Rigging 

 

Please follow the European and national guidelines concerning rigging, trussing and all other 
safety issues. 

 

Do not attempt the installation yourself ! 
Always let the installation be carried out by an authorized dealer !

 

 

Procedure: 

 

If the Media Spinner is lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be 
used. 

 

Use a clamp to mount the Media Spinner, with the mounting-bracket, to the trussing system. 

 

The Media Spinner must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.  

 

The installation must always be secured with a safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate safety net or 
safety-cable. 

 

When rigging, derigging or servicing the Media Spinner, always make sure, that the area below the 
installation place is blocked and staying in the area is forbidden.

 

 

Flat surface   

 

 

 

Upside Down  

 

 

Against a wall 

 
This fixture must always be mounted horizontally. The base may be set on a flat surface or hanged 
upside down. However, the base must always be parallel to the floor. 

 
 
Improper installation can cause serious damage to people and property !
