5. Allow the flashtube to cool down.
ALWAYS USE A PROTECTIVE GLOVE TO REMOVE THE FLASHTUBE!
6. Remove the security spring from the flashtube and pull the flashtube firmly out of the
terminals.
7. If the tube is broken, use security gloves to avoid cutting yourself and use an
insulated tool to pull out the electrodes. Never touch the metal electrodes.
8. Now replace with a new correct original Elinchrom flashtube. An insulated tissue or
security gloves MUST BE USED. Any contact with your fingers on the tube, can cause
dark markings on the tube when used.

gripping the tube with the security wire.
10. Re-connect and test the head as usual.
NOTE: Check the correct polarisation when Action, A-type flashtubes are replaced! They
normally fit only in one direction!
