Owner’s Manual
PHOTOSENSITIVE DRUGS – The following is a partial list of some of the photosensitive drugs on the
market. It is your responsibility to be aware of any customer using any drug considered photosensitive.
These individuals under the inuence of this type of drug can experience adverse effects and should
avoid exposure to UV sources of all kinds. Doctors will advise persons taking these medications of
possible adverse effects.
DANGER:
If you have been diagnosed by a doctor as being allergic to the sun or are currently taking
photosensitive medications, consult your physician before using the Sun Capsule.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU TAN
Certain drugs do not mix well with ultraviolet light, either in its natural source or articial. Below is a list of
drugs, foods, and other substances which could make your skin super sensitive to sunlight:
Diuretics: To aid in water retention, also prescribed for high blood pressure. (For example: Hydrodiuril)
Diabetes Drugs: Orinase and Diabinese
Urinary Tract Infection: Treatments with Phensthiazines
Tranquilizers: Such as Thorazine
Antihistamines: Phenergan and Benadryl, particularly when used on the skin in ointment form
Antibiotics: Declomycin, Aureomycin, and Griseofulvin, a drug used in the treatment of ringworm
Coal Tar Treatment: for Psoriasis or chronic Eczema
Bacterial Infection: Treatments using Sulfanilamide.
Compounds Known as Furocoumarins or Psoralens: which sensitize skin to sunlight. They are
prescribed for vitiligo (loss of skin pigmentation) and Psoriasis.
Anesthetics Dilantin Pheynibuzatone Termail

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 protable) 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 trafc 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.

8
TIMER OPERATION – Your digital timer is solid state in design, giving you years and years of
accurate and reliable timer settings. If you add a timer cord longer than 90’ in total length, a transformer
will be necessary to boost the 24 volt signal from the booth to the timer.
If using the timer in stand-alone use: After each session, your digital timer will read “0”. To enter
session time, simply press the (^) button until the desired time appears in the “window”. If you go past the
desired time, keep pressing the (^) button until the correct time is reached.
Starting the Tanning Session – The tanning session can be activated in two ways. (1) You can press the
“START/STOP” button on the timer, or (2) the customer can press the “START” button in the Sun Capsule
when they are ready to start tanning. #2 is the recommended procedure.
Stopping the Tanning Session – The tanning session can be terminated in two ways. (1) Press the
“START/STOP” button on the timer. (2) the customer can place the “EMERGENCY SHUT OFF SWITCH”
on the panel in the Sun Capsule to the “OFF” position. Note: Both these methods will terminate
the tanning session but the time will continue to count down. If the customer decides to place the
“EMERGENCY SHUT OFF” switch in the “ON” position, the tanning session will be reactivated, if there is
still time remaining on the digital read-out.
IMPORTANT – “Emergency Shut Off” switch must be in the “ON” position before the Sun Capsule can
be reactivated.
If using the timer with a database system:
Your Sun Capsule timer is compatible with most popular database systems. The Sun Capsule timer port
for the daisy chain connection to the database takes a CAT-5 cable. If requested, this cable is supplied
with your Sun Capsule timer. The CAT-5 cable, along with an adaptor and the RJ22 cable, joins in your
daisy chain line the same as all your other equipment.
When using the Sun Capsule timer with a database system, the database over rides any manual control
of the timer. Therefore, you will only be able to set time to the Sun Capsule through your database
system.
HOUR METER – The hour meter is located on the control panel above the “LIGHT” switch. It is
non-resettable. It will allow you to keep track of total hours as well as when to change or rotate your sun
lamps.
NOTE: The last digit is in “tenths” of 1 hour. It is easier to ignore the last digit and read only full hours.
Example: 00015.2 is actually a little more than 15 hours.
EMERGENCY ENTRY KEY (SUN CAPSULE WITH ATTACHED DRESSING ROOM) – The
Emergency Entry Key is on a chain (to prevent loss or misplacement) on top of the booth, mounted to the
ceiling above the door.
CHANGING OVERHEAD LIGHT (SUN CAPSULE WITHOUT ATTACHED DRESSING ROOM) –
Do not exceed 10 watt, 12 volt bulb. Keep ngers from touching replacement bulb.
PEAK PERFORMANCE
Your Sun Capsule is the fastest vertical tanning system on the market today. It is a nely tuned, ultra-
high performance tanning system, but you must be aware of the following factors that affect the tanning
capabilities of the system.
VOLTAGE: Your system requires a minimum of 230 volts. A running voltage between 230 to 235 volts
is required to attain peak performance. Please factor in the effect of other equipment running in the salon
at the same time. In most cases a buck boost transformer will be necessary to achieve proper running
voltage.

