Refer to: Operator’s Manual for complete instructions on operating the light. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Perform an operational test on the dental light after repair is completed to confirm repair was properly made and that all malfunctions were repaired.
Removal
The bulb and surrounding components may be HOT! Allow the bulb to cool for at least five minutes before removing the light shield. Never operate the light with light shield removed. Failure to do so may result in burns to the hands. Also, move the light head away from the patient before attempting this procedure. Failure to do so could result in burns to, or contamination of the patient.
1.Turn lighthead off and allow bulb (1) to cool for at least 5 minutes.
2.Rotate two release levers (2) up 1/4 turn (one located on each side of lighthead) and then remove plastic shield (3) from lighthead (4).
3.Remove bulb (1) by pulling bulb straight out of lamp socket (5). Discard used bulb.
Installation
Install new bulb without removing its protective plastic cover. Do not touch bulb with bare hands; these bulbs are sensitive to body oils, which can create hot spots on the bulb glass, reducing the bulb life. If glass portion of bulb is accidentally handled, wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with denatured alcohol and pat dry.
1.Using protective plastic cover that bulb is packaged in, align contact pins of new bulb with socket holes and press bulb in firmly. When bulb is firmly seated, there will be approximately a 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) gap between base of bulb and bulb socket.
Never operate light with plastic shield removed. The clear shield protects patient and doctor in case of bulb explosion. Failure to have plastic shield installed could result in injury to patient and doctor.
2.Position plastic shield (3) on lighthead. Secure plastic shield in place by rotating two release levers (2) down 1/4 turn.
