SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2
To create a safe working environment and safety of the user, the instructions given hereunder must be
strictly adhered to :
ATTENTION : In order to prevent personal injury or damage to the searchlight, when unpacking or
manoeuvring the unit into its final position, suitable lifting points must be used.
!
Prevent rain, snow, condensation and water droplets from contacting the lamp as this may
cause bulb failure and possible shattering.
!
Quartz halogen bulbs run with a high pressure in excess of atmospheric.
Whilst the construction is inherently strong, there is a slight risk of the bulb shattering.
!
Never look directly into an illuminated searchlight as this may cause severe damage to eyesight. If it is
necessary to inspect a lamp whilst in operation, always wear suitable protective goggles.
!
Should it be necessary to examine the lamp with the front bezel removed, always use a protective shield
and wear goggles to ensure a safe working environment.
!
Searchlights get very hot. Never touch the unit when lit. Always allow it to cool down for 15 to 20
minutes after it has been switched off.
!
Never place anything on or cover the searchlight when in use.
!
Ensure the lamp has cooled sufficiently before removal.
!
If excessive force appears to be n
ecessary to remove the lamp, the equipment should be inspected by a
competent person or contact the manufacturer
!
When breaking a lamp for disposal, care must be taken to ensure the glass fragments are safely
contained. This operation must be performed out of doors in free air. In all circumstances refer to the
lamp manufacturer instructions packed with the lamp.
!
Due to the vast range of lamps available it may appear possible that more powerful lamps can be used
in the equipment than it was designed for. Even when the unit physically accept a higher wattage or
voltage lamp, this substitution is not recommended and it is dangerous. This action will also void any
warranties on the equipment.
Always refer to the lamp manufacturers technical data when dealin
g with lamps.
