INSTRUCTIONS FRICTION PANTOGRAPH TOP 2C AND 4C
CLOSED LENGHT MAX EXTENSION WIDTH 1 2 FRICTION PANTOGRAPH 1 The friction pantograph is made of aluminum (P-Al MgSi UNI 3569) and manufactured according to DIN 15560-46. The load is supported by a steel cable of 2 mm diameter (safety factor 12). Loads up to 12 kg (26.4 lbs) can be suspended using only the patented friction device, while loads up to a maximum of 18 kg (39.7 lbs) require the use of the optional springs. In any case, it is always advisable to use the springs to aid raising your pantograph.
FRICTION ADJUSTMENT 2 The pantograph can be regulated to keep suspended loads from 1 kg (2.2 lbs) to 18 kg (39.7 lbs) perfectly balanced. By turning the notched ring “X”, you can adjust the pantograph’s friction; this will ensure that the load remains stable when set in position, but that it will move smoothly up and down when necessary. PLEASE NOTE The friction mechanism does NOT help lift the load, it only holds the load in the desired position and stops it from dropping downwards.

CABLE AND HOLDING CLIPS 6 - Mount the supplied cable-holding clips as shown. - With the pantograph closed, pass the power cable through the clips and secure it with cable ties (not supplied). - Recommended cable ties from 3 to 4,5mm width.
MAINTENANCE 7 To ensure your Pantograph continues to work correctly and safely, you must make the following regular checks: Every 6 months: Check that the steel wire and counterweight springs (if installed) are in good condition – that they are not kinked or twisted and that they show no sign of cuts/breaks or other irregularities. Check that all screws on counterweight springs are tight.

First completely unscrew the bolt and nuts “D” (fig. 1). Take part “E” and place it on the rail as shown in figure “2”. Take part “F” and place it on the rail as shown in figure “3”. Slide the two part “E” and “F” in order to joint them (fig. 4). Lock securely bolt and nuts “D” (fig. 5).
TOP ATTACHMENT 10 16MM (5/8”) FEMALE ATTACHMENT Unscrew knob “H”, depress button “M”, insert the male attachment “X” on the hole “G” and release the button. Lock firmly knob “H”: ensure that the knob is able to seat in the recessed safety groove on the male attachment (fig. 10) Button “M” serves as safety catch, but it is strongly recommend to secure the load with appropriate safety cable (not supplied).
BOTTOM ATTACHMENT 12 28MM - (1-1/8”) FEMALE ATTACHMENT 2 U Y 3 T T 1 12 R U Loose knob “T” until 28 mm (1 1/8”) luminair spigot can be fully inserted into the clamp. Insert the 28 mm (1 1/8”) luminair spigot on the female attachment “R” until it protrudes as shown in figure 12. The spigot has an hole drilled through it, into which you should insert the safety pin “U” in such a way that it protrudes equally from both sides of the 28 mm (1 1/8”) spigot.
BOTTOM ATTACHMENT 14 16MM (5/8”) MALE ATTACHMENT Always ensure that the knob of the 16mm (5(8”) female attachment seat in the recessed safety groove on the pantograph 16mm (5/8”) male attachment. It is recommend to secure the load with appropriate safety cable (not supplied). 14 BOTTOM ATTACHMENT 15 M10X30MM SCREW WITH NUT After mounting the load and firmly locked, secure it with appropriate safety cable (not supplied).
