Product Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the Ilumipod
Inground IP products frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in
determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the products at least twice
a month. Dust and grime build up on the glass surface reduces light output performance.
To clean an Ilumipod Inground IP product, follow the below recommendations:
1. Disconnect the power to the product.
2. Wait until the product is cold.
3. Loosen the Allen bolts on the stainless steel collar by turning them CCW, not more
than a turn or two, enough to release the aluminum latch from its “locked” position.
4. Pull the product out of the installation sleeve, making sure that you are not pulling the
signal or AC power cables.
5. Use a wet vacuum cleaner to remove any liquid inside the installation sleeve and
around the product’s housing.
6. Inspect the cables and the gland nuts for signs of deterioration.
7. Clean or unclog the water drainage.
8. Replace the product in the installation sleeve.
9. Reattach the product to the installation sleeve by turning the Allen bolts CW. You
should only need a turn or two to have the stainless steel collar firmly attached.
10. Clean the glass surface with a mild solution of glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, and a
soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue to remove grease or grime.
11. Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the
outside of the lens.
12. Gently polish the external glass surface until it is free of haze and lint.
