Safety Notes

DO NOT:

•Use the TurboPak in an environment where moisture or flammable vapour is likely to come in contact with the unit.

•Restrict air vents while in use.

•Use a unit with damaged housing, mouldings, sockets etc. If the unit is dropped or damaged in anyway always have it checked out before using.

•Charge the Battery Cassette in an air tight container.

•Open the casing or modify the operation of any Bowens units.

•Connect an external mains supply to any Gemini that is also connected to the Turbo-Pak. (this may cause a circuit breaker to trip or a fuse to blow to protect the user).

•The Battery Cassette is protected by two 40A automotive blade type fuses for the main

power and one 5A fuse for the charger. NEVER change the fuses for a different type or rating. In the event that one or more fuses have blown it is likely that a genuine fault has occurred and the

unit and/or Battery Cassette will need repair by an authorised Service Centre.

DO:

•Read Instructions before use.

•Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over. Protect from heavy, sharp or hot objects, which may cause damage and replace damaged cables immediately.

•Always send any damaged/faulty Bowens products to an authorised Service/Repair Centre.

•Remove the power cord by gripping the plug. NEVER pull the cord.

•Only use Bowens approved equipment with this unit.

•Always switch the Turbo-Pak OFF before connecting or disconnecting ANY cables.

•When moving the unit from extremes of temperature and humidity, allow at least one hour for the unit to stabilise at room temperature before use.
