IMPORTANT TIPS
FOR USING THE GAM FILM/FX™
It is important to smooth focus the field of the ellipsoidal spotlight be-
fore inserting the Film/FX™ into the gate. Hot spots will cause uneven
wear on the FX/Loop and shorten its useful life. Be sure that the field is
as even as possible with no hot center. Always have the FX/ Loop in
motion before the light comes on. Do not allow the section to heat up
and shorten the life of the loop particularly if excessive heat is focused
on one area.
