WARNING: DO NOT connect or disconnect energized power cable at fixture (under load). Turn
off circuit breaker (or completely de-energize circuit) before connecting or disconnecting power
cable at fixture. Power is only removed from the fixture by disconnecting power cable from
source or turning off source circuit breaker.
Note: Shipping / Transportation - The zoom assembly on the VLX3 Wash should be fully
retracted (inside the head assembly) when the unit is not in use, being shipped, or is in storage.
Vari-Lite recommends this be done with a suitable DMX control device. However, if the need
arises to manually retract the lens, then it should be done by very carefully and slowly, with even
pressure on each side of the barrel in line with the rails or with pressure right in the center between
the three lenses. Care should be taken to not press quickly (taking less than 5 seconds) as this can
possibly damage the unit. The unit should be adequately protected when shipped. See the latest
version of Vari-Lite technical notice TN-235 on the Vari-Lite web site or contact Vari-Lite
customer support for more information.
