of the original ELINCHROM mains cord into the mains socket (1).

switch off the unit and check the mains fuse (2).
If failed replace with the correct fuse and switch ON the unit.
This unit is protected by a thermal circuit breaker to avoid overheating.
Should this occur, the unit turns off automatically and cannot be fired.
After a break for cooling, the flash will be ready again for operation.

turn the fuse holder anti-clockwise 1/8th, turn and remove it. If the new fuse blows immediately
upon reconnection, return the unit to an ELINCHROM service centre for a check-up.

the flash tube.
