Cinco Star™ General Instructions
Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the
internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to opti-
mize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment
in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
In heavy use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic
cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp beam output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a soft brush to clean out the air vents
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.

the lamps have had ample time to cool. Remember,
lamps are not covered under warranty conditions.

breaker is designed to close the power circuit in the event of an inter-

place. If the breaker continues to pop, stop using the unit and con-
