of the projector
Follow the simple procedures described on this
page and page10 to keep your projector in top
operating condition. With proper care, it will
give you a lifetime of trouble-free service.
Replacing the Projection Lamp
First unplug the power cord. Then swing open
the lamp house cover and remove
the lamp
house. This is done by depressing the lamp
house release spring and pulling the housing
outward. Then pull the lamp straight up (with-
out turning it) to remove it from its socket.
When inserting the new lamp (type DCA) first
line up the four pins of the lamp base with the
four holes in the lamp socket. You will position
the lamp correctly by placing it in the socket
with the built-in reflector facing forward,toward
the projection lens. When
inserting the lamp,
don't use too much pressure
— just enough to
seat it properly.
Lubrication
The only part of the pro-
jector which should be
lubricated after long use
is the motor, which
is
located behind the rear
cover. Before removing
the rear cover be sure to
unplug the power cord.
The motor
should
be
lubricated by inserting
o
the tip of an oil can
couat into the two plaade tubes above the
bearings. Three or four drops of a good grade
projector or sewing machine oil are sufficient.
Cleaning
The film gate, which is in continuous contact
with the film, is precisely machined to prevent
damage to the film. When film dust or other
matter adheres to the gate, it may scratch the
film or damage it in other ways. From time to
time, therefore—especially after heavy use—you
should clean the film gate and surrounding area
