afety Information

LABELING NOTICE: Labels are affixed on all systems to inform the user of possible dangers. Regulations are stated in
21 CFR, Section 1040.20, and require that all products manufactured after September 8, 1986 which use sunlamps
must display the following:

Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure.As with natural sunlight, over-expo-

sure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause pre­mature aging of the skin and skin cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS
OR LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES.

Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultra-violet radiation. Consult physician before using
sunlamp if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to
sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product.

Do not use without clear plastic panels (or wire grid for models using wire grid) in place. Tanning normally appears
after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to
maintain appearance. Frequency of sessions should be limited to every other day. Persons already having a base
tan may begin at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

New lamps emit approximately 20% more UV during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning times
should therefore be reduced by approximately 20% during that period.

W

ARNING: •Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product.•To use, lie down under canopy

and pull down as far as adjustment will allow. All persons in the room should wear protective eyewear when lamps
are on.

•

Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields (Lucas Products Super Sunnies or Intrexco No. 5635/1) or
equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Other types of eyewear may not provide adequate protec­tion.

Unpacking and Inspection

Your sunbed comes in two cardboard cartons, one for the bench and one for the

canopy or top deck. Open the cartons and remove the bench and canopy as follows.

The bench and canopy are each wrapped in plastic. With a helper, grasp the bench

and pull it from the carton bottom, leaving the plastic wrap and the carton

packaging. Do the same for the canopy.

Note! The cartons are reusable, in the unlikely event that you may find it necessary

to return your sunbed.

The canopy box contains the canopy unit and a pair of gas springs. The bench box

contains the following items:

• Bench Unit

• Box containing necessary assembly hardware, safety goggles, pillow
and two legs

• Assembly and User Guide

Inspect these items, including the canopy and bench, and make sure they are free
from any visible damage. Report the extent of any damage to the transportation
company.

Record the serial numbers of the canopy and bench in the area provided on the
back page of this manual. This information will be required whenever you call cus­tomer service.

Pre-Installation Planning

Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following pre­installation considerations.

Installation-Pre-Installation Planning

• Your sunbed operates from a 120V ac source. You should have a NEMA

5-20R electrical outlet (like the type shown below) installed in the room
in which you will use the unit. The outlet should be on a dedicated cir­cuit capable of providing 20 Amp service. (We recommend installation by
a professional electrician.) The outlet must be earth grounded.

20 AMP NEMA #5-20R RECEPTACLE

• Make sure the room in which you intend to use your sunbed is well

ventilated. Air from the room is used to cool the sunbed, and a poorly
ventilated room may cause the unit to become hot and cause discomfort
to the user.

• Your sunbed is designed to operate in an ambient room temperature of

80°F maximum and 70% relative humidity.

• Place your sunbed no closer than 6" from any wall. Make sure that cur-

tains, drapes, and other room furniture do not obstruct the airflow into
the end caps or out of the fan opening areas.

• Proper assembly of your sunbed requires three people. Plan to have a

couple of helpers assist you.

Before You Tan

Before using your sunbed, please note the following important precautions:

• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body lotions
prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use with tanning
devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by bathing or
showering immediately before tanning.

• Your hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products
prior to tanning. These products can cause damage to the sunbed acrylic.
As an alternative, a shower cap or towel can be worn to keep treated hair
away from the sunbed surfaces.

• Some medication may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet light. It is
recommended that you consult a physician before using this sunbed if
taking any medication or if you suspect that your skin might be especially
sensitive to sunlight. Included with this manual is an FDA booklet on
medications that increase sensitivity to light.

• As with all electrical appliances, do not operate this device near water

or while you are wet.

Exposure Times

We recommend that you tan every other day, following the tanning times in the
exposure schedule. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maxi­mizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to
maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced
levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the table below.

Operation-Using Your Sunbed

Using Your Sunbed

Once you have read Before You Tan and Exposure Times, you are ready to use your
sunbed. Proceed as follows.

WARNING! Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Only one pair of protective
goggles is provided.

