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. On 160 Watt and 200 Watt Sun
Capsules remove the grill from inside the booth and carefully wipe down the fan blades (use extreme caution, the edges
of the blade are sharp) and surrounding grillwork. On 220 Watt Sun Capsules, carefully remove the upper fan assembly by
removing 4 screws holding it in place. Be careful not to bend blades when removing or re-installing.
The lamps and guards can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner with a soft furniture duster attachment.
Periodically, the lamps should be removed and wiped clean. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS anywhere in the Sun
Capsule.
ACRYLIC 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.
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:
Setting the Timer – 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. 6
