Assembling your Followspot 

Warning: Heavy weights are involved in the following operation. Do 
not attempt this operation alone. 
 

Always assemble the Performer Series Followspot in the following order: 
 
Unfold the stand on a clean flat surface, taking care to ensure the base legs are fully 
extended and there is enough room to pan and tilt the followspot in the space provided. Make sure all stand 
lock off knobs are fully tightened.  
 

 
 
Place the Performer Series Yoke Assembly on the followspot stand, taking care to ensure the 
40mm OD top tube is fully placed into the Yoke Receptacle. (If necessary, loosen the allen h
screws slightly before sliding yoke assembly onto stand tube) 

ead 

 

 
 
 

Tighten the two M5 Allen head screws on the Performer Series Yoke Assembly using the  Allen 
Key provided.  

 
 
 
Important Note: Pick the Performer Series Head up using the 
guide rails only. Never lift the Performer Series by holding 
onto the colour changer.  

 

 
 
 
 
 

 
To facilitate flying or motorised lifting, the Performer Series Followspot has two 
rigging points on the top of the luminaire. Qualified personnel only should use this 
method.  
 
Take the Performer Series Followspot unit out of the packing box, and place on a 
flat surface.  
 

 
 

Remove the four M5 Allen head bolts on the triangular yoke pivot  

mounts using the  Allen Key provided.  

 

 
 
 
 
 

Place the unit on the stand with the triangular yoke pivot correctly lined up 
with the receptacle as shown. Lock the Performer Series Head onto the stand 
assembly by fastening the four M5 Allen head bolts on the triangular yoke 
pivots. 
Four spare Allen head bolts are supplied: they are screwed onto yoke base. 

Warning – Failure to fit these screws may result in 
the followspot falling out of the yoke resulting in possible severe injuries 
to personnel and damage to the luminaire.
