Periodical cleaning - ig. 22
To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts subject to dust and grease deposits. The
frequency with which the following operations are to be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality of the
working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.).
Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from the reflectors, from the lenses and filters. It is recommended
that the projector undergoes an annual service by a qualified technician for special maintenance involving at least the following operations:
•General cleaning of internal parts.
•Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically supplied by Clay Paky.
•General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.
•Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.
