SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE (Cont'd)
Safe Handling: Read and Follow the installation/operating instructions listed below to help
reduce risk of personal injury and property damage and help prevent early lamp failure:
1) Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off & allow lamp & fixture to cool to
avoid
electrical shock & potential burn hazards.
2) Protect lamp from abrasions & scratches. Do not install or use cracked or broken lamp. If
lamp cracks or breaks in use, disconnect power supply immediately, allow system to cool &
remove lamp.
3) Do not touch lamp with bare hands. If touched with hands, clean lamp with denatured
alcohol and wipe with a lint-free cloth before installing.
4) Replace lamp at or before the end of rated life. Allowing lamp to operate until it fails is not
recommended and may increase the risk of inner arc tube rupture.
5) Use within voltage limits recommended by ballast manufacturer. Do not operate lamp at
higher than specified power.
6) The permissible maximum operating temperatures (e.g., the pinch temperatures, the
tempera-
ture of the bulb wall) as indicated on the product leaflet may not be exceeded.
7) Lamp should be operated within 10 degrees of the horizontal position to insure maximum
operating efficiency.
