3-1. General
To insure proper operation and to extend the life of
your SKYTRON surgical lighting system, the fol-
lowing preventive maintenance procedures are
recommended.
NOTE
All repairs should be made using only
authorized SKYTRON replacement
parts.
3-2. Daily Maintenance
Daily or between cases, the lighthead exterior
should be wiped down with a mild cleaning agent
which will not affect the painted or acrylic parts. Do
not apply or spray cleaning agents directly on the
lighthead.
CAUTION
Use of incompatible cleaning agents
will cause damage to the fixture. Avoid
the use of cleaning solutions which
contain high concentrations of alcohol,
ethelene glycol, phenol, iodophors, or
glutaraldehyde based disinfectancts.
Staining, pitting, discoloration and
diffuser cracking may occur if these are
used.
•Use plexiglass cleaners, DO NOT use alcohol
based cleaners on the acrylic diffusers.
•Always consult with the manufacturer of the clean-
ing agent for proper application and use. Always
spot test on an inconspicuous area before use.
•Avoid personal injury. Do not attempt to clean
lighthead unless power is turned off at wall control
and fixture has sufficiently cooled.
•Avoid using excessive amounts of spray cleaners
near top cover vents. Leakage of fluids into the
interior of lighthead may cause corrosion of electri-
cal components.
•Periodically the filter/diffuser assemblies should
be removed and dusted with a clean cloth or
washed and air dried as a complete assembly.
•DO NOT operate lights without the filter/diffuser
assemblies in place.
