4.2 Replacing Rotating Gobos

1. Unscrew the four screws at A and unplug the two sets of DB head cables at B to take out the

component;

2. Unscrew the three screws at C and remove the fan; then unscrew the five screws at D to take out

the component; unscrew the three screws at E;

3. Unscrew the three screws at F and remove the plastic gear; Clamp out the circlip at G to take out

the rotating gobo wheel component;

4. Gently lift the gobo holder from the edge of the rotating gobo wheel (reverse side) as H shows

and slowly pull it out;

5. Remove the spring lock at I with an appropriate tool like tweezers (if the gobo is coated with glass

glue, do remove it with some good glass cleaning fluid before removing the spring lock to avoid

damage to the gobo).

6. Do not touch the surface of the gobo with bare fingers. The gobo has a small position point at its

edge which has to aim at the position point on the gobo holder like J shows (glossy side towards the

light source).

7. Insert the gobo holder back into the rotating gobo wheel component in this way that its position

point has to exactly aim at the center of the rotating gobo wheel.

8. After installation, put the component back to the fixture.
