SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and
allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.
DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.
DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped and/or
damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace it immediately with a new one
of similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots. All fan and air inlets must remain clean and
never blocked. Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a
wall for proper cooling.
When installing fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting
hardware that is no less than M10 x 25 mm, and always install fixture with an
appropriately rated safety cable.
Always disconnect fixture from main power source before performing any type of
service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug
end, never pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the
interior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the
interior of the casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will
decrease gradually over time.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure the fixture will function properly for
many years to come.
Use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output,
and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can
cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid
dirt/debris accumulation.
Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service
issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts,
please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months,
to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may
fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and
rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could
allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured
rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or
sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