9
PROPER COOLING IS THE KEY TO PEAK PERFORMANCE AND LONG
LAMP LIFE.
ROOM TEMPERATURE: Optimum performance can only be attained provided you supply
adequate cooling to the system to begin with. To insure the highest output from your system, your
room temperature should be between 73ºF and 80ºF. Room temperatures higher than or lower than
the above temperatures may adversely affect the performance of the lamp. In the case of higher room
temperatures, lamp life can be decreased as well.
Do not obstruct wall panel intake ports.
Do not feed air-conditioned air directly into the Sun Capsule. This will cause over-cooling of the lamps
and reduced performance.
Keep the unit at least 6 inches away from any wall or obstruction and 12” from another Sun Capsule or
tanning system. Air must be allowed to ow freely into the unit through the Fast Flow Floor Vent.
FAN OPERATION: Your Sun Capsule cooling fan is equipped with an adjustable delay timer that
is preset at the factory for approximately 4 minutes. This allows for proper lamp cool down after each
session. Anytime the Sun Capsule is energized, the 4 minute fan delay will be automatically activated.
VENTING/DUCTING OF FAN – It is important to keep the ambient temperature in the vicinity of
the Sun Capsule between 73 F – 80 F. If you have very high ceilings or if your Sun Capsule sets in a very
large open area, it may not be necessary to vent the exhaust air from the fan. If you have low ceilings or
the Sun Capsule is in an enclosed room, it is important to employ a ducting system to remove the hot air.
If you have a “suspended” ceiling with a generous amount of dead air space above, the least expensive
way of removing the hot air would be to fabricate a duct that would enclose the space between the fan
motor grill and the suspended ceiling, allowing the air to ll the dead air space. See diagram.
 Any
reduction of airow from cooling fan will result in a decrease in performance, overheating and potential
damage to the VHR sunlamps.
You must take some things into consideration when doing this. First you must have a way to get rid of
the hot air in the dead air space or back pressure will build up, causing the temperature to rise in the Sun
Capsule.

10
To accomplish this, install plastic A/C return grids near A/C ducts in your salon, allowing the air from the
dead air space to lter down throughout your salon and mix with conditioned air.
If your Sun Capsule is in an enclosed room, you must make sure that you bring air into the room as fast
as you take it out. This can be done with a full louvered door leading into the enclosed room. Keep in
mind, whatever you do, you must replace the air being taken out of the room with an equal amount of
fresh air.
Another method is to install more A/C. To determine the proper amount of A/C, consult your HVAC
expert. Give them the total number of sunlamps and wattage of your specic model. That information
will help them recommend what the best solution is for your given situation. Do not feed conditioned air
directly into the Sun Capsule.
CHANGING STARTERS – Your Sun Capsule is equipped with electronic starters that carry a 10
year warranty from the manufacturer of the starters. Should a starter fail within that time period, the
starter will be replaced free of charge according to warranty procedure.
LAMP END BLACKENING – Due to the high operating temperatures of the VHR sunlamps, lamp
end blackening will occur. This does not adversely affect performance.
PROPER LAMP INSTALLATION – The manufacturing process of a sun lamp creates a phosphor
coating that is slightly thicker at one end of the lamp than the other. By installing every other lamp with
the manufacturer’s label at the “top” (and every other lamp with the label at the bottom) a more uniform
UV output will be attained.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
REMOVING METAL LAMP GUARDS: Each lamp guard is fastened to each lamp xture with two
fasteners at the top, two in the middle and two hooks at the bottom. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,
back out the four fasteners and gently raise the lamp guard up and away from the lamp xture.
REMOVING ACRYLIC LAMP GUARDS: Release locking mechanism at top of guard and
carefully lift the guard up and off of the mounting posts.
REMOVING LAMPS: Rotate lamps until pin aligns with opening in socket. Be careful not to bend or
break pins when removing lamps.
LAMPS FOR LIFE FOR LESS™: When you purchase a Sun Capsule you are automatically enrolled in
Sun Capsule’s Lamps For Life For Less™ program giving you access to the absolute lowest prices for all
your lamp needs. Call 1-800-272-8267 for details.
INSTALLING LAMPS: Start by placing bi-pins in bottom socket, making sure to line up pins with slot
in bottom socket. Next, insert top bi-pins in slot in top socket. Rotate lamp 90 degrees, making sure lamp
socket is locked in place at both ends.
VERY IMPORTANT: Each VHR® lamp has a reector built into the lamp. The reector encompasses
the solid white portion of the lamp. This must be rotated to the rear, enabling all UVA/UVB to be directed
toward the customer. When lamp is properly installed, label will be facing you.
INSTALLING METAL LAMP GUARDS: Before you install lamp guards, make sure all lamps are
working properly. Position lamp guard on the lamp xture by inserting the hooks at the bottom of the
lamp guard into the appropriate slots at the bottom of the xture. Push the lamp guard down until the top
holes in the lamp guard align with the top holes in the xture. Align and insert the fasteners into threaded
inserts and tighten securely.
INSTALLING ACRYLIC LAMP GUARDS: Line up opening on the sides of the acrylic guard with
mounting posts. Push the guard onto the posts and down. Reposition locking mechanism.

