PREPARATION AND BASICS
Unpacking and Setup:
Unpack all units carefully to remove all parts from the carton(s). Do not discard or destroy the packing material until the equipment has been inspected, assembled, and all parts accounted for.
After unpacking, all parts should be examined for any damage, which may have been caused by rough handling during shipment. If any damage is detected, contact the delivering carrier at once. Claim for damage should be made to the delivering carrier before destroying packing cartons.
Unpacking and Setup:
The unit is shipped with the modeling lamps and flashtubes not installed. While installing the modeling lamps and flashtubes (with glove or clean cloth to protect the hand) be sure they are properly inserted and tight to avoid arcing and failure of the socket contacts during operation. Always use a clean cloth or wear gloves to protect your hand from glass breakage and heat. Place the unit on a stable flat surface, face up.
The diffusion panel is held in place with an “L” bracket and thumbscrews. Remove the thumbscrews and “L” bracket. Slide out the diffuser panel. The paper protective sheet must be peeled off the diffusion panel. Use finger nails to start peeling at two corners and continue carefully peeling protective sheet until it is all removed. Do not use razor blade or other mechanical scrapers.
The fluorescent lamps have no polarity. Remove any plastic film from reflector. Install by inserting the glass body into the clear support bracket, and then insert the pins into the top of the socket holes and press base down to snap pins into contacts.
