MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the machine
Always disconnect the main power from the unit before attempting to clean or repair it.
Dust the lamps with a dry cloth - do not use cleaning fluid or alcohol. The acrylics should
be taken out at least once every week of operation and cleaned thoroughly with a non-
alcoholic disinfectant glass or surface cleaner. If alcohol is used, the acrylic may fade,
crack, or break altogether. Failure to use anything other than an approved cleaning
material on the acrylic will result in poor UV-transmission, and could eventually cause
injury to the person using the machine. Use a vacuum cleaner with a dust nozzle to clean
around the ballast racks and throughout the interior portions of the base, top deck, and
bench.
Longevity of the acrylic sheets
The acrylic sheets used in this machine should be changed between 1200 and 1500 hours
of operation. If not, UV-transmission could be greatly reduced.
ProSun

recommends the use of Lucasol or Solacryl when cleaning acrylic sheets
Longevity of the lamps
Most lamps will display up to 120% of rated output during the first 50 hours of
illumination. As such, exposure schedules should be reduced by 20%, or sunburning may
occur. After the initial 50 hours, the lamps will run at 100% of their rated output and
gradually go down from there, until about 800 hours, whereupon the lamps should be
replaced.
• IMPORTANT: When replacing or cleaning Facial Lamps, both facial lenses and
bulbs should be cleaned with alcohol, being free of smudges and finger prints
Please note:
