afety Information
Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause
eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin
cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES.
Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before using sunlamp if you are
using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you
are unlikely to tan from the use of this product. Children, the elderly, or fair skinned people who always burn easily and either never tan
or tan minimally should not use this equipment.
To use, lie down under canopy and pull down as far as adjustment will allow maintaining at least 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) between
your body and canopy clear plastic panel and side tanner clear plastic panel, otherwise overexposure may occur. Minimum use distance
elsewhere is touching the clear plastic panels. Do not use without clear plastic panels in place. Untanned persons should not tan on con-
secutive days during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions
and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having
a base tan may begin at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
New lamps emit approximately 10% more ultraviolet radiation during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning times should
therefore be reduced by approximately 10% during that period.
WARNING: • Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product. • All persons in the room should wear protective eyewear
when lamps are on. Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields or equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Other types
of eyewear may not provide adequate protection. Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe burns or other eye injury. If dis-
comfort develops, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Renseignements sur la Sécurité
Rayonnement ultraviolet. Veuillez suivre les instructions. Évitez une exposition excessive. Tout comme pour les
rayons du soleil, une exposition excessive peut causer des blessures aux yeux et à la peau et provoquer des réac-
tions allergiques. Une exposition répétée peut causer le vieillissement prématuré de la peau et provoquer le cancer de la peau. PORTEZ
DES LUNETTES PROTECTRICES: LE NON-RESPECT DE CETTE CONSIGNE DE SÉCURITÉ PEUT ENTRAÎNER DE GRAVES
BRÛLURES OU DES LÉSIONS OCULAIRES À LONG TERME. Les médicaments ou les produits cosmétiques peuvent augmenter votre
sensibilité au rayonnement ultraviolet. Consultez un médecin avant d’utiliser la lampe solaire si vous prenez des médicaments, si vous
souffrez d’une maladie cutanée ou si vous croyez être particulièrement sensible aux rayons du soleil. Si vous ne bronzez pas au soleil, il
est peu probable que vous bronzerez sous une lampe solaire. Les enfants, les personnes âgées et les personnes qui ont une peau claire
qui brûle facilement, ne bronze jamais ou alors très peu, ne devraient pas utiliser cette lampe.
Étendez-vous sous la partie supérieure, puis abaissez celle-ci aussi bas que possible, en veillant cependant à conserver un espace d’au
moins 3,5 pouces (8,9 centimètres) entre le corps et le panneau de plastique transparent de la partie supérieure et le panneau de plastique
transparent de l’appareil de bronzage latérales, afin d’éviter une exposition excessive. Les autres parties du corps peuvent toucher les pan-
neaux de plastique transparents. N’utilisez pas la lampe sans les panneaux de plastique transparents. La première semaine de bronzage,
les personnes qui n’ont pas un hâle initial ne doivent pas se faire bronzer tous les jours. Ne vous faites jamais bronzer plus d’une fois par
jour. Le bronzage commence normalement à apparaître après les premières séances : il atteint son apogée au bout d’environ quatre
semaines. Les personnes qui ont déjà un teint hâlé peuvent commencer à des niveaux plus élevés, selon l’importance de leur hâle initial.
Les lampes neuves émettent approximativement 10 % de plus de rayons ultraviolets au cours des 50 premières heures de fonction-
nement. Le temps de bronzage doit donc êatre réduit d’environ 10 % pendant cette période.
AVERTISSEMENT : • Lisez le livret d’instructions avant d’utiliser cette lampe solaire. • Les autres personnes présentes dans la pièce
doivent aussi porter des lunettes protectrices lorsque les lampes sont allumées. Coquilles de protection pour les yeux recommandées:
Les coquilles de protection fournies ou l’équivalent, tel que le stipule le document 21 CFR 1040.20. Les autres types de lunettes pro-
tectrices peuvent ne pas assurer une protection adéquate. Utilisé sans lunettes protectrices, ce produit peut causer des brûlures ou
lésions oculaires graves. Si vous souffrez d’un malaise, arrêtez l’utilisation et consultez un médecin.

nstallation
Pre-Installation Planning
Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following consid-
erations.
• The SolarForce® 648 operates from
a 220V AC power source. The unit
should be wired to a dedicated cir-
cuit capable of providing 80 Amp
service. This unit must be hardwired
directly to a junction box. We rec-
ommend connection by a profes-
sional electrician.
• IMPORTANT! Voltage must be
below 230V AC or may require a
Buck Booster.
WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before
servicing.
Air from the room is used to cool
the sunbed. Maximum ambient
room temperature should be 80°F.
Place your sunbed no closer than
6” from any wall. Make sure nothing
obstructs the airflow into or out of
the fan openings. A poorly ventilat-
ed room may cause the unit to
become hot and cause discomfort
to the user.
CAUTION
Use of a voltage source above 230V
AC may prevent proper operation of
the sunbed and could cause damage
and void the warranty.
CAUTION
Proper assembly of your sunbed
requires three people. Plan to have
a couple of helpers assist you.
CAUTION

Installation - Unpacking and Inspection
Unpacking and Inspection
Your sunbed comes in two cardboard car-
tons, one for the canopy and one for the
bench and ballast tray. Open the cartons
and remove the sunbed parts as follows.
The canopy is wrapped in plastic. Pull
back the plastic and, with a helper, grasp
the canopy and pull it from the carton
bottom, leaving the plastic wrap and the
carton packaging. Do not attempt to lift
the canopy with the plastic still on as it
may slip. Do not lift the canopy by its
plastic endcaps. Leave the bench in its
box until instructed to remove it in
Assembly Procedures.
Note! The cartons are reusable. You may
wish to save them for future use.
After unpacking the unit, check to make
sure you have received the following:
• Canopy unit
• Bench unit
• Ballast drawer
• Front access panel
• Two large endcaps, one with small
lamps
• Shoulder tanner cover
• Two 10” diameter flexible ducts
• Bag containing necessary assembly
hardware, safety goggles, and pillow.
Inspect these items, including the canopy
and bench, to make sure they are free
from any visible damage. Report the
extent of any damage to the transportation
company.
Record the serial number of the unit in the
area provided at the back of this manual.
This information will be required whenev-
er you call customer service.
