18. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may

fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.

2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware

and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could

allow for UV radiation leakage. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could

cause the unit to fall and serious injure a person.

3. All mechanical parts and motors should not show any traces of serious wear and

should rotate freely.

4. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or

sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.

Further instructions depending on installation and usage have to be adhered by a skilled

installer and any safety problems should be addressed before attempting operation.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the fixture to ensure operational longevity and crisp

light output. When cleaning, please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or

solvents.

There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture with the exception of the lamp. Please

refer all other service related issues to an authorized Elation service technician.

Should you decide to service the fixture yourself please order genuine Elation parts directly

from Elation.
