MAINTENANCE
THE XENON GLADIATOR IV SPOTLIGHT requires very little maintenance to keep it in
good working order.
THE REFLECTOR should be cleaned periodically with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to re-
move dust from the reflecting surface. If excessively soiled, the reflector may be cleaned with Windex
® or an
equivalent glass cleaner. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners of any kind. Clean the heat filter glass; replace with
the coated surface toward the lamphouse.
CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS for tightness on a regular basis. Loose connec
-
tions, particularly in the DC circuit, may cause premature bulb failure and damage lamphouse components.
LUBRICATE the (3) squirrelcage blower motors with two or three drops of non-detergent oil
once every six months.
THE XENON BULB should be checked occasionally for the presence of dust or foreign
materials on the quartz envelope. If necessary, clean the envelope with alcohol, and wipe dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth. Observe all safety procedures when working with the exposed bulb.
THE INSIDE OF THE LAMPHOUSE and the blower squirrelcages should be cleaned peri-
odically, depending on the dust conditions at each installation. Keep the blower inlet and outlet grilles clean
to permit free air flow.
THE LENS SYSTEM should be kept clean to prevent any light reduction in the projected
spot. Tighten the horizontal swing and vertical tilt locking clamps. Remove the operator-side optical system
access panel to clean the back surface of the large lens and access the small projection lens which is held in
place with a large spring-type retainer ring at the front of its lens barrel.
CLEAN THE PROJECTION LENS and large lens with with any cleaner approved for use
on coated projection lenses. Replace the Buhl projection lens with the end with the FL marking ring toward
the iris; the ISCO lens tube has arrows indicating the end nearest the iris. Secure with the retainer ring.
BEFORE TRANSPORTING the spotlight, remove the xenon bulb from the lamphouse. Place
the bulb in its plastic cover and original shipping container.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT AC POWER BEFORE SERVICING
