Replacing the Lamp
5
Remove the valve cap (1), then
turn the gas releasing valve
clockwise, using a Philips
screwdriver (2).
Turn the gas releasing valve clockwise
until a hissing sound comes out from the
valve.
After this hissing sound stops, go to the
next step.
Xenon gas is encapsulated under high
pressure inside of the lamp. This xenon
gas is odorless and harmless. However,
if you drop the lamp or strike it without
releasing gas, the lamp may burst. This
may result in an injury.
6
Loosen the four screws on the
lamp unit with a Philips
screwdriver.
7
Hold the lamp unit with your hand,
and then, pushing the lamp
release lever toward the arrow
direction (toward the right), pull
the lamp unit straight out.
Hold the lamp unit tightly so that you do
not drop it, because it is heavy (approx.
2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz)). Dropping the lamp may
result in an injury or a breakdown of the
projector.
