DYNALITE MH2065v INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safeguards
When using this flash equipment, include the fol-
lowing safety precautions.
· Read and understand ALL instructions and
specifications before using your Dynalite equipment.
· Care must be taken when handling the flash
heads as injury could occur from touching the modeling lamp(s) or flash tube(s).
· Do not operate a power pack or flash head
with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped and is visually damaged.
· If an extension power cord is necessary, a
suitable current rating should be used. Cords rated for less than 15 amps may overheat.
· Care should be taken to arrange the cord so
that it will not be tripped over or pulled from the electric source outlet.
· Unplug the power pack from the electrical
outlet when not in use. NEVER yank the cord to pull the plug from the electrical outlet.
· Let flash heads cool completely before putting
them away. Loop flash cables in an 8” to 10”
diameter coil when storing.
· DO NOT allow power cord(s) or flash head
cable(s) to hang on or touch hot surfaces.
· To avoid electrical shock hazard, power cord
(s) or flash head cable(s) must be properly grounded. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the power pack. Incorrect reassembly could cause an electrical shock hazard when a power pack is subsequently used. Take it to a quali­fied Dynalite Service technician when service is required.
· When the power pack is not in use for one
month or more, it is wise to periodical plug the power pack in and turn it ON for a couple of hours. It is not necessary to operate a flash
head during this “idling” time.
