NATIONAL
TATTOO DEMONSTRATION VIDEO FOR CHANGING A BULB ON THE OLDER STANDARD AND 3M
THERMAL COPIERS.
STEP
ONE: Follow the belt changing instructions. Release your spring latches,
release your locking rollers, take your kick stand down, pull your belt out to
the left.
NEXT
STEP: If you notice your front roller and your reflector on the left side the
pin goes through the frame rail, so you need to pull slightly up from the right
and work it out of the frame. Follow your left hand lamp lead, disconnect from
thermostat. Now you can put your reflector up on the ledge. Disconnect your
right hand lead, next step quarter inch, there is two quarter inch bolts on
each side, need to unscrew them, try not to put pressure on the block you can
crack your ceramics on the end of the bulbs. Also take note the location of the
crescent bulb assembly rail, your pin should be on the top when you reassemble
also. Once you have your four bolts out, you can take the whole assembly move
it to a flatter surface, you will notice a cover on each end that helps to lock
in and protect the ceramic end of your bulb. Underneath that is two aluminum blocks
with the slot on the bottom that directs your lamp leads, once those are out
simply remove your bulb
If
you purchased your bulb from us, they will come bubble wrapped, I still highly
recommend wearing gloves just because of contaminants. I highly recommend
wiping it down with a good alcohol, dries quickly, this is just added
protection so you don’t burn a hot spot into your bulb. Once you wiped it, if you notice closely on
the left hand lead it is larger than the right hand lead, that needs to go to
the left. Lay your bulb in, I usually lift the reflector put your locks back in
place, you have to kind of be careful until you get it locked back down. I have
both blocks in my wires coming out the bottom. I will slide these back on.
Now
you are ready to put reflectors assembly back in, once again make sure your
pins that lock it down into the frame are on the top or your assembly will be
reversed. Same with the right hand side
make sure locking pin is to the top. There is only one spot on reflector where
you can put your bolts into. Now I have all four started, I am going to tighten
them all down. Also important thing to be careful screwing into your reflector,
do not cross your thread, they are only aluminum. Now I have the reflector back
in sturdy. First step connect your left
hand lamp lead to your thermostat, follow your right hand lead that your bulb
is connected again, reassemble start with the left side you need to lock the
pin back into the frame rail, the right side just lays in, just keep your
assembly loose, with your bulb back in, make sure it clears the transformer
underneath. Lock the whole assembly back in once again, red handle , spring
latches, now she’s completely back together and should be ready to make a copy.
You will need to readjust your speed for you copy being it’s a new bulb and
that is it for changing a bulb.
