b) Mounting MY575
The installation of MY575 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).
Never stand directly below MY575 when mounting, removing or servicing MY575.
The installer should make sure that MY575 is installed correctly and that the installation is checked by an
expert on a regular basis.
If you are a rental house utilizing MY575, then use the appropriate half couplers (½ cheeseboros) to secure the
fixture to the truss or pipe. Remember to tighten down the cheeseboros before raising the truss. Don’t laugh! It
has been done before now. Remember with yoke fixtures on a flown truss, when you move them the truss can
move too. It’s just obeying Newton’s third law of motion: “to every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction”. Please remember this when securing the MY575 fixture.
Cautions:
MY575
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 MY575
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 MY575’s
weight.
Once installed then connect MY575 to the correct power source. 120 volts A.C.
Installation via the Omega U Brackets.
Screw one clamp (the clamp is not provided with MY575) onto each of the two Omega U brackets supplied with
MY575.
Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega bracket into the respective holes on the bottom of MY575.
Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega U bracket. Please do not use pliers,
crest wrenches and the like to turn the quick-lock fastener. If you do, there is very real likelihood that you will
break the Omega bracket. (These can be replaced at a substantial cost to your boss!)
Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing or any secondary fixing
point. Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold MY575 if the U brackets, clamps or the fixtures
base breaks or fails. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from falling to the ground.
