Mounting instructions for umbrella
Para 170 FB / Para 220 FB / Para Soft 220 FB / Para 330 FB
Mounting of the umbrella reflector
1. Fixing the umbrella reflector onto the stand
-
Take the umbrella out of the container.
-
Slide the tilt head onto the bolt which is situated on the reverse of the spoke framework rim, and tighten the screw.
-
Fix the folded umbrella horizontally onto the stand (image 1).
-
Remove the Velcro
®
strap, which holds together the umbrella reflector.
-
Remove the protective ribbon which fits around the circular base holding the supporting spokes.
2. Unfolding the umbrella reflector
-
Tilt the umbrella reflector forwards (image 2).
-
With flat hands, gently press the umbrella spokes outwards (image 3).
3. Front focusing
-
The front focusing device cannot be removed by the user. It is an integrated part of the umbrella.
-
If required mount the extension adapter for the Para FF/FB (art. no. 33.476.00) on the lamp head holder of the
front focusing device.
4. Opening the umbrella reflector
-
To open the umbrella use the crank gear (image 4).
-
Insert the bar handle and screw it in tightly. This bar is enclosed with the umbrella and the user needs it as a
handle to change or modify the position of the umbrella (image 5).
-
Put the umbrella into the desired position.
5. Mounting of the Pulso G, Unilite or HMI F575 lamp head
-
The front focusing device is fitted with a bolt at the bottom hole of the holding plate. You can fix the Pulso G or the
HMI F575 onto this device. As shown on the image the lamp head must be positioned diagonally (image 6).
-
If using the lamp head Unilite, the bolt must be screwed tightly at the top hole of the holding plate.
-
Run the lamp head cable through the Velcro
®
opening in the umbrella cove behind the umbrella.
6. Mounting of the Ringflash P on Para FB umbrella
- Unscrew the side screw and remove the adapter from the Ringflash P. Afterwards slide the Ringflash P along the
focusing bar of the Para FB umbrella until it is behind the adapter plate of the focusing bar (image 10). Rescrew
the adapter to the Ringflash P.
- Pass the fixing screw through the outer hole of the adapter of the Ringflash P and screw the Ringflash P to the
adapter plate of the Para FB umbrella (image 11). By slightly loosening the side screw on the Ringflash P, it is
possible to pivot the lamp vertically.
- To pivot the Ringflash P horizontally, the lamp must be tilted to 90° and fixed with the fixing screw in the middle
hole of the Ringflash P adapter. For reasons of space, the lamp holder bolt, which is also fixed on the adapter
plate of the Para FB (image 12), must be previously dismounted.

®
strap (image 8).
-
Place the umbrella in a horizontal position again and put the protective ribbon over the circular base holding the
supporting spokes.
