Maintenance - Strong TrussTrouper 1.2 Instruction Manual

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION for the 41080-01 or -02 (120 V.AC, 60 Hz.) requires
a 120 V.AC, three prong 15 ampere grounded outlet. The Type 41080-03 or -04 (240 V.AC, 50/60
Hz.) may be fitted with a plug acceptable for the local electrical supply.
Plate for the correct voltage before connecting the unit. Sustaining line draw of the TrussTrouper is
(12) amperes; observe local electrical codes regarding line protection.
ENERGIZE THE AC LINE by closing the POWER circuit breaker at the rear of the
spotlight head, and the cooling fans will operate. Close the LAMP switch and the bulb will ignite.
Allow one to five minutes for the bulb to reach full intensity. Rotate the three adjusting screws below
the lamphouse base pan to center and focus the bulb inside the reflector. Alternate adjustments while
observing the spot until the light field is as flat as possible at highest intensity.
WHENEVER THE SPOTLIGHT is moved, either from one position to another, or one
show site to another, the bulb mount should be inspected at the new installation site to determine that
the bulb is firmly seated in its socket. The above bulb alignment procedure must then be repeated
after the bulb mount assembly is replaced.
THE TrussTrouper requires very little maintenance to keep it in good working order.
Cleanliness is the most important factor. Clean the surface of the reflector regularly using a clean,
dry cloth. If excessively soiled, a good, spray-on commercial glass cleaner may be used. The bulb
envelope may be cleaned with alcohol on a clean cloth, and rinsed with distilled water.
THE COOLING FANS are permanently lubricated, and require no oil. Fan impeller
blades and intake grilles must be cleaned regularly to prevent restriction of air flow, particularly after
events such as tractor pulls or rodeos.
OPTICAL SYSTEM LENSES may be cleaned with an optical grade lens cleaner and
Roscoe Lens Tissue. Light lubrication of the lens carriage slide rods using WD-40
may be desirable; do not use graphite lubricants, and do not lubricate the iris assembly.
