DO NOT ALLOW AIR VENTS TO BE BLOCKED!
Your 6004 / 6004-AS illuminator needs air to breathe! Lack of ventilation can cause the
unit to overheat. This will shorten the lamp life and could damage the unit. DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT BECAUSE OF BLOCKED AIR VENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR
WARRANTY!

The illuminator is not getting power. Check the toggle switch position by referring to the
diagram on the front of this manual. Check the GFCI breaker and check the fuse on the illuminator.

-LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH
The adequacy of pool lighting is subjective at best. What is acceptable to most, may not be for some. The pool builder is
given guidelines by SR Smith, and the builder alone is responsible for the final design and installation. There are many
factors that determine the ultimate brightness of our product; fiber lengths, pool finish color, installation techniques, etc.
Remember that darker color on our color wheel, i.e. magenta, are not as bright as lighter colors like white
