Mount on a stand
(1) Select a stand or support
system of suitable weight
and dimensions to ensure
stable operation of the unit.
Install Reector &
Modeling Lamp
(2) Remove the protective
cap by pressing in and
turning it counter-
clockwise. Pull the cap off
and set aside.
(3) Install the modeling
lamp by screwing it into the
threaded socket.
CAUTION: Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Oil residue from your ngers can
cause the surface of the lamp to heat unevenly and explode. Use white cotton gloves or a
clean cloth.
(4) Install the reector where the protective cap was before. Align the two notches on
the reector with the white guidelines on the ash unit, press the reector in and rotate
clockwise until it locks in place. Rotate the outer ring to secure the reector.
Note: Take care when tting or removing reectors or softboxes to not damage the
ashtube assembly. The ashtube is very delicate. Always switch off the unit and
disconnect the power before tting or changing lamps, ashtubes, reectors, or softboxes.
