APPENDIX  
Maintenance  
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage  
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should  
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause  
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off  
fixture before conducting maintenance.  
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust  
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a  
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply  
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical  
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. Do not to touch the lamp glass when cleaning fixture. Oil  
and dirt can cause damage and premature aging of the lamp. In the event that the lamp is touched or  
becomes dirty, clean the lamps with an alcohol wipe.  
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to  
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:  
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s  
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean  
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.  
Returns Procedure  
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.  
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RA #). Products  
returned without an RA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RA # prior to shipping the  
fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause  
for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from inadequate  
packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own discretion to  
repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe  
method to use.

reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and
