 
Four LED. Replace the two ETC Torx machine screws with the enclosed M4x12 pan head 
Phillips machine screws. Then use the original hex bolt and washer to fasten the angle 
bracket. 
 
Next, install the two Tee Slot Extrusions using the enclosed #8-

32 x 3/8” flat head Phillips 

machine screws (three screws per extrusion) as shown in the illustration below. 
 
 

 

 

 
 

 
 

 

 

 
Note: 

If you experience difficultly installing M4x12 screws, it may be due to incompletely 

threaded holes on the Source Four barrel. Threads can be formed completely with the 
following steps: 

1.  Remove the bottom half of the barrel, locate the threaded holes in the barrel.  
2.  Using the original Torx thread-forming screw to finish the thread on the bottom half of 

the barrel.
