O-RING_______________________________________________________________________

Keep the o-ring and sealing surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it will crack the plastic.

Place the clean o-ring on the inner recess of the front head assembly.

Do not dent or damage the front edge of the lite body as the o-ring seals against this surface.

CLOSING THE LITE_____________________________________________________________

• Make sure the on/off switch has been rotated left to the off position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Place the front lens face down on a flat surface. Check that the o-ring and sealing surfaces are

clean and undamaged; make sure the o-ring is positioned properly on the inner recess of the front.

• Place locking lever in the open position (pull out, flip up, and rotate lever).

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Align the handle on the body with the handle reference on the battery holder. Lower the body

over the batteries. Proper alignment of the body with the front is extremely important to avoid

possible damage to the internal components.
