Maintenance
Lens Removal
Remove the 4 mounting screws and lift off the lens.
Lamp Replacement
H-1 55 WATT LAMP
First grasp lamp at base and turn until retaining clip is accessible. Using a blade screwdriver, remove retaining
clip and pull lamp straight up. Replace with new lamp. Insure that the power lead and retaining clip is fully
inserted.
NOTE: Do not touch new lamp with your bare fingers, as this will damage the lamp and shorten its life. If
touched accidentally, it should be gently wiped off with alcohol and a soft cloth.
Reflector Removal
H-1 55 WATT REFLECTOR
Remove lamp as described above and lift off the reflector assembly.
Motor Replacement
Remove reflector as described above. Remove the two motorplate mounting screws. Cut lamp wire and lift
out motor, socket and shaft assembly. Install new assembly and solder the wires to their original location.
Test unit before replacing the lens.
General
Do not oil or grease this unit. Doing so voids the product warranty. It is constructed with permanently
lubricated bearings and plastic gears which do not need lubrication. Keep the unit clean by disassembling it
and cleaning bearing surfaces with mineral spirits (turpentine), and clear any debris out of the drive gears.
Clean lens and base with soap and water, using soft cloth or paper towel. In severe climates excessive
condensation may occur - if so, drill open the two remaining auxiliary ventilation holes.
