8.   Maintenance and Cleaning the POWER WASH 250B™  

It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt, smoke, and fog-
fluid  residues  do  not  built  up  on  or  within  the  fixture.  This  will  reduce  the  risk  of 
premature  lamp  life  failure  and  will  prevent  a  significant  reduction  in  lamp  output. 
Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the 
fixture to function reliable throughout its life.  

A  soft  lint-free  cloth  moistened  with  any  good  glass  cleaning  fluid  is  recom-
mended, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!

 

The  inside  optical  system  should  be  maintained  only  by  authorized  persons.  Please 
contact  Elation  professionals  for  recommendation  associated  with  internal  cleaning 
procedures.

 

8.1 Safety Regulations 

 

Always disconnect main power before attempting any service related 
issues! 

  Allow ample time for the lamp to cool (at least 20 minutes) before performing 

any cleaning procedures.

 

  Never attempt operation with any of the protective covers removed!

The  above  chart  is  a  recommended  cleaning  schedule  only.  Cleaning  frequency 
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.E. smoke, fog residue, 
dust, dew). In clubs that observe heavier use, we recommend cleaning on a more 
frequent  basis.  Periodic  cleaning  will  ensure  fixture  longevity  and  crisp  lamp 
output.
