ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO UV – Some people may experience a reddening of the skin, usually
contained to small areas of the body, such as arms, stomach area, etc., usually accompanied by an
itching sensation. In many cases it may be nothing more than heat rash. In some cases it may be an
allergic reaction to UV exposure, usually as a result of too much exposure in a given period of time for
that particular skin type. You should be alert to any customer complaints pertaining to this and instruct
the customer to avoid tanning, indoors or outdoors, until the symptoms have disappeared, usually within
24 hours. Once the customer resumes tanning, reduce the exposure schedule until their body has
acclimated to the tanning process.
PREGNANT WOMEN – The only 100% safe answer to this question is to discourage expectant
mothers from using the tanning system, unless they have a letter from their doctor.
CHILDREN – A good policy to adopt is: No children under 18 years of age without written consent
from a parent, unless there are laws in your state or county that indicate otherwise. Keep young children
away from the Sun Capsule. It is not a toy. The sunlamps are breakable and potentially dangerous.
PROTECTIVE EYE GOGGLES – Every customer must wear protective eyewear during a tanning
session. One pair of goggles is provided with each Sun Capsule. It is advisable that each customer owns
a pair of protective eyewear. This is the most sanitary (and protable) way to conduct your business.
It is advisable to remove contact lenses before each tanning session due to the dryness of the air.
PROTECTIVE GUARDS – DANGER: Keep hands and ngers away from protective fan guards,
lamp guards and lamps. Serious injury and/or severe burns may result.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SYSTEM
DAILY MAINTENANCE – Your Sun Capsule has been designed to be virtually maintenance
free. Since the only body parts that come in contact with the system are the bottoms of the feet, close
attention should be paid to this area on a daily basis. The oor can be wiped down with warm water
and Lysol (1 gallon water to 3 teaspoons Lysol) or any other mild disinfectant solution you choose. This
procedure should be performed as necessary, depending on trafc ow.
CAUTION: Clean Fast Flow Floor vent with damp cloth only. Avoid excess cleaning uid dripping through
the vent holes. Make sure oor is dry before next tanning customer enters booth.
Over time, the hand straps will become soiled. They can be removed and washed with warm soapy
water.
The walls, ceiling and framework can be cleaned with any mild NON-ABRASIVE cleaner and a soft cloth.
Ivory liquid and warm water works well. DO NOT ALLOW WATER OR ANY LIQUID CLEANERS TO
COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FLUORESCENT SOCKETS OR SUNLAMPS.
DANGER – Never service the fan without rst unplugging fan motor from junction box and shutting off
power to the Sun Capsule. The fan blade should be cleaned when any noticeable build-up of dust is
noted. Remove the grill from inside the booth and carefully wipe down the fan blades. (Use extreme
caution, the edges of the blade are sharp.)
The lamps and metal guards can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner with a soft furniture duster
attachment. Acrylic guards (optional) should be cleaned regularly (both sides) with a high quality acrylic
cleaner. Dust build up or body oils will greatly diminish the performance of your sun lamps.
Periodically, the lamps should be removed and wiped clean. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS
anywhere in the Sun Capsule.
DECORATIVE FRONT PANELS ONLY – When cleaning the wall panels do not use anything
except Brillianize or equivalent high quality acrylic cleaner with a soft cloth. Use of products, such as
Windex or paper towels, will result in damage to the panels and void warranty.
