If a Protector Cap is fitted, it must be removed before the unit is

switched on. Remove the cap by turning it anti-clockwise until the

cap bayonets can be lifted out of the reflector bayonet slots (the

Reflector Release Button may have to be slid back).

NEVER OPERATE THE LAMP OR THE FLASH WHILE THE

PROTECTOR CAP IS FITTED.

Damage to the unit could occur if the cap melts due to the heat from

the flash-tube or lamp.

Replace the Protector Cap when the unit is not in use.

Reflectors and other accessories (such as

Soft Boxes) can be fitted to the unit by

way of the three Reflector Bayonet Slots.

When fitting any accessories, do not

allow anything to touch the flash-tube.

The glass flash-tube can be damaged or

broken if it comes into contact with any

accessory.

It is preferable to fit the modelling lamp

after fitting the accessory, if it is

possible.

Line up the reflector bayonets over the

slots, as shown. If an umbrella reflector

is also going to be used, orientate the

reflector so that the oblong reflector slot

is at the bottom of the unit.

Engage the reflector bayonets and turn

the reflector until it stops. For security of

fitting, slide back the Reflector Release

Button and turn the reflector further.

At this point, the oblong reflector slot should be in line with the unit's umbrella clamp; if an umbrella is

going to be used, the umbrella shaft should pass through the reflector and into the slot of the umbrella

clamp. Note: When inserting the umbrella shaft, do not allow it to touch the flash-tube; damage to the

tube may occur. Always clamp the shaft into place using the Umbrella Clamp Screw (do not over-tighten

this screw; distortion damage to the shaft may occur).

To release the reflector, first remove the modelling lamp, if fitted. Turn the reflector anti-clockwise and,

at the same time, slide back the Reflector Release Button.