11
INDOOR TANNING LOTIONS, OILS, AND MOISTURIZERS – You should carry at least
one or two lines of top quality indoor tanning products. A good pre-tan base gel is recommended during
the rst week of tanning. After a base tan has been achieved, usually 4-5 sessions, an accelerator or
amplifying lotion or oil can be used to enhance the tanning process.
Moisturizers should be encouraged throughout the tanning program. They should be applied after
tanning. A lip protector should be used during tanning since the lips have no ability to produce melanin
for protection.
REMEMBER: The tan produced by the Sun Capsule is a rich dark cosmetic tan. Make sure your
customers understand that AN INDOOR TAN WILL NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION
AGAINST OVER-EXPOSURE TO NATURAL SUNLIGHT.
CAUTION: Your system is equipped with a Fast Flow Floor Vent. It is advisable to avoid any spray-type
lotions or oils. The vaporized lotions will be carried throughout the tanning system via the rapidly moving
air passing through the vent, resulting in slippery oors and cause for frequent clean up.
LAMP ROTATION (54 LAMP VERSION)
From the moment a new sun lamp is energized, it begins a gradual decrease in performance. VHR lamps
tend to last approximately 500 to 600 hours. There are a few different ways to change lamps.
The most simple method is to let the lamps reach their life expectancy and then change all of the lamps
at one time. The drawback to this method lies in the fact that by the time you change your lamps, they
have reached their maximum life expectancy.
A more efcient method is through a lamp rotation process. This can be accomplished in any number of
ways. The following example applies to the 54 lamp version and will take you through 2 rotations. After
the second rotation you will be left with some lamps with 400 more hours on them. Put these lamps aside
for future rotation(s).
Before Lamp Change After Lamp Change
1st Rotation – 200 Hours
Step 1. Remove 18 lamps from section 1. Mark them “200 hours”. Put aside for the 2nd rotation.
Step 2. Install 18 new lamps into section 1.

Sun Capsule I (Without Dressing Room)
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
5.5 Sided Sun Capsule Tanning Systems
With and Without Attached Dressing Rooms
Sun Capsule II (With Dressing Room)
NOTE: An insulated earthing conductor that is identical in
size, insulation material and thickness to the earthed
and unearthed branch circuit supply conductors,
except that it is green with or without one or more
yellow stripes, is to be installed as part of the branch
circuit that supplies the unit or system. The earthing
conductor described is to be connected to earth at the
service equipment – or if supplied by a separately
derived system – at the supply transformer or motor-
generator set.
“Unit must be wired by an authorized electrician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-1987, as well as all local codes.”
IMPORTANT
A voltage between 230 to 235 volts* is required WHEN THE
UNIT IS RUNNING to attain peak performance. Most salons
experience a voltage drop of approximately 6 to 7 volts when
the unit is in use. Also factor in the effect of other equipment
running in the salon at the same time. A buck-boost
transformer may be required to provide optimum voltage.
* Export Systems Only – 50 Hz systems must operate
between 220 volts and 225 volts.

