TO REPLACE THE HALOGEN BULB:
1. Ensure the heater is unplugged from the wall outlet. Remove the head unit assembly from the telescopic pole.
2. Remove screws from each end of the head unit and pull off end plates (#2). Note the placement of the 2 small sheet metal
screws on each end plate. Also note end plate side with beveled holes faces outward when re-assembled.
3. Pull out and remove the left and right front air vent panels and protective wire grill (#3). Note the position of end clips on
vent panel. They must be aligned as close to the end connectors of lamp tube as possible when re-assembled. Pull or push
into place as needed.
DO
NOT
allow
metal
parts
to
touch the actual lamp tube when re-assembled.
4. Gently pull out entire old bulb assembly from the clips at the terminal connection ends (#4 & 5). Slide and lift the
connection ends out from the friction clips by gently pushing apart the clips. Unscrew wire leads from terminal. Remove entire
old bulb assembly.
5. Using gloves, gently re-insert connection ends of the NEW bulb assembly into the friction clips (#4). Pull apart the clips
slightly and gently push the connectors into place. Do not allow the metal clips to touch the bulb tube. The clips should be
about at the center point of the end connectors.
6. Re-install the safety grill (fits along grooves in housing body), then re-insert the vent panels by gently pushing the end
clips into housing body. Align clip ends close to the lamp end connectors and push into place. Re-attach end plates making
sure the side with beveled holes faces out.
