Replacing rotating gobos
Important! A gobo can fall out of its holder if its spring is inserted the wrong way round.
Do not lubricate gobo bearings: excess grease can cause loss of step.
Correct gobo orientation is critical. Read the guidelines in Figure 13 carefully before installing a
gobo.
The MAC Encore™ Performance has a rotating gobo wheel with rotating texture/breakup gobos. Gobos are
interchangeable.
To replace a gobo:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Remove the top head cover, and position the head with the front glass angled downwards and the open
top side facing upwards.(see “Access to the head” on page 13). Apply the tilt lock.
3. Remove the multi-module from the head (see “Access to the multi-module” on page 15).
4. See Figure 14. Turn the gobo wheel until the gobo you want to replace is accessible from the side of the
module.