Always wear these or another approved pair of goggles. You
should never look at the lamps when turned on without wearing the appropriate
protective goggles. Regular sunglasses do not provide adequate protection from
ultra-violet light.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Set the timer to the desired number of minutes (after first deter­mining the proper time period from the table on page 10). The
lamps will turn on as soon as you move the rotary dial from the
“0” position.

Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench (face up), and lower the
canopy toward your body. For best results, position the canopy
as close as possible to your body.

When the timer reaches 0, the lamps will automatically turn off.

are & Maintenance

C

Cleaning After Use

Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each use. Use a non-abra­sive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain ammonia or ammonia derivatives.
Ammonia may damage the acrylic shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. We recommend SunQuest disinfectant and SunQuest
acrylic cleaner.

Thorough Periodic Cleaning

Introduction

The cooling fans draw air through the bed and over time will cause a dust buildup on the
lamps and reflectors. This will reduce the tanning effectiveness of the bed. When a dust
buildup is observed, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and
canopy. Warning! Disconnect sunbed from electrical power before cleaning.

Cleaning the Canopy and Bench

Step 1. Remove the acrylic shields and lamps as described on page 13.
Step 2. With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp to

remove any film build-up.

Step 3. Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia

disinfectant cleaner.

Step 4. Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
Step 5. Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields as described on pages 13-14.

Mechanical Inspection

Your tanning bed has been built for years of service. To ensure trouble free operation
throughout its life, inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.

• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place. Pay particular attention
to the hinge bolts.

• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Gas springs that will not hold up the canopy
in the full open position should be immediately replaced.

• Inspect the timer as indicated in this manual under Timer Maintenance.

• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.

• Inspect the acrylic. Broken, cracked or badly scratched acrylics should be replaced.

13

Replacing Lamps

Introduction

To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after approximately
800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this time but at a slower rate. To
ensure trouble-free operation of your sunbed, replace the lamp starters whenever the
lamps are replaced.

Warning! Disconnect sunbed from electrical power before servicing.

Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields

Step 1. The acrylic shield in the bench and the grid in the canopy are

both secured in place by vinyl retainer strips which run the
length of the bench and canopy, both front and back. To remove
the retainers, gently pry up on one end of the retainer, working
your way along the full length until the retainer is removed.
Repeat for the other retainer. Lift the shield out of the unit.

Step 2. After changing lamps, replace the shield by reversing Step 1.

Care & Maintenance-Replacing Lamps

SMALL VINYL

RETAINER

Removing/Replacing Lamps

After removing the acrylic shield, replace lamps as follows:

Step 1. Grasp the lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the

lamp a quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed
from its holder.

Step 2. To re-install a lamp, insert the pins located on the ends of the

lamp into the slots on top of the lamp holder and turn the
lamp a quarter turn.

Recommended Replacement Lamps

Do not use lamps other than those specified below. Doing so is a violation of
Federal regulations and will void your warranty. These lamps have an average life
span of 800-1000 hours of effective tanning use. Lamps used longer than that lose
their effectiveness even though they will continue to light.

Care & Maintenance-Timer Maintenance

Timer Maintenance

Your SunQuest sunbed is equipped with a backup shut-off timer which will
automatically turn off the sunbed in the unlikely event of a malfunction of the pri­mary timer. This important safety feature also prevents the user from re-setting the
timer before the end of the pre-set maximum time interval. The electronic timer
limiting circuit is automatically reset each time the primary timer is turned to the
OFF position.

Annually, or whenever your sunbed is re-lamped, check the operation and accuracy
of the timer system as follows. DO NOT perform these tests with a person in the
sunbed.

Step 1. Obtain an accurate watch capable of measuring in seconds.

Set the timer to its maximum interval. Using the watch, time
how long the lamps remain on. The lamps should shut off
within plus or minus 10% of the maximum timer interval.

Step 2. Set the timer to the maximum time interval. Wait ten minutes,

then turn the knob back to the maximum time position. The
electronic time limiting circuit should turn the lamps off at an
elapsed time equal to approximately 10% beyond the maxi­mum timer interval, even though the primary timer continues
to show time left.

Call ETS Customer Service if your timer does not operate properly, or if you
experience difficulty with these tests.
