sessions and territories. It is the owner’s responsibility to establish the date and place of purchase by
acceptable evidence, at the time service is sought.
B. For warranty service, send the product only to the Magmatic Effects factory. All shipping charges

of this warranty, Magmatic Effects will pay return shipping charges only to a designated point within
the United States. If any product is sent, it must be shipped in its original package and packaging mate-
rial. No accessories should be shipped with the product. If any accessories are shipped with the prod-
uct, Magmatic Effects shall have no liability what so ever for loss and/or or damage to any such acces-
sories, nor for the safe return thereof.
C. This warranty is void if the product serial number and/or labels are altered or removed; if the prod-
uct is modified in any manner which Magmatic Effects concludes, after inspection, affects the reli-
ability of the product; if the product has been repaired or serviced by anyone other than the Magmatic
Effects factory unless prior written authorization was issued to purchaser by Magmatic Effects; if the
product is damaged because not properly maintained as set forth in the product instructions, guide-
lines and/or user manual.
D. This is not a service contract, and this warranty does not include any maintenance, cleaning or peri-
odic check-up. During the periods as specified above, Magmatic Effects will replace defective parts

WARRANTY RETURNS (USA ONLY)

MAGMATIC. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide product proof of purchase and serial num-
ber by acceptable evidence such as an invoice copy or an approved MAGMATIC Extended Warranty
Certificate (“EWC”) and any relevant maintenance records at the time warranty service is sought.
Failure to provide acceptable evidence of product proof of purchase or EWC and any relevant mainte-
nance records may be cause for denial of warranty service.

safety cables, brackets, clamps, rigging hardware, frost filters, gel frames, barn doors, lenses, hoses,
nozzles, rack mounting hardware, etc.), must be boxed using the original and/or suitable packag-
ing materials (double-box and foam) that provides ample product protection for ground and/or air

the return box, and a brief description of the problem and the RMA number must be documented and
included in the box.
Products returned for warranty service without an RMA number clearly marked on the outside of the
package will be refused and returned to the shipper at the Customer’s expense. Products returned for
warranty service, which are received damaged due to inadequate and/or improper packaging and/
or due to damage caused by the shipping carrier, may incur additional repair charges before warranty
service begins and/or may void this warranty. If any product accessories (included and/or optional) are
shipped with the product, MAGMATIC and/or the MAGMATIC Authorized Service Center shall have
no liability what so ever for the loss and/or damage to any such accessories, nor the safe return thereof.
If the requested warranty repairs or service (including parts replacement) are within the terms of this

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
9
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function and an extended life. The
frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the driver operates: damp,
smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the
driver. Clean the external surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accu-
mulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this driver, please refer all other service issues
to an authorized MAGMATIC service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please
order genuine parts from your local MAGMATIC dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to
make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition in order to prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may
fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceil-
ing, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust or liquids
to enter into the driver. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the
driver to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