VERY IMPORTANT
READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU
BEGIN ASSEMBLY.
Take the time to familiarize yourself
with certain components that make up
the Sun Capsule before you attempt to
assemble the unit.
The following photos concentrate on the
assembly of a Sun Capsule with a dressing
room. The procedures are the same for a
Sun Capsule without a dressing room.
For simplication purposes the Sun
Capsule without a dressing room will be
referred to as a Sun Capsule I. The Sun
Capsule with a dressing room will be
referred to as a Sun Capsule II.
The new modular design Sun Capsule
tanning units have been engineered to be
just about “Murphy proof” if you read the
assembly manual.
The photos concentrate on the assembly of
the shell, and some inherent problems and
solutions that may be encountered during
installation.
You will see that some pictures show
lamp xtures with metal guards and other
pictures show lamp xtures with (optional)
acrylic guards The installation procedures
are the same for both.
The surface that the unit is to be assembled
on will determine the degree of difculty
during assembly. If the surface is basically
at and level, the assembly is usually quite
simple. Unfortunately, some surfaces are
not at and level and shimming of the booth
may be required.
The assembly of the Sun Capsule will
require temporary assistance for certain
procedures. It may seem awkward at rst,
but once you’ve learned the “tricks-of-the
trade”, assembly should be effortless.
The Sun Capsule I has 4 wall panels with
ventilation ports.
The Sun Capsule II has 10 wall panels:
4 wall panels with ventilation ports and 6
solid wall panels. The 4 wall panels with
ventilation ports are designed to aid in the
cooling of the sunlamps. The 6 solid wall
panels are used to create the dressing
room portion of the unit. One of the solid
panels has two pre-drilled holes for
mounting the double coat hook.
Another wall panel has two pre-drilled holes
for the shelf.
Make sure both panels are positioned with
pre-drilled holes closest to the ceiling in
exact location as shown in Fig 1.
One panel has a pre-drilled hole for the
retaining magnet. Make sure panel is
positioned with hole closest to ceiling in
exact location as shown in Fig 1.
The Sun Capsule I has 5 corner pieces:
(1) doublewide corner piece, (2) without
pre-drilled holes (red labels), (2) with
pre-drilled holes for door mounting(green
labels) (Fig 2)
If you are assembling an “Art Deco” or
“Cosmo” (curved wall panels) model, the
red labeled corner pieces can only be
installed one way, as indicated on the label.
The Sun Capsule II has 11 corner pieces
including (2) reverse bend corner pieces
and (1) doublewide corner piece. (Fig 1)
If you are assembling an “Art Deco” or
“Cosmo” (curved wall panels) model, the
blue labeled corner pieces can only be
installed one way, as indicated on the label.
The Sun Capsule II contains two
“reverse bend” corner pieces. These are
used at the mid-points of the booth. Set
these aside until needed (Fig 1).
IMPORTANT: Examine all framework
corner pieces. Two corner pieces have
three (3) pre-drilled holes and have
green identifying labels. These corner
pieces are for mounting the door
assembly. Set these aside and use them
at the front of the booth where the door
opens.
On Sun Capsule II’s, two corner pieces
have red identifying labels. These are to
be used in the tanning area only – their
angle is slightly different than the angle
of those used in the dressing room.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove protective
cardboard from Fast Flow Floor Vent
until booth is completely assembled.
Floor Saver Template – Included with
your system is a 1/8” Masonite template
that closely resembles the shape of your
Sun Capsule. Its purpose is to protect your
carpet or ooring from the effects of the UV
light that lters through the vents in the Fast
Flow Floor.
Place the template, smooth side down,
in the exact spot your Sun Capsule will
occupy once it has been assembled (Fig 5).
For proper cooling of the high performance
tanning lamps (and your customers) your
Sun Capsule must be kept a minimum of 6”
away from any wall or obstruction. Keep in
mind the template is 3 inches smaller all the
way around than the actual size of the Sun
Capsule (Figure 4).
Floor Assembly – Center oor assembly
on Floor Saver Template. (Fig 6). Do not
remove protective cardboard until entire
assembly is completed.

Attaching Wall Panel “Standoffs”
The four vented wall panels have four pre-
drilled mounting holes. Insert 1⁄4” mounting
bolts (Hardware List Item C) through wall
panel and secure with stand off (Hardware
List Item B) as shown in Fig 7 & Fig 8. Make
sure standoffs are installed on interior white
side of panel.
NOTE – Make sure bolt head is on exterior
side of panel. (Fig 8) Do this for all four
vented panels.
Locate doublewide corner piece - make
sure vent hole is closest to oor.
Raise both bottom latches on doublewide
corner piece as shown in Fig 9 and place
the double wide corner piece in the position
indicated in Fig 10. Make sure white corner
piece trim rests behind both catches. (Fig 9)
Close Latches. (Fig 11 & 12)
NOTE: Latch is spring loaded, use caution
when opening or closing latch.
Doublewide corner piece should stand
on its own once it is latched into place.
It is advisable that someone “steadies”
assembly until next panel is installed.
INSERTING WALL PANELS INTO
CORNER PIECES
Insert wall panel at angle as shown in
Fig 13.

