Page: 6 / 52

SkyTracker/Strong Entertainment Lighting has no control over the manner in which its
products are installed, operated, maintained, or utilized after the product leaves the manu-
facturing facility, it can not be held responsible for any injuries resulting from improper
installation, use, inadequate maintenance, or any other condition beyond its control.
It is the intent of this manual to call to the attention of the owner, operator, and service
technician, any and all hazardous areas or conditions which could lead to operational
problems or injury and to outline proper and recommended procedures to prevent any
such occurrence.
Throughout this manual, the following nomenclature will be utilized to call to the attention of
the reader any potential hazards related to operation or maintenance.
CAUTION
The word CAUTION is utilized (preceding certain sections in this manual) to
call attention to an area of particular importance, where failure to follow the
specified
SkyTracker/Strong Entertainment Lighting procedure may result in
improper operation of the device. And also, may impair the effectiveness or
utility of the device, cause a shortened effective lifetime of components, or in
any way lead to premature or ultimate failure of the device to perform to its
original design standards and expectations.
The normal warranty will be voided in instances where it is determined that any component
of the SkyTracker has been damaged or has failed due to failure to follow procedures or
instructions contained in this manual.
DANGER
This designation is utilized preceding any section within this manual where
the operations described could expose anyone to the possibility of physical
danger or injury of any kind. It is the responsibility of the owner, operator, or
service technician to become familiar with all such
DANGER sections and/or
situations, and to follow the specified procedures and instructions explicitly,
and to otherwise use all prudent and responsible care to prevent injury.
The completely assembled and operational SkyTracker has all rotating parts (drive
motor, drive chain, drive belt, etc.) and all electrical and optical components contained
within closed and secured housings. The SkyTracker lampheads move relatively slowly
(nominally 6 seconds per cycle). At this slow rate, there is little possibility of being “hit”
or injured by the moving SkyTracker lampheads. Some precautions may be taken to
avoid the possibility of anyone being “bumped” by the units during operation. It is rec-
ommended that, if the unit is operated at ground level in areas where crowds may be
present, a rope barrier or equivalent barricade be established to keep the general public
away from the moving SkyTracker lampheads.
