Gobo Replacement
Tools:
#2 Phillips screwdriver
WARNING: Remove power from luminaire before performing maintenance. Gobos may be HOT
after operation. Allow to cool before replacing.
To replace a gobo:
Step 1. Remove power from luminaire.
Step 2. Remove appropriate head cover by loosening four 1/4-turn screws:
a. To access Wheels 1 and 3, remove bottom cover as shown in Figure A-3 .
b. To access Wheel 2, remove top cover as shown in Figure A-3 .
Step 3. If accessing Wheels 1 and 3, also raise hinged fan duct assembly. (Fan duct has a lamp
cutoff switch which will disengage power to lamp.)
Step 4. Rotate gobo wheel until required gobo position is accessible.
CAUTION: Do not push on gobo glass. Press on gobo carrier only.
CAUTION: Do not touch gobos with bare fingers. Wear cotton gloves or other covering while
replacing. Clean with glass cleaner and soft cloth if required.
Step 5. Remove current gobo by carefully pressing on edges of gobo carrier with fingers, pressing
gobo toward front end of luminaire (toward lens), and out of wheel.
Step 6. Install new gobo as follows:
a. Align three tabs on gobo carrier with three notches in wheel (gobo can only be oriented
in one direction).
