S TEP 1.) Ensure that the Ringflash Pro is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply and wait for thirty minutes to allow to cool
down before touching / removing the flashtube.
S TEP 2.) Before removing the flashtube assembly from the Ringflash Pro first remove the front protective glass cover (before removing
check the glass has cooled sufficiently to touch). Once the glass cover has been removed take out the two modelling lamps
next to the trigger wire tab and then unwind the trigger wire from the tab as shown in fig. 7. It is recommended to remove the two
modelling lamps next to the trigger wire tab to allow more room to when unwinding the trigger wire and so not to damage the
lamps.
S TEP 3.) To remove the flashtube assembly hold gently on both sides and pull away evenly from the Ringflash Pro as shown in fig. 8. To
replace the flashtube assembly, simply place all four support legs into the correct fittings and gently push back in ensuring all four
legs are placed back in evenly and secured by fully inserting into the flashtube leg connections.
N.B. Always replace with the correct flashtube assembly.

S TEP 1.) Ensure that the Ringflash Pro is switched off and disconnected from the mains supply and wait for thirty minutes to allow to cool
down before touching / removing the modelling lamps.
S TEP 2.) Before removing any modelling lamps from the Ringflash Pro first remove the front protective glass (before removing check the
glass has cooled sufficiently to touch). To remove the modelling lamps grip gently between fingers (always ensure that you do not
touch the modelling bulbs directly with your fingers, use a cloth or a tissue (as shown in fig.9.), this is because the residue from
your fingers can shorten the life span of the bulb) and pull away slowly from the Ringflash Pro. To replace the modelling lamps
simply align the two legs of the lamp with the correct fittings and gently push in ensuring that the lamp legs are fully inserted.
