• DEVICES MUST ALL BE INSTALLED FOLLOWING ALL LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND COUNTRY COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL AND CONSTRUCTION CODES AND REGULATIONS.

• The mirror ball unit features a mounting eyelet, which is located at the center of the top of the mirror ball. This eyelet should be used as the primary mounting point. Please refer to the Overview section of this manual.

• Mounting hardware (such as chains or carabiners) should be rated to support 12 times the weight of the unit.

• When installing the mirror ball in a rotating display, make sure to mount the mirror ball in such a way that the mounting cables or chains do not become tangled as the mirror ball rotates.

• Installation should NEVER be done using hardware constructed of an abrasive material, as this could lead to excessive wear on the mounting eyelets.

• Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping during operation.
