Cleaning Head Modules
Cleaning Rotating gobos
The rotating gobo gears should be periodically lubricated using a high temperature synthetic oil
lubricant with added PTFE. This should be applied to the main centre drive gear teeth and the bearing
surface of the individual cups whilst the gears are rotating. Excess oil should be removed using a lint
free cloth with the cups stationary.
Cleaning Cross Fade Colours
Use a lint free cloth and suitable non-staining glass cleaner to gently wipe over the colour filters in the
cross fade module and colour wheel. Take care to:
1. Ensure that you do not remove the anti-reflecting strip on the leading edge of the CMY colour
blades.
2. Do not use excessive pressure when cleaning the blades or you will distort the filter carriers.
Cleaning the Triplet Lens
The Triplet lens can be easily cleaned, without removing it from the focus module.
1. Remove focus module from the unit,
2. Slide Triplet lens forward and hold outer casing,
3. Clean the outer lens surface with non-staining glass cleaner,
4. Repeat for the other end of the lens
Cleaning the Prism Module
To clean the Frost blades, use the same technique as for the cross fade colours.
To clean the Prism, first manually move the Frost and Dim blades out of the optical path.
Then manually slide the prism into the centre of the module. This should now allow you access to
clean both Prism surfaces as per the triplet lens.
Please take great care when cleaning any of the head modules. Mishandling or rough treatment
will damage or misalign these delicate optical parts

Important
When replacing any of the modules, please ensure the spring wires (at the top and bottom of
each module) locate in the grooves cut into the two retaining bars. This ensures the optimum
optical alignment of the different modules in the lamp.
