  1. Plan your anchor points: Identify base locations on your truss or rigging where added mass improves stability and load distribution.
  2. Position the ballast: Place the 30 lb unit at each selected point so it sits flat and does not obstruct clamps, feet, or leveling hardware.
  3. Integrate with the build: Combine with your standard base hardware and confirm the ballast remains secure as elements are tightened.
  4. Verify before load-in: Check stability after the rig is assembled and again once fixtures/signage are added.

Always follow venue rules and manufacturer guidance for rigging and weights; use qualified personnel for any overhead work.
