Cleaning the reflector
To quickly clean the reflector, remove the lens tube and clean the dust from the reflector with a blast
of oil-free air. You may also wipe the reflector with a clean lint-free cloth. If either method is not
sufficient, follow these steps.
Step 1:
To protect the lamp housing during cleaning, remove the lamp housing by loosening the
knurled bolt and pulling the housing straight out. See
Figure 3
.
Step 2:
Remove the barrel rotation knob located at the bottom of the barrel (see
). Use
a Phillips screwdriver to remove the retainer bolt located on top of the reflector housing.
Step 3:
Rotate the barrel 45° in either direction. Carefully remove the barrel from the reflector
housing.
Step 4:
Remove dust with a blast of oil-free air or wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. Isopropyl
alcohol, distilled water or a 50%-50% mixture of each can be used to clean the glass
surface.
Step 5:
Insert the barrel into the reflector housing with the iris/gobo slot on top. Align the triangles
on both parts.
Step 6:
While gently pressing in, rotate the barrel 45° clockwise until it sets into position, then
rotate the barrel counterclockwise 45°. The barrel should be firmly attached and the
triangles should be aligned.
Step 7:
Reinstall the barrel rotation knob and tighten the retainer bolt.
