Loosen the large wing nut on the top of the ball joint to allow movement of the projector, pull the projector towards you to allow access to the vent, and then tighten the wing nut. Place the air tube guide into the vent so that it’s flush and can’t move laterally. Insert the air tube into the air tube guide. Place the air bellows bulb over the air tube. Squeeze the bulb 20 times. Remove the air bellows bulb, the air tube and the air tube guide. TIP You can use a lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the projector as required. If necessary, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the projector housing. Avoid touching the lens. Loosen the large wing nut on the top of the ball joint, slide the projector back into its previous position, and then tighten the wing nut. Cleaning the lens CAUTION Do not apply pressure to the lens because you can easily scratch it. Do not use compressed air to blow off dust. Never touch the lens with your bare hands or a brush. Use an air bellows bulb (commonly found in audio-visual supply stores and in SMART’s projector cleaning kit) to blow off dust. If wiping the lens is unavoidable, wear protective gloves and dip a lint-free cloth (such as Purestat PW2004) in an anti-static solvent (such as Hyperclean EE-6310). Gather part of the cleaning cloth into a soft ball and hold the ball with your fingers. Gently brush the remaining cleaning cloth across the lens from the center to the edge, like you would a feather duster, without applying any pressure to the lens.
