Maintenance
Cleaning
The SHADOW
RTB
is constructed with corrosion resistant aluminum and stainless steel
fasteners. To further enhance corrosion resistance all exposed surfaces receive a powder
coated paint finish. To assure years of trouble free service periodically clean all external
surfaces with a mild detergent solution and a gentle spray of water. DO NOT USE A
HIGH-PRESSURE WASHER , which will force water into sensitive electric circuitry.
Lamp lenses may be cleaned with any commercially available glass cleaner.
The lower stage actuator is a sealed unit and does not require adjustment or lubrication. They also have
a slip-clutch to compensate for minor stroke tolerances at the limits of its travel as well as internal limit
switches. The actuator may produce a ratcheting sound at each end of the stroke which is normal. The
actuator should not be made to ratchet excessively, this can lead to premature actuator clutch failure.
All pivot points on the SHADOW
RTB
are self-lubricating thermal polymer. Periodic cleaning with a
moisture displacing cleaner and soft bristle brush, without disassembly, to remove accumulated dirt and
debris will minimize wear.
Power Failure
The SHADOW
RTB
can be retracted manually if power to the unit is lost. If power loss is temporary,
reestablishing power may be easier than manually retracting the light.
Disconnect power source from the SHADOW
RTB
.
Rotate to Center
Slowly apply pressure to the midplate to manually rotate to the centered position. Trying to rotate the
midplate too quickly or with too much pressure can break the rotation motor shaft. Be certain that you
rotate the midplate in the proper direction as the lamp tree can rotate only 350˚.
Retract the Lower Stage
Locate the silver plug located on the actuator below the actuator’s motor. Use the provided
hex tool (6mm hex bit) to remove silver plug. Be sure to not lose this plug. Use the same
hex tool inserted into the opening to drive the internal gears of the actuator. Be sure to
replace the silver plug after this actuator is fully retracted.
