Polar 300 Hybrid IP65 Moving Head
Replacing a Gobo From the Rotating Gobo Wheel
When changing a gobo, observe the following:
●
Always disconnect power from the mains! Allow the fixture to cool down before opening the head
cover!
● Use for replacement only gobos that match the specifications below. Using custom gobos that do
not match those specifications may result in damage to the fixture. Any damage to the fixture as a
result of using a custom gobo is NOT covered under warranty.
● Do not touch the glass gobo with bare fingers to avoid leaving fingerprints. Handle the gobo only by
the gobo carrier, or wear protective gloves. If you touch the glass, clean with a soft lint-free cloth
and rubbing alcohol.
