afety Information
26487-02A
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. Minimum use distance from face tanner (if equipped) is 1
inch (2.5 centimeters). Minimum use distance elsewhere is touching the clear plastic panels. Do not use without clear plastic panels (or
wire grid for models using wire grid) in place. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive 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 corre-
sponding 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.

Unpacking and Inspection
Your sunbed comes in two cardboard car-
tons, one for the bench and one for the
canopy. Open the cartons and remove the
bench and canopy as follows.
The bench and canopy are each wrapped
in plastic. Pull back the plastic and, with
a helper, grasp the bench and pull it from
the carton bottom, leaving the plastic
wrap and the carton packaging. Do the
same for the canopy. Do not try to lift
either unit with the plastic still on as it
may slip.
Note! The cartons are reusable. You may
wish to save them for future use.
The canopy box contains the canopy unit
and a pair of gas springs. The bench box
contains the following items:
• Bench Unit
• Box containing necessary assembly
hardware, safety goggles, and pillow
• Box containing two stand legs
Inspect these items, including the canopy
and bench, and make sure they are free
from any visible damage. Report the
extent of any damage to the transportation
company.
Record the serial numbers of the canopy
and bench in the area provided at the
back of this manual. This information will
be required whenever you call customer
service.

Installation - Pre-Installation Planning
26487-02A
Pre-Installation Planning
Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following pre-
installation considerations.
• Your sunbed operates from a 120V
AC source. You should have a NEMA
5-20R electrical outlet (like the one
shown below) installed in the room
in which you will use the unit. The
outlet should be on a dedicated cir-
cuit capable of providing 20 Amp
service. We recommend installation
by a professional electrician. The
outlet must be earth grounded.
20 AMP NEMA #5-20R RECEPTACLE
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 the
sunbed’s endcaps or out of the fan
openings. A poorly ventilated room
may cause the unit to become hot
and cause discomfort to the user.

Before You Tan
Before using your sunbed, please note the
following important precautions.
• Your skin should be free of cosmetics,
tanning oils, or other body lotions
prior to tanning except for those
specifically made for use with tanning
devices. However, do not remove nat-
ural body oils by bathing or showering
immediately before tanning.
• Your hair should be free of gels,
mousses, sprays, or other hair products
prior to tanning. These products can
cause damage to the sunbed acrylic.
As an alternative, a shower cap or
towel can be worn to keep treated hair
away from the sunbed surfaces.
• This unit intended for individual use.
Only one pair of eyewear is included.
Exposure Times
Follow the guidelines for skin type and
exposure times as shown in the table
below. Untanned persons should not tan
on consecutive 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 approxi-
mately 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.
DANGER
Some medications may increase your sen-
sitivity to ultraviolet light. It is recommend-
ed that you consult a physician before
using this sunbed if taking any medication
or if you suspect that your skin might be
especially sensitive to sunlight.
DANGER
Shock hazard.
Do not operate this device near water
or while you are wet.

Using Your Sunbed
Once you have read Before You Tan and
Exposure Times, you are ready to use your
sunbed. Proceed as follows.
Your sunbed is designed for individual
use. Always wear the safety goggles sup-
plied with your sunbed or another
approved pair of goggles, as defined
under 21 CFR 1040.20. Regular sunglass-
es do not provide adequate protection
from ultraviolet light.
Step 1 Set the timer to the desired
number of minutes (after first
determining the proper time
period from the table on page
9). The lamps will turn on as
soon as you move the rotary dial
from the “0” position.
Step 2 Lift the canopy, lie down on the
bench (face up), and lower the
canopy toward your body. For
best results, position the canopy
as close as possible to your
body.
Step 3 When the timer reaches 0, the
lamps will automatically turn off.
WARNING
Wear protective eyewear.
Failure to may result in severe burns or
longterm injury to the eyes.

are and Maintenance
Cleaning After Use
Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s
bench and canopy after each use. Use a
non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does
not contain ammonia or ammonia deriva-
tives. Ammonia may damage the acrylic
shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disin-
fectant and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Wipe the canopy grid with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with disinfectant, then
wipe dry. We recommend Australian
Gold® PH Neutral disinfectant cleaner.
Step 2 With a soft cloth, wipe the entire
length of each lamp to remove
any film buildup.
Step 3 Clean both sides of the acrylic
shield and grid with a non-
ammonia disinfectant cleaner.
Step 4 Wipe the reflectors with a clean
damp cloth.
Step 5 Re-install the lamps, acrylic
shield and grid.
Mechanical Inspection
Your tanning bed has been built for years of
service. To ensure trouble-free operation
throughout its life, inspect the unit’s
mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours
of use.
• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying
that all are firmly in place. Pay partic-
ular attention to the hinge bolts.
• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear.
Gas springs that will not hold the
canopy in the full open position when
raised should be immediately replaced.
• Inspect the timer as indicated in this
manual under Timer Maintenance.
• Inspect the AC power cord and its
connections.
• Inspect the acrylic. Broken, cracked or
badly scratched acrylics should be
immediately replaced.
WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before removing
any protective covers.
Thorough Periodic Cleaning
Introduction
The cooling fans draw air through the bed
and over time will cause a dust buildup on
the lamps and reflectors. This will reduce
the tanning effectiveness of the bed. When
a dust buildup is observed, it is necessary to
thoroughly clean the inside of the bench
and canopy.
Cleaning the Canopy and Bench
Step 1 Remove the acrylic shield, metal
grid and lamps as described in
Replacing Lamps.

