A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
Mounting Orientation This fixture should only be mounted/used on a flat surface. This fixture may not be tilted. Rigging It is important never to obstruct the vents pathways. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. When selecting installation location, take into consideration the fluid reservoir access and routine maintenance. Safety cables must always be used, utilizing the provided safety eye bolt.

5. APPENDIX General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power.
