Installing a New Lamp
IMPORTANT: BEFORE OPENING THE BOX CONTAINING THE
XENON BULB, NOTE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS: The Xenon bulb contains gas under pressure. Care should be taken in
handling the bulb to avoid injury.
Wear protective clothing such as gloves,
Handle the bulb only by the ends. Natural skin oils from hands may damage the quartz envelope.
Always allow the bulb to cool before handling.
When necessary, clean the bulb with ordinary rubbing alcohol (only when the bulb is cool).
Place the bulb on a soft, secure surface away from table edges.
Never operate the bulb with the lamp cover off. Do not permit light from the bulb to fall directly on skin or clothing. The Light from the Xenon bulb is rich in ultraviolet rays similar to direct sun rays. This could burn the skin and bleach clothing. Do not look at the bulb directly while it is on. The light emerging from the projector lens is safe as long as common sense is exercised.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of the Xenon lamp, please call Navitar at
4.Gently lift off the lamp house top cover. Unhook the white connector and place the cover on the table, out of your way.

Loosen and remove the lens cap which attaches the negative terminal of the lamp to the mirror holder. Take out the old lamp while holding the end cap.
6.Your Navitar Xenon 560 or 750 watt slide projector has been pre- aligned at the factory to be compatible with the enclosed bulb. For optimum illumination and ease of installation, please install as follows. If you look at the Xenon bulb itself, you will see that there is a pointed section of the bulb near the center of the quartz enve- lope. Please be careful to install the bulb so that this point is facing upwards at 12 o’clock. If the point is placed at any other spot, itwill take you longer to properly align your bulb. Remove the bulb from the box by firmly holding the positive wire end post of the bulb.