13
26487-02A
Replacing Lamps
Introduction
To be assured of maximum tanning effec-
tiveness, change lamps after approximate-
ly 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will
continue after this time but at a slower
rate. Replace the lamp starters whenever
the lamps are replaced.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shield
and Canopy Grid
The acrylic shield in the bench and metal
grid in the canopy are secured in place by
hinged profiles which run the length of
the bed, both front and back.
Bench Shield
Simply pry up on the inside edge of the
profile until it releases its latching action
(see figure at right). Continue to pry up the
profile across its entire length until it
swings back freely. Repeat for the other
profile. The long edges of the acrylic
shield are now exposed. Standing in front
of the sunbed, grasp the long exposed
edge of the acrylic and carefully slide it
toward you until it is removed.
Canopy Grid
As you pry the hinged profile open the
canopy grid should start to drop out on its
own. You may want to have a helper hold
the grid while you pry open the profiles.
If you need to, slide the grid toward the
head or foot end of the sunbed and it will
drop out easily.
After changing the lamps, replace the
acrylic shield and canopy grid by revers-
ing the above directions. Close the hinged
profile by pushing it back into place until
it snaps tight.
PROFILE
CAUTION
Be careful. The edges of the acrylic shield
may be sharp.
Start pulling from the
middle of the profile!
WARNING
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing.

Removing/Replacing Lamps
After removing the acrylic shield and
canopy grid, replace lamps as follows.
Step 1 Grasp a lamp at one end and at
the middle, then turn the lamp a
quarter turn. The lamp may then
be gently removed from its
holder.
Step 2 To reinstall a lamp, insert the
pins located on the ends of the
lamp into the slots on top of the
lamp holder and turn the lamp a
quarter turn.
Recommended Replacement Lamps
We recommend using the lamps specified
below. Use of uncertified lamps is a viola-
tion of Federal regulations and will void
your warranty. These lamps have an aver-
age life of 800-1000 hours of effective
tanning use. Lamps used longer than that
begin to lose their effectiveness even
though they will continue to light.

Care and Maintenance - Timer Maintenance
26487-02A
Timer Maintenance
Your SunQuest® sunbed is equipped with
a backup shut-off timer which will auto-
matically turn off the sunbed in the
unlikely event of a malfunction of the pri-
mary timer. This important safety feature
also prevents the user from resetting the
timer before the end of the pre-set maxi-
mum time interval. The electronic timer
limiting circuit is automatically reset each
time the primary timer is turned to the
OFF position.
Annually, or whenever your sunbed is re-
lamped, check the operation and accura-
cy of the timer system as follows.
Step 1 Obtain an accurate watch capa-
ble of measuring in seconds. Set
the timer to its maximum inter-
val. Using the watch, time how
long the lamps remain on. The
lamps should shut off within
plus or minus 10% of the maxi-
mum timer interval.
Step 2 Set the timer to the maximum
time interval. Wait ten minutes,
then turn the knob back to the
maximum time position. The
electronic time limiting circuit
should turn the lamps off at an
elapsed time equal to approxi-
mately 10% beyond the maxi-
mum timer interval, even
though the primary timer con-
tinues to show time left.
Call ETS Customer Service if your timer
does not operate properly, or if you expe-
rience difficulty with these tests.
CAUTION
Do not perform these tests with a person in
the sunbed.
Doing so may lead to overexposure which
can cause eye and skin injury and allergic
reactions.

roubleshooting
Problem Solution
Lamps fail to light
One or more lamps fail to
light
Canopy fails to stay in the up
or down position
Sunbed does not stay lit
1. Check source of AC power. Reset circuit breaker or
replace fuse if necessary.
2. Make sure the unit is plugged into outlet.
3. Make sure cord between canopy and bench is
properly connected.
4. Make sure timer dial is turned to a number past 0.
5. Make sure Parental Lock is in the vertical position.
1. Check that lamp is installed correctly.
2. Switch unlit lamp with a lamp that lights. If the new
lamp lights and the old lamp still does not, replace
old lamp.
3. If replacing lamp does not remedy problem, con-
tact your service representative.
Gas springs should hold the canopy fully open as
well as allow it to rest fully closed. If the canopy is
left open for an extended period of time it may
creep down. This is considered normal. Keep the
canopy closed when not in use. Replace gas springs
when they no longer have sufficient power to hold
the canopy open when raised.
1. Check source of AC power. Reset circuit breaker or
replace fuse if necessary.
2. Check timer system per maintenance instructions in
this guide. Contact your service representative.
