Safety Notes
DO NOT:
• Use the TurboPak in an environment where moisture or flammable vapour is likely to come in
contact with the unit.
• Restrict air vents while in use.
• Use a unit with damaged housing, mouldings, sockets etc. If the unit is dropped or damaged in
anyway always have it checked out before using.
• Charge the Battery Cassette in an air tight container.
• Open the casing or modify the operation of any Bowens units.
• Connect an external mains supply to any Gemini that is also connected to the Turbo-Pak. (this
may cause a circuit breaker to trip or a fuse to blow to protect the user).
• The Battery Cassette is protected by two 40A automotive blade type fuses for the main
power and one 5A fuse for the charger. NEVER change the fuses for a different type or rating. In
the event that one or more fuses have blown it is likely that a genuine fault has occurred and the
unit and/or Battery Cassette will need repair by an authorised Service Centre.
DO:
• Read Instructions before use.
• Avoid placing cables where they can be tripped over. Protect from heavy, sharp or hot objects,
which may cause damage and replace damaged cables immediately.
• Always send any damaged/faulty Bowens products to an authorised Service/Repair Centre.
• Remove the power cord by gripping the plug. NEVER pull the cord.
• Only use Bowens approved equipment with this unit.
• Always switch the Turbo-Pak OFF before connecting or disconnecting ANY cables.
• When moving the unit from extremes of temperature and humidity, allow at least one hour for the
unit to stabilise at room temperature before use.
