Amadas 9980 - Xenon (High Intensity Discharge) Lights

Electrical System Service 9980 Self-Propelled Peanut Combine
Xenon (High Intensity Discharge) Lights
CAUTION
When handling xenon lights, ALWAYS comply
with safety instructions:
• ALWAYS turn OFF light switch and allow
bulb to cool before changing bulbs. Leave
switch OFF until the bulb change is
complete.
•
If xenon bulb ever bursts inside a closed
space (e.g., workshop), leave the area,
making sure it is well-
ventilated, and wait
20 minutes before returning. This will
eliminate the risk to health caused by
gases.
• Make sure that power supply line between
work lights and ballast unit is never twisted
more than 90 degrees and/or bent more
than a length of 20 mm (0.8 in.).
• Wear eye protection when changing xenon
bulbs.
•
Bulbs contain xenon gas under pressure
and metallic salts. Handling a bulb
improperly could cause it to shatter into
flying fragments.
• Do NOT use any bulbs that have fallen on
the ground or have scratches on their
surface as there is a risk of them
shattering.
•
Make sure the bulb is seated correctly in
its holder in the light fixture.
• Check light fixture for signs of damage and
make sure seals are seated correctly.
DANGER
High-
tension voltage creates a potential for
FATAL ACCIDENTS.
•
NEVER insert foreign objects or fingers
into the bulb holder.
•
Ballast unit must never be operated when
the bulb is missing, as this may cause a
dangerous flash-over at the bulb sockets
resulting in serious damage.
• High-
tension voltage is conducted by the
electrical
connection between the work
lights and the ballast unit; this connection
must never be broken.
IMPORTANT! Handle bulbs as follows:
• Handle bulb by base. Avoid touching
glass.
• Place used bulb in new bulb’s carton
and dispose of properly. Keep out of
reach of children.
•
Do NOT drop or scratch the bulb.
Keep moisture away.
•
Use a clean cloth and alcohol to
remove any fingerprints from glass
bulb.
