b) Mounting Paintcan
The installation of Paintcan has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety device (a safety cable or chain for
example).
Never stand directly below Paintcan when mounting, removing or servicing Paintcan.
The installer should make sure that Paintcan is installed correctly and that the installation is checked by
an expert on a regular basis.
If you are a rental house utilizing Paintcan, then use the appropriate half coupler (½ cheeseboro) or “C”
clamp to secure the fixture to the truss or pipe. Remember to tighten down the cheeseboro or “C” clamp
before raising the truss. Don’t laugh! It has been done before now. Fixtures hopping down a truss, is not
a safe sight to see!!
Caution:
Paintcan
should be installed outside areas where people can reach it, walk by it or be seated
underneath it when being installed. Overhead mounting requires experience including, amongst other
things, calculating the working load limits and installation material being used. Periodic safety
inspections should be done of Paintcan. If you do not have the qualifications and experience, do not
attempt the installation. Improper installation can result in bodily injury to yourself or others.
Before mounting make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times
Paintcan’s
weight.
Once installed then connect Paintcan to the correct power source. 120 volts A.C.
Do not connect it to a dimmer circuit, even if that dimmer circuit has a non dim setting.
Do not connect to a circuit which has “high electrical noise” such as large AC motors which have not
been correctly suppressed. This can interfere with the operation of the Paintcan causing it to ghost the
lamp or pulse the dimmer.
