How to Fix the Acrylic Back on the Bottom of Your Tanning Bed

Tanning beds contain acrylic sheets, protecting you from the hot lights.

Tanning bed acrylics protect you from hot UV bulbs. Referred to as the sheet, acrylics can become damaged from misuse or age. To repair acrylic sheeting, a full replacement is necessary because nicks and cracks can cause injury to you and damage your tanning bed. Replacing your acrylic regularly also extends the life of your tanning bed by providing optimum protection to your bulbs.

Instructions

1. Unplug your tanning bed and set it in an upright position with the bottom end on the floor. Open your tanning canopy completely to prevent bumps or cuts.

2. Pull your profiles up from the middle of the open side to free the acrylic bed. Profiles hold your acrylic in place and are flexible for easy removal. You may find two sets on certain models.

3. Hold your acrylic by the outer edge closest to your body, careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges. Pull the acrylic towards you to release it from the inner profiles.

4. Lay your old acrylic to the side and grasp your new acrylic from the outer edge. Line up your new acrylic sheet with the inner profiles of your bed. Slide the sheet into the profiles.

5. Press your acrylic down onto both sides of profiles until you hear a soft click. This indicates your acrylic sheet is installed correctly.

6. Clean your acrylic with non-alcohol based cleanser formulated for acrylic surfaces. Cleaners are available at your local tanning bed retailer or online through your tanning bed manufacturer's website.
