and electrical codes and has both overload and earth
leakage protection.
• 1ever attempt to bypass the fuse. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the speci¿ed type and rating.
• Verify that the power feed cable is rated for the current draw of all connected ¿[tures. See application informa-
tion on page 11.
• Do not modify the ¿[ture or install other than genuine SGM parts.
• Do not operate the system if the ambient air temperature Tae[ceeds 40 ÛC 104 Û)
WARNING! Read the safety precautions in this section before

Service
&leaninJ
Regular cleaning is essential for the /(D %alls performance. Accumulation of dust and dirt degrades the /(D light output.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment, and the installation should therefore
be checked at frequent intervals within the ¿rst few weeks of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. This
procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your SGM
dealer for a suitable maintenance schedule. Clean the /(D %alls with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water
and a mild detergent such as car shampoo. Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents
for cleaning, as they can cause damage to the surface of the balls.
