4. Clean reflectors and windows.
5. Clean bulb ends. Clean inside contact area of Upper Bulb Adapters,
clean contact points on upper bulb support spider.
6. Tighten DC cables.
7. Inspect blower motors for proper air flow; clean impellors.
8. Reinstall bulbs and replace housings.
Operate the system – Check automatic ignition, thermal switch operation, motion (timing
belt and motor) function and pilot lights.
NOTE: The main drive belt should not ride on the side of pulleys.
Operate and align lampheads; night-test and refocus all the bulbs.
Any parts (such as main drive belts, flexible air ducts, switches, etc.) which are found to
be worn or in questionable condition, should be replaced to insure trouble-free operation.
Xenon bulbs should also be replaced as required.
CAUTION
Upon expiration of the bulb warranty (see warranty information packaged with
bulb), the possibility of the bulb bursting increases, particularly if the quartz
envelope shows signs of excessive darkening.
If bursting occurs, the tempered window may also break and the reflector may
become scratched, resulting in a degradation of the lamphead’s performance.
For this reason, it is recommended that the xenon bulbs be replaced once the specified
warranted life span has been reached.
