b) Mounting MB150


The installation of MB150 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 MB150 when mounting, removing or servicing MB150.
The installer should make sure that MM150 is installed correctly and that the installation is checked by an
expert on a regular basis.
If you are a rental house utilizing MB150, 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:
MB150

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 MB150
as the fixture does move. 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 MB150’s
weight.
Once installed then connect MB150 to the correct power source. 120 volts A.C.
