HANDLING THE SPOTLIGHT
GENERALLY THE BEST POSITION for the operator to stand is near the center of
the spotlight, on the right hand side, although the angle of tilt and the size of the porthole may alter the
position for the most convenient operation.
EACH OPERATOR will, after a few minutes of operation, generally develop his own
system and position for operating the unit.
THE HORIZONTAL SWING LOCK LEVER and vertical tilt lock lever located on
the base assembly can be set to give the desired amount of friction on the spotlight swing to suit the
individual operator.
THE LENS CARRIAGE FRICTION BRAKE is a nylon drag screw located on the
outrider of the large lens carriage, and is preset at the factory for most satisfactory operation. Indi-
vidual requirements may vary, and the brake can be adjusted to best suit the operator or allow for a
severe “down” angle. Remove the color boomerang and lens mechanism housing, loosen the nylon
lock nut and adjust the screw on the friction brake to apply the desired tension. Tighten the lock nut
and replace the housing and boomerang.
