housing. Hand tighten securely.
REFRACTOR INSTALLATION
1. Install refractor on luminaire by placing over lamp and hand
tighten onto ballast housing.
2. Follow the instruction furnished with refractor for complete
installation and adjustment information.
3. R and PR type refractors are not marine suitable.

MAINTENANCE
• Perform visual, electrical, and mechanical inspections on a
regular basis. The environment and frequency of use should
determine this. However, it is recommended that checks be
made at least once a year.
Preventive Maintenance Program as described in the National
Fire
Protection
Recommended Practice For Electrical Equipment Maintenance

• The globe/refractor (and guard and reflector when used) should
be
cleaned
performance. To clean, wipe the reflector, then the globe with a
clean damp cloth. If this is not sufficient, use a mild soap or a
liquid cleaner such as Collinite NCF or Duco #7. Do not use an
abrasive, strong alkaline, or acid cleaner. Damage may result.
• Visually check for undue heating evidenced by discoloration of
wires or other components, damaged parts, or leakage
evidenced by water or corrosion in the interior. Replace all
worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components and clean
gasket seals before putting the luminaire back into service.
• Electrically check to make sure that all connections are clean
and tight.
• Mechanically check that all parts are properly assembled.
