The projector should be mounted via its bracket using 2 M12 bolts. The bracket itself attaches to the
underside of the projector with 4 M8x25 bolts provided in the package. Always ensure that the
projector is firmly anchored to avoid vibration and slipping whilst functioning. Always ensure that the
structure to which you are attaching the projector is secure and is able to support a weight of 18Kg for
each SOLO 250. For safety the projector should have a secondary fixing with a safety cord through
the holes on the underside of the unit.
WARNING:
The projector should NEVER be lifted or carried by the yoke.
Note: Watch the text on back cover.
Undo the screw on the lamp access hatch upwards, and then remove the hatch.

The MSD series are high-pressure lamps with external igniters (
). Care should
always be taken when handling these lamps. Always read the manufacturers
"Instructions for use" enclosed with the lamp.
To optimise light output it will be necessary to adjust the lamp alignment to obtain an even distribution
of light within the beam. The three screws (marked A, B, and C) may be gently turned to centre the
lamp within the reflector. The projector should be switched on with the shutter open and the beam
focused to do this, it is also advisable to allow the lamp 5 minutes to come up to full brightness before
starting to align it. Note: the three screws will only need a small adjustment to centre the lamp. Do not
try to unscrew them completely. Read the rest of this manual and then come back to this section to
align the lamp.
