Our last post dealt with storing your inflatable screen for the winter. If you have an outdoor movie package purchased from us at Outdoor Movies or elsewhere, you will want to take a good look at your projector and store it carefully. First and most importantly, locate the air intake and look for the air filter. During outdoor use, the projector's filter protects the internal components from dirt and dust. If the filter is dirty, it restricts airflow. Restricted airflow causes decreased bulb life, overheating and reduced performance. So remove the filter. Most are made from foam rubber and easily cleaned with water and then dried. Some need to be replaced. Either way, this is an important preventative maintenance step. Additionally, dust that is apparent to the eye should be removed using a clean dry cloth.
Lens cleaning - if you have a lens cleaning kit that includes: lens paper, a camel hair brush and lens cleaning solution, terrific. If not, one can be obtained from a reputable camera store (or from us). Use solutions sparingly using with light pressure and a circular motion to remove dust and fingerprints. If you have lost the lens cap, now is a great time to replace it, as well.
Remove the batteries from the remote control, and check to make sure you have your necessary cables and adapters.
That should do it! Your outdoor movie package's projector should be ready to store.
Keep warm,
