B ASIC SERVICE 4
This chapter describes the maintenance procedures that you can perform
yourself.
Warning The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Always disconnect
the fixture from AC power and allow to cool for at least 20
minutes before handling or opening.
CLEANING
Regular cleaning of the elements in the optical path, as well as the air
vents, is vital to maintaining the operational quality of the Mania PR1.
Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades
performance and causes overheating and damage to the
fixture that is not covered by the warranty.
Cleaning the air vents and fan
To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the air vents
periodically. Remove dust from the air vents with a soft brush, cotton
swab, vacuum, or compressed air.
Cleaning optical components
Clean the optical components regularly. The presence of smudges or dust
on optical surfaces can reduce the strength of the light output and the
quality of the effects.
Use care when cleaning optical components and work in a clean, well lit
area. The coated surfaces are fragile and easily scratched. Do not use
solvents that can damage plastic or painted surfaces.
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.

2 Remove the thumb screw holding the cover in place.
3 Slide the fixture cover open.
4 Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed
air.
5 Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab
moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub the surface: lift
the particles off with a soft repeated press.
6 Remove smoke, and other, residues with cotton swabs or unscented
tissues moistened with isopropyl alcohol. A commercial glass cleaner may
be used, but residues must be removed with distilled water. Clean with a
slow circular motion from center to edge. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-
free cloth or compressed air.
7 Close the fixture cover and tighten the thumb screw, taking care not to
trap any loose wires.
