5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. When you replace a lamp, you should replace the filters as well.

For lamp or filter replacement, please contact your nearest Runco authorized service center or Runco dealer. Do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself!

WARNING

The VX-22i lamp is under high pressure. Handle it with great care at

all times. Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled.

Never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or dispose of the lamp casing in any manner other than by returning it to your Runco dealer.

If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for at least 30 minutes. Ventilate the room to allow the mercury vapor to disperse.

If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately.
