Care & Maintenance-Replacing Lamps
Replacing Lamps
Introduction
Your tanning bench has an hour meter which keeps track of how many hours the
sunbed has been in operation. Use this meter to determine when your tanning lamps
should be replaced. To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps
after approximately 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this time but
at a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of your sunbed, replace the lamp
starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
Warning! Disconnect sunbed from electrical power before servicing.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields
The acrylic shields in the canopy and bench are both secured in place by vinyl
retainer strips which run the length of the canopy and bench, both front and back.
To remove the retainers, gently pry up on the outside edge of the retainer near the
middle of the bed with a screwdriver until the retainer releases its latching action
(See figure below). Continue prying up the retainer throughout its full length until
removed. Repeat for the other retainer. The long edges of the acrylic shield are
now exposed.
Canopy Shield
Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp the long exposed edge of the
acrylic and carefully begin sliding it toward you, until it is removed
from the sunbed.
Bench Shield
Slide the acrylic shield toward the head or foot end of the bed.
The short edge of the acrylic shield at the opposite end should
now be visible. Remove the shield by lifting from this end.
After changing lamps, replace the acrylic shield by reversing the above steps.
On bench shields, take special care to ensure that the acrylic is centered
from head to foot before installing the retaining strips. Replace each retainer
by first installing its ends into place under the endcaps, then working
toward the center, push it into place.