18
Pull panel down and into corner piece (Fig
14) pushing wall panel completely into
corner piece at both top and bottom (Fig
15). Pull down on panel to make sure it is
tight against the oor (Fig 14).
Install wall panel on other side of double
wide corner piece (Fig 1 or 2) using above
techniques. (Fig 16)
NOTE: Feel the top edge of corner piece
to make sure wall panel is all the way into
corner piece. (Fig 15)
Install both corner pieces with red
 (Fig 1 or 2) on wall
panels, making sure white corner piece trim
rests behind “catch”. (Fig 17 & 18)
WORKING TIP: Raise latch on corner
piece assembly to “up” position before
installing. Remember, starting the corner
piece at an angle allows for corner piece to
slide on easier (Fig 17). Push corner piece
completely on to wall panel.
Close Latch.
INSTALLATION OF STAND OFFS FOR
FLOURESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES FOR
ILLUMINATION PACKAGE (OPTIONAL)
SUN CAPSULE WITHOUT DRESSING
ROOM ONLY
If you have the Art Deco model (illuminated
curved wall panels), you will need to do the
following before installing the curved wall
panels:
Install stand-offs (hardware package item
“C”) in the two pre-drilled holes in the wall
panels adjacent to the door. Fig 2. Bolt
head must be on the inside of panel and
stand-off must be on the outside of panel.
Install remaining vented wall panels.

19
SUN CAPSULE I ONLY: Install two
remaining corner pieces with pre-drilled
holes for door assembly (green label). Make
sure pre-drilled holes are facing inward
as shown in Fig 25. Proceed to ceiling
installation on page 20.
SUN CAPSULE II ONLY: Install reverse
bend corner pieces and fasten latches. (Fig
19) Refer to Fig 1 for proper location.
Install remaining wall panel in reverse bend
corner piece.
Attach shelf to appropriate wall panel using
hardware item “S”.
Install cornerpieces on both wall panels and
secure bottom latches.
Attach retaining magnet to interior side of
wall panel (Fig 1 for location) with acorn
nuts on exterior of panel (Fig 20). See
Hardware List Item O. Install wall panel with
retaining magnet. (Fig 1)
COAT HOOK: Attach Coat Hook to wall
panel as shown in Fig 21. Install wall panel
with coat hook into next corner piece. (Fig
1)
Insert corner pieces on both wall panels &
secure bottom latches. Be sure not to use
corner pieces with pre-dilled holes. (Fig 22)
Install remaining wall panels. (Fig 23) If you
are installing the “Classic” model (without
curved exterior wall panels), the decorative
wall panels have a “left” and “right” indicator
at the top of each panel (as viewed from the
front).
Install two remaining corner pieces with
pre-drilled holes for door assembly (green
label). Make sure pre-drilled holes are
mounted as shown in Figures 24 & 25.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that all
wall panels are seated completely into
corner pieces & are tight against the oor.
Otherwise ceiling will be impossible to
install.

20
CEILING INSTALLATION:
Place all upper latches in open position
before installing ceiling (Fig 26).
NOTE: It is recommended that persons
5’10” or taller attempt this procedure,
unless shorter people are equipped with
platform shoes.
CAUTION: The ceiling must be handled
by two people, otherwise bodily injury
and/or damage to the ceiling may result.
(Fig 27)
Set the ceiling in place, making sure that
all of the wall panels and corner pieces fall
within the ceiling trim. (Fig 27)
Be careful not to scratch the ceiling.
WORKING TIP: Start by making sure the
wall panels and corner pieces at the back
of the booth fall within the ceiling trim rst.
Then work your way around to the front.
VERY IMPORTANT – Make sure the white
corner piece trim rests behind ceiling
catches. (Fig 28).
It may be necessary to pull down on outside
corners to seat ceiling on wall panels.(Fig
29)
If the apex of the corner piece does not
line up with the apex of the ceiling trim,
(as shown in Fig 30) gently strike corner
piece with the palm of your hand (Fig 31).
If necessary, do this to each corner before
you attempt to secure the latches.
WORKING TIP: If your Sun Capsule is
being assembled on an uneven oor,
you may have gaps between the Sun
Capsule oor and the wall panel or the
ceiling and wall panel. This may make
it difcult to secure the top latches.
Gently rock the shell to get the ceiling
to settle down on the wall panel.
Secure top latches (Figure 32).
WORKING TIP: It may be necessary to
apply a “quick burst of pressure” to the
latch to get it in place over the catch.
To do this, place both thumbs as shown
in Fig 33, and give a fast, rm push to
the latch to get it over the catch. It may
help to have someone pull down on the
outside corner during procedure. (Fig
29)
