1 Contact your authorised Hapro dealer immediately if this
unit does not function as outlined in this manual.
2 Do not operate this unit in humid spaces.
3 Always make sure the fuses can carry the load. This unit
has to be protected by ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) of 0.03A.
4 Always disconnect the power to the unit at the wall
breaker when servicing or cleaning the in-side construction
of the cabine. Maintenance for which the procedure is not
described in this manual should only be done by a qualified
electrician. Never clean the electrical components with
fluids.
5 Ensure that the canopy does not touch the wall when
opened.
6 Prevent the acrylic sheets from coming into contact with
sharp objects.
7 This unit may not be operated if:
• the user is not wearing protective uv-goggles
• the blue or white facial glass is cracked or broken
• the acrylic panel in the canopy and/or bench is missing
• one or more of the fans in the unit are not functioning
properly
• the timing mechanism is not functioning properly

8 To ensure maximum tanning effectiveness, change the
acrylic sheet after every 1200 hours of operation.
9 To ensure maximum tanning effectiveness, replace
the lamps and the facial tanning lamps according to
manufacturer´s instructions.
10 Check local regulations to find out the proper procedure
for lamp disposal.
11 Note: only a special acrylic cleaner may be used to clean
the acrylic sheet. Never use cleaners that contain alcohol,
as these can damage the acrylic sheet.
12 The UV-type of the tanning unit is indicated on the
specificationsticker.
13 Ultraviolet radiation from the sun or UV appliances can
cause skin or eye damage. These biological effects depend
upon the quality and quantity of the radiation as well as
the skin and eye sensitivity of the individual.
14 Excessive exposure may cause skin to burn. Excessive
repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or
UV appliances may lead to premature ageing of the skin
as well as increase risk of skin tumours.
15 The unprotected eye may develop surface inflammation
and in some cases, after a cataract operation for example,
damage may accur to the retina after eccessive exposure.
Cataracts may develop after prolonged exposures.
16 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
17 To replace lamps and starters, remove by turning a quarter
turn to the left. Placement of new lamps and starters is
done in the reverse to the above mentioned procedure.
18 When installing the equipment, follow the recommended
minimum distances listed in the “Dimensions / Placement”
chapter.
19 Clean the dust filters after every 50 hours of use.
Regularly check the dust filters.
Everything regarding assembly, instructions and other details contained in this manual must be
followed correctly and entirely. Failure to do so correctly or entirely will render the right to any product
warranty or liability on the supplier’s behalf null and void. If there is any uncertainty as to whether
the instructions contained in this manual have been followed properly and entirely, you should contact
the supplier of the sunbeds.
Note:
If your customers are using
any medication, ask them to
consult their doctor before
starting a series of tanning
sessions.
Golden rules for sensible tanning
These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of tanning equipment.
We advise you to inform your clients about these rules.
1 Before your client starts tanning, first thoroughly consult
the tanning table included in this book and follow the
recommendation given.
2 This sunbed is not suitable for use by:
• Persons with reduced sensory and/or mental capacity
• Persons lacking knowledge of or experience with sunbeds,
with the exception of individuals who are being supervised
or have received instructions regarding the use of the
sunbed by a person who assumes responsibility for their
safety.
3 Sunbeds are not suitable for use by:
• Persons whose skin is prone to burn without being exposed
to sunlight
• Persons whose skin is already sunburned or has been
burned in a tanning bed
• Persons who have been diagnosed with skin cancer or
precursors of skin cancer
• Persons without a medical advice who experience
unexpected symptoms such as itching within 48 hours of
using a sunbed for the first time.
• Persons younger than 18
4 Make sure that upon commencing a series of tanning
sessions your customers have a rest day following their first
tanning session. If there is no sign of any undesirable skin
reaction they can then continue with the series of sessions.
5 Make sure that your customers do not tan more than once a
day. This applies to tanning using an applaince and tanning
in natural sunlight. The skin does not make a distinction
between the two. Take exposure to natural sunlight into
account.
6 Some medicines and beauty products contain substances
which can cause certain undesirable reactions when
combined with exposure to UV radiation. Other substances
may also sometimes have a similar effect. Below you will
find a list of substances which can react when combined
with exposure to UV radiation:
• Sulphonamide - in various medications, including antibiotics
• Tetracyclines - in antibiotics and acne medication
• Nalidexine acid - in urinary tract infection medication
• Chlorothiazide - in diuretics
• Sulphonylurea - in diabetes medication
• Phenothiazines - anxiety medication
• Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives
• Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators
• Cyclamates - in sweeteners
• Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sunscreen creams/oils
• Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes
• Bleaching agents - in washing powders/liquids
• Eosine - in colourings
• Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal substances
7 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet light, cosmetic
products, e.g. perfumes and make-up can cause the skin to
react. Ensure that your customers skin is clean before they
start tanning. Some products penetrate deep into the skin.
Advise your customers to make sure that their skin is clean
during their tanning session. Recommend that they cleanse
their skin thoroughly a few hours before each tanning
session, or better still, recommend that they wear no make-
up at all the day before. Also tell your customers to remove
any jewellery before tanning.
8 Make sure that your customers do not use cream or oil
that contains a sun block or self-tanning lotion when using
the tanning equipment. These products contain substances
which influence tanning times and thus make the prescribed
times unreliable. Also make sure that your customers do not
use tanning pills in combination with a series of tanning
sessions or exposure to natural sunlight. The combination of
tanning pills and UV light can increase the possibility of skin
irritation and sunburn.
9 If the skin is red and taut shortly after the tanning session
it is likely sunburned. Wait for these symptoms to disappear
before tanning again, revise the tanning plan and reduce the
length of the individual tanning sessions for the customer in
question. If tanning gives rise to undesirable reactions that
you cannot explain, stop the series of tanning sessions and
advise your customer to see their doctor if the symptoms
do not disappear within a short space of time.
10 Make sure that your customers always wear protective
goggles to protect their eyes - even if you may have seen
pictures of people tanning without using these goggles. UV
light which directly enters the eyes can cause eye disorders
(snow blindness, actinic conjunctivitis or cataracts).
11 Reduce tanning time by 20% during the first 50 hours when
using new lamps. During these 50 hours, the lamps emit
120% power instead of the usual 100%. After the first 50
hours, lamps will supply the usual 95% to 100% power for
approx. 450 hours.
