afety Information
s
LABELING NOTICE: Labels are affixed on all systems to inform the user of possible dangers. Regulations are stated in
21 CFR, Section 1040.20, and require that all products manufactured after September 8, 1986 which use sunlamps
must display the following:
Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with natural sunlight, over-expo-
sure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause pre-
mature aging of the skin and skin cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS
OR LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES.
Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultra-violet radiation. Consult physician before using
sunlamp if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to
sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product.
Minimum use distance from face tanner is 1 inch or 2.54 centimeters. Minimum use distance elsewhere is touching
the clear plastic panels. Do not use without clear plastic panels (or wire grid for models using wire grid) in place.
Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or
twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Frequency of sessions should be limited to every other day.
Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
New lamps emit approximately 20% more UV during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning times
should therefore be reduced by approximately 20% during that period.
WARNING:
• Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product. • To use, lie down under canopy
and pull down as far as adjustment will allow. All persons in the room should wear protective eyewear when lamps
are on.
• Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields (Lucas Products Super Sunnies or Intrexco No. 5635/1) or
equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Other types of eyewear may not provide adequate protec-
tion.
• Disconnect power cord before attempting to clean, relamp, or engage in the maintenance of this product.

Unpacking and Inspection
Your sunbed comes in two cardboard cartons, one for the bench and one for the
canopy or top deck. Open the cartons and remove the bench and canopy as follows.
The bench and canopy are each wrapped in plastic. With a helper, grasp the bench
and pull it from the carton bottom, leaving the plastic wrap and the carton
packaging. Do the same for the canopy.
Note! The cartons are reusable, in the unlikely event that you may find it necessary
to return your sunbed.
The canopy box contains the canopy unit and a pair of gas springs. The bench box
contains the following items:
• Bench Unit
• Front and side skirts with mounting screws
• Box containing necessary assembly hardware, remote bypass, safety
goggles, and pillow
• Box containing two leg stands
• Assembly and User Guide
Inspect these items, including the canopy and bench, and make sure they are free
from any visible damage. Report the extent of any damage to the transportation
company.
Record the serial numbers of the canopy and bench in the area provided on the
back page of this manual. This information will be required whenever you call cus-
tomer service.

Pre-Installation Planning
Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following pre-
installation considerations.
Installation-Pre-Installation Planning
• Your sunbed operates from a 220V ac source. You should have an
electrical outlet (like the type shown below) installed in the room in
which you will use the unit. The outlet should be on a dedicated circuit.
(We recommend installation by a professional electrician.) The outlet
must be earth grounded.
20 AMP NEMA #6-20R RECEPTACLE 30 AMP NEMA #L6-30R RECEPTACLE
REQUIRED FOR 24S SERIES REQUIRED FOR 28LX SERIES
• Make sure the room in which you intend to use your sunbed is well
ventilated. Air from the room is used to cool the sunbed, and a poorly
ventilated room may cause the unit to become hot and cause discomfort
to the user.
• Your sunbed is designed to operate in an ambient room temperature of
80°F maximum and 70% relative humidity.
• Place your sunbed no closer than 6" from any wall. Make sure that cur-
tains, drapes, and other room furniture do not obstruct the airflow into
the end caps or out of the fan opening areas.
• Proper assembly of your sunbed requires three people. Plan to have a
couple of helpers assist you.
IMPORTANT!
Use of a voltage
source above 230
VAC may prevent
proper operation
of the sunbed
and could cause
damage and void
the warranty.

Before You Tan
Before using your sunbed, please note the following important precautions:
• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body lotions
prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use with tanning
devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by bathing or
showering immediately before tanning.
• Your hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products
prior to tanning. These products can cause damage to the sunbed acrylic.
As an alternative, a shower cap or towel can be worn to keep treated hair
away from the sunbed surfaces.
• Some medication may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet light. It is
recommended that you consult a physician before using this sunbed if
taking any medication or if you suspect that your skin might be especially
sensitive to sunlight. Included with this manual is an FDA booklet on
medications that increase sensitivity to light.
• As with all electrical appliances, do not operate this device near water
or while you are wet.
Exposure Times
We recommend that you tan every other day, following the tanning times in the
exposure schedule. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maxi-
mizes after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to
maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced
levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the table below.

Operation-Using Your Sunbed
Using Your Sunbed
Once you have read Before You Tan and Exposure Times, you are ready to use your
sunbed. Proceed as follows.
WARNING! Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Only one pair of protective
goggles is provided. Always wear these or another approved pair of goggles. Regular
sunglasses do not provide adequate protection from ultra-violet light. You should
never look at the lamps when turned on without wearing the appropriate protective
goggles.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Step 4.
For units equipped with a face tanner, activate the face tanner by plac-
ing the rocker switch located next to the timer knob into the
“ I”(ON)
position. If you do not wish to use the face tanner, leave the switch in
the “O”(OFF) position.
Note! The F model face tanner lamps need a longer after-use cooling
period before they will light up again.
Set the timer to the desired number of minutes (after first determining
the proper time period from the table on page 11). The lamps will turn
on as soon as you move the rotary dial from the “0”position.
Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench (face up), and lower the canopy
toward your body. For best results, position the canopy as close as pos-
sible to your body, but do not bring the canopy any closer than 1
inch from your body.
When the timer reaches 0, the lamps will automatically turn off. The
cooling fans run for 3-5 minutes after the lamps shut off to aid in cool-
ing the sunbed.
Note! Customers using a remote system with this product
will find that if the remote timer is set for less time than the
bed timer the cool down time will be the tanning time
remaining on the bed timer plus the normal cool down.
Example: The remote timer is set at 15 minutes and the
bed timer is set at 18 minutes. The lamps will shut off at
15 minutes. The fans will run for the remaining 3 minutes
and then continue to run during the cool down cycle.

