Greetings from Sunco!
Welcome to a wet, rainy day here
in Northeast Tennessee. Although it's dreary here, we hope your day is bright
and sunny as we continue our trek through the busy season in the tanning
industry.
User Manuals Now Available for
Download
Today we added something many of you have been asking for - Downloadable User
Manuals! A few have yet to be available but most tanning bed pages have a
link at the bottom which will allow you to download the user manual for that
tanning bed. You may also click here
for the entire list of all manuals we currently have available.
Tanning Bed Maintenance
While we're on the subject of user manuals, let's take a minute to look at
something you will find in your user manual - maintenance information. But
what's to know, right? There are few moving parts and unless something breaks,
there's not much to do. Please consider the following:
Cleaning After Use
You should clean and disinfect your tanning bed's bench and canopy after
each use. (Don't forget the floors of tanning booths.) But you should be sure to
use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain ammonia or
ammonia derivatives. Ammonia can damage the acrylic (the clear Plexiglas
type shield you lay on as well as the one in the canopy.) Spray the acrylic
lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Sunco recommends
Australian Gold's pH Neutral Disinfectant Cleaner -

If you have a used tanning bed with acrylics that have become hazy or lot of
scratches, you might consider Novus Acrylic Polish before replacing the
acrylics. Novus Acrylic Polish comes in 3 grades: #1 gently cleans and shines,
#2 removes fine scratches and haziness, and #3 removes heavy scratches. You can
also find these on our
Accessories Page. Please note that this polish is not for everyday use.
Frequent polishing can actually shorten the life of the acrylics.
Thorough Periodic Cleaning
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust buildup on the
lamps and reflectors over time. When a dust buildup is observed, it is necessary
to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and canopy.
1. Remove the acrylic shields and lamps
2. With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.
3. Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia disinfectant
cleaner.
4. Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth
5. Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields.
Mechanical Inspection
Inspect the unit's mechanical integrity every 400 - 500 hours of use.
1. Inspect the unit's fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place. Pay
particular attention to hinge bolts.
2. Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Replace gas springs that will no
longer hold the canopy in the full open position when raised.
3. Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
4. Inspect the acrylic. Replace if broken, cracked or badly scratched.
Replacing Lamps
To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after approximately
800 - 1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this time but at a slower
rate.
(Note: Wolff X-Power
Lamps last up to 1200 hours.) To ensure trouble free operation of your
tanning bed, replace the lamp starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
Well that's it for now kids!
