INSTALLATION
The motor must only be installed in an absolutely horizontal position at a vibration-free, oscilation-free and
fire-resistant location. By using a water-level, make sure that the motor is installed absolutely horizontally
and that the motor axle points exactly to the bottom.
If the motor and the mirror ball are to be operated above persons, additional risks arise. A hazard analysis
based on the location and application must be performed in order to ensure dimensioning and measures for
a safe operation. Both the motor and the mirror ball meet the professional association safety regulations
regarding safety and operation.
The installation of the mirror ball has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. This secondary safety attach-
ment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Attachment
The rotary motor should ideally be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the mirror ball. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation
yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury
and/or damage to property.
The motor and the mirror ball have to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the motor shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The motor must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution:
Mirror balls may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the
safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the motor!
Before attaching the device, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times
the device's load (e.g. maximum load 3 kg - point load 30 kg).
The mirror ball motor must always be installed via all fixation holes. Do only use appropriate screws and
make sure that the screws are properly connected with the ground.
The durability of the installation depends very much on the material used at the installation area (building
material) such as wood, concrete, gas concrete, brick etc. This is why the fixing material must be chosen to
suit the wall material. Always ask a specialist for the correct plug/screw combination indicating the maximum
load and the building material.
