IMPORTANT: for uniform distribution of the light beam, the lamp must be positioned
so that the glass pip (39) on the bulb does not coincide with the optical axis of the
projector.With this in mind, locate the pip as high up as possible.
CAUTION: The projector uses a high pressure discharge lamp with
external starter.
- When fitting a new lamp, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
- The lamp must always be changed without delay if damaged or deformed
by heat.
• Routine cleaning
To maintain the light output of the
projector undiminished, parts that
tend to accumulate dust and
grease must be cleaned periodi-
cally.
In most circumstances, the projec-
tor will give long and trouble-free
service if these simple guidelines
are followed.
To remove dirt from the lenses
and filters, use a soft cloth moist-
ened with any liquid detergent
suitable for cleaning glass.
IMPORTANT: do not use solvents or alcohol.
Parts that need cleaning frequently.
Parts that need cleaning monthly.
The gobo wheel can be cleaned with a
paintbrush.
Internal components should also be given
a general clean once a year, dislodging
dust and dirt with a brush and removing it
simultaneously with a vacuum cleaner.
• Lubrication of mirror head
clutches
Check periodically that the grease
applied to the mirror pan and tilt
clutches is in good condition; if not,
remove and regrease with Kernite
LUBE-K-AC (p/n 104034/801) to
ensure smooth and even movement
of the mirror.

Changing the colour filters
Having opened the projector, identi-
fy the filter to be changed, grip firm-
ly between thumb and forefinger and
push against the spring clip (40) until
free of the fixed clips (41).
Bend the filter outwards and
remove.
Offer the new filter to the spring clip
(40) and anchor behind the fixed
clips (41).
• Changing metal gobos
Having opened the projector, identi-
fy the gobo to be replaced and push
gently toward the clips (42) until
free.
Take the selected replacement from
the holder (43) on the gobos/iris
plate.
Offer the new gobo to the two clips,
push gently and locate behind the
third, checking for flatness.
• Changing dichroic/photo gobos
Having opened the projector, identi-
fy the dichroic gobo to be replaced
and push gently until the spring (44)
is free of its seat.
Take care that the spring does not
drop into the projector. Replace the
gobo and locate the spring (44),
inserting the two ends first and then
making secure by pressing on the
remaining part of the spring.
• Changing the lamp
Open the projector, loosen the two side nuts (37) of the lamp to be changed and
remove it from the supports (38).
Remove the new lamp from its packaging, loosen the two side nuts (37) and locate
the lamp in the supports (38). Finally, retighten the nuts.

IMPORTANT: isolate the projector from the electrical power supply before com-
mencing maintenance work of any description.
The maximum temperature on the outer surface of the projector under normal
operating conditions is 90 °C (194° F). After switching off, do not remove any part
of the projector for at least 10 minutes, as indicated on the lamp change label (1).
Once this time has elapsed, the risk of a lamp exploding is practically zero.
If the lamp needs changing, wait a further 20 minutes to avoid the risk of burns.
In the event of a lamp exploding, the appliance is designed to prevent fragments
of glass from being scattered. Lenses and clear filters supplied with the appliance
must be fitted at all times, and if visibly damaged must be replaced promptly with
genuine spares.
• Opening the projector
Free the lamp access cover (12) by loosening the knob (36), and/or loosen the
knob (15) to allow removal of the effects cover (16). Once the necessary work
has been completed, refit the cover and retighten the knob.

• Lubrication
To ensure that rotating gobos and
prisms continue to operate smoothly,
the bearings should be lubricated with
oil every six months: use only Kernite
LUBE-K-AHT (p/n 164028/801).
Apply the oil using a syringe with a fine
needle.Avoid over-lubricating, as excess
oil could be spattered during rotation.
The rails of the focusing mechanism
should be cleaned and lubricated using
a cloth moistened with Kernite WAY-LUBE
oil (p/n 172063/801).
