For wall mounting
:
1. Install 2 wall screws approximately 4 9/16”
apart (Fig. A). If studs are not available, use
drywall anchors sufficient to hold 15 lbs.
Ensure that screw heads are large enough to not
slip out of slot in handle, but not too large to fit
through the large opening on the keyhole slot.
2. Leave screw heads protruding approximately
1/8”-1/4” from wall.
3.
For optimum cooling configuration, we
recommend that the ballast be mounted
vertically with the output connector towards the bottom
.
Ensure that keyhole slots are oriented correctly (large hole down).
4. Loosen handle screws (Fig. B) and slide handle to center for wall
mounting (Fig. C) then retighten screws.
Installing and connecting the ballast:
1. Find a suitable location for the ballast with sufficient cooling and
away from any heat source. We recommend vertical mounting.
2. Before plugging your ballast in, make sure it is disconnected from the
power source, the lamp is firmly installed into the lamp socket, and
the Lock & Seal lamp cord is securely connected to the ballast.
3. Only use Hydrofarm provided power cables to connect the ballast
to input power.
4. Lamps with auto-ignitors will not work with this ballast.
Not for use
with external ignitors.

INITIAL START UP:
We recommend that you run your ballast
and bulb for at least 12 straight hours after initial start-up. This will
improve lamp life and performance.
