Disconnect the unit from its power source. Locate the fuse holder on
the rear panel of the unit. Using a phillips-head screw driver unscrew
the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one.
Screw the fuse holder back into the unit containing the new fuse.

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environ-
ment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust,
dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis.
Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.
