5. APPENDIX

General Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off the fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal components.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully.
