Before using the product for the first time
1. Read ’Safety information’ on page 5 before installing, operating or
servicing the fixture.
2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using
the fixture. Never attempt to operate a damaged fixture.
3. If the fixture is not going to be hard-wired to an AC mains power source,
install a local power plug (not supplied) on the end of the supplied power
cable.
4. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the local
power source match the power requirements of the fixture.
5. Check the RUSH™ support pages on the Martin Professional™ website
at www.martin.com for the most recent user documentation and technical
information about the fixture. RUSH™ user manual revisions are identified
by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.
Note that whenever AC power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects
and functions to their home positions. The fixture head will move. This
process usually takes around 20 seconds.
