Installation Precautions:

The installation structure must be capable of holding a minimum of 110 lbs (point load) for 1 hour without deformation.
Always secure the mirror ball motor with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable, to prevent it from falling if the main attachment fails.
The motor and mirror ball must be installed out of reach of people and in an absolutely horizontal position.
Use all four fixation holes for mounting and ensure screws are properly connected to the ground.
If directly connected to the power supply, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole must be included.
The mirror ball should be connected to the motor using a certified chain (up to 50 cm or 100 cm, depending on the mirror ball size).
The installation material must not include abrading materials like steel cables to prevent wear.
The length of the chain must never exceed 100 cm.
Ensure the mirror ball's rotation is never slowed down or obstructed.
Regularly check for deformed or damaged key rings or chain links; immediately remove the mirror ball installation if damage is found.
Avoid operating the device immediately after drastic temperature fluctuations to prevent condensation damage. Allow it to reach room temperature first.
Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables, and handle all connections with caution.
Ensure the available voltage does not exceed the device's stated voltage.
