SAFETY GUIDELINES
FLIGHT CASE LID
When opening the flight case, the lid must be locked in place manually. The lid support prop is located
on the right-hand side of the flight case, near the power cable storage compartment. The lower end of
the prop is fixed to the flight case, and the disconnected upper end contains a cut-out groove.
Once the lid has been opened, lift the upper end of the support bar and attach it to the recessed catch
on the underside of the lid, along the right-hand side. Make sure that the catch is fully seated in the
support bar’s groove before reaching into the flight case.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE, AS THE LID MAY SWING SHUT WITHOUT WARNING!
See the illustration below for reference.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING! DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES!
ALWAYS ALLOW THE FIXTURE TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the environment in which the unit is kept. Clean periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accu-
mulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user
serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service
technician.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure
the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out
during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
DAISY CHAIN POWER LINKAGE
This feature allows multiple flight cases to be linked together by way of the power input and output
sockets. The maximum number of devices that can be connected in this manner is as follows:
• 4 flight cases using a 15-Amp plug.
• 5 flight cases using a 20-Amp plug.
After this quantity has been reached, a new power outlet must be used to accommodate additional
charging cases.
It is recommended to leave the case lids open when charging in order to avoid the accumulation of
excess heat inside the cases.
Linked devices must be of the same make and model type. DO NOT mix devices!

12
FUSE REPLACEMENT
The flight case features a replaceable fuse. To replace, disconnect the flight case from the power
source, then use a screw driver to unscrew the fuse holder located beside the power ports. Remove
the bad fuse and replace with a new one, then screw the fuse holder back in. Replace only with a
new fuse of the same type and rating.
