Safe Handling: Read and Follow the installation/operating instructions listed below to help
reduce risk of personal injury and property damage and help prevent early lamp failure:
1)
Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off & allow lamp & fixture to cool to
avoid
electrical shock & potential burn hazards.
2)
Protect lamp from abrasions & scratches. Do not install or use cracked or broken lamp. If
lamp cracks or breaks in use, disconnect power supply immediately, allow system to cool &
remove lamp.
3)

alcohol and wipe with a lint-free cloth before installing.

recommended and may increase the risk of inner arc tube rupture.

higher than specified power.

tempera-
ture of the bulb wall) as indicated on the product leaflet may not be exceeded.