are & Maintenance
C
Cleaning After Use
Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each use. Use a non-abra-
sive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain ammonia or ammonia derivatives.
Ammonia may damage the acrylic shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. We recommend SunQuest disinfectant and SunQuest
acrylic cleaner.
Thorough Periodic Cleaning
Introduction
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and over time will cause a dust buildup on the
lamps and reflectors. This will reduce the tanning effectiveness of the bed. When a dust
buildup is observed, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and
canopy. Warning! Disconnect sunbed from electrical power before cleaning.
Cleaning the Canopy and Bench
Step 1. Remove the acrylic shields and lamps as described on page 14.
Step 2. With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp to
remove any film build-up.
Step 3. Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia
disinfectant cleaner.
Step 4. Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
Step 5. Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields as described on pages 14-16.
Mechanical Inspection
Your tanning bed has been built for years of service. To ensure trouble free operation
throughout its life, inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.
• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place. Pay particular attention
to the hinge bolts.
• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Gas springs that will not hold up the canopy in the
full open position should be immediately replaced.
• Inspect the timer as indicated in this manual under Timer Maintenance.
• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
• Inspect the acrylic. Broken, cracked or badly scratched acrylics should be immediately
replaced.

14
Care & Maintenance-Replacing Lamps
Replacing Lamps
Introduction
Your tanning bench has an hour meter which keeps track of how many hours the
sunbed has been in operation. Use this meter to determine when your tanning lamps
should be replaced. To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps
after approximately 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this time but
at a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of your sunbed, replace the lamp
starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
Warning! Disconnect sunbed from electrical power before servicing.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields
The acrylic shields in the canopy and bench are both secured in place by vinyl
retainer strips which run the length of the canopy and bench, both front and back.
To remove the retainers, gently pry up on the outside edge of the retainer near the
middle of the bed with a screwdriver until the retainer releases its latching action
(See figure below). Continue prying up the retainer throughout its full length until
removed. Repeat for the other retainer. The long edges of the acrylic shield are
now exposed.
Canopy Shield
Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp the long exposed edge of the
acrylic and carefully begin sliding it toward you, until it is removed
from the sunbed.
Bench Shield
Slide the acrylic shield toward the head or foot end of the bed.
The short edge of the acrylic shield at the opposite end should
now be visible. Remove the shield by lifting from this end.
After changing lamps, replace the acrylic shield by reversing the above steps.
On bench shields, take special care to ensure that the acrylic is centered
from head to foot before installing the retaining strips. Replace each retainer
by first installing its ends into place under the endcaps, then working
toward the center, push it into place. Screwdriver
Vinyl Retainer
Acrylic Shield

Removing/Replacing Lamps
After removing the acrylic shield, replace lamps as follows:
Step 1. Grasp the lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the
lamp a quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed
from its holder.
Step 2. To re-install a lamp, insert the pins located on the ends of the
lamp into the slots on top of the lamp holder and turn the
lamp a quarter turn.
Recommended Replacement Lamps
Do not use lamps other than those specified below. Using uncertified lamps is a
violation of Federal regulations and will void your warranty. These lamps have an
average life of 800-1000 hours of effective tanning use. Lamps used longer than that
begin to lose their effectiveness even though they will continue to light.

Care & Maintenance-Replacing Lamps
Removing/Replacing Face Tanner Lamp on F Models
After removing the canopy acrylic shield, replace the face tanner lamp as follows:
Step 1. Support the face tanner assembly with your hand while
unscrewing the two retaining screws. The face tanner glass
casing will now swing downward.
Step 2. The lamp can now be exchanged. The lamp holders are
equipped with spring contacts which enables the lamp to be
removed easily. Remove the old lamp and discard. Install the
new lamp, using a clean cloth or paper towel. Ensure that the
lamp is firmly seated in the lamp holders.
Note! Never take hold of the lamp such that your fingers are in
contact with the lamp glass. Finger oils will greatly reduce the
lamp’s operational life.
Step 3. Gently close the face tanner glass casing and lock it closed with
the screws. Ensure that the screws firmly secures the glass casing.
Warning! Never turn the equipment on while the face tanner is disassembled or
when the glass filters have been removed. The direct light can cause severe injury to
the eyes and to other areas of the body. Immediately discontinue use of this
equipment if the face tanner glass is broken or if any unfiltered light can be seen
escaping the face tanner assembly.
