This will provide you safety, insure proper operational functions and provide
continuation of your warranty.
Before removing the old tubes or installing new tubes, always unplug
your Studio Max and discharge the stored energy by switching the
POWER switch to OFF. Wait approximately two hours for the main
capacitors to deplete any residual stored wattage. If the Studio Max does
not flash when turned OFF (flash tube may be defective), the unit must
remain OFF for four hours to discharge the main capacitors. Never place
your fingers or any metal objects into the flash or modeling sockets.
Contact with high voltage may result.
