Ikelite C-Lite 8 manual To access the bulb compartment, the battery holder

BULB #0042.58 REPLACEMENT__________________________________________________
To access the bulb compartment, the battery holder
must be removed from the front lens assembly.
Depress the white-color release tab to unlock the
battery holder, and then rotate the battery holder
counter-clockwise slightly. A spring then pushes the
battery holder away from the front lens.
Make sure the bulb is cool. Tilt the front lens assembly
up to allow the bulb and heat sink (bulb holder) to drop
from the rear of the reflector. Place the new bulb IKE 8
CELL #0042.58 inside the heat sink (bulb holder) and
insert into the reflector opening.
In an emergency, use a common PR-size bulb
approximating 10V in place of the high-intensity
bulb #0042.58.	Bulb

MAINTENANCE________________________________________________________________

1. We suggest storage of your lite with the locking lever OPEN to allow any potential hydrogen/air mixture to escape.

2. The front edge of the lite body and the inner recess in the front assembly are the sealing surfaces. DO NOT allow these surfaces to become damaged.

3. 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 cause cracking of the plastics.

4. Occasionally clean the metal contacts for a better connection.

5. The front head assembly has been factory sealed; DO NOT disassemble.

CAUTION______________________________________________________________________

DO NOT use batteries that have been wet; batteries from a flooded lite should be discarded. Water could create an internal short circuit at some later date causing a potential explosion. The normal evolution of all batteries is emitting hydrogen gas. This gas must be absorbed or allowed to escape to prevent ignition of the entrapped hydrogen/air mixture. We suggest storage of your lite open to allow any hydrogen/air mixture to escape. A hydrogen absorber has been concealed inside this lite and should NOT be removed. In case the lite floods, glue a new hydrogen absorber to the back of the reflector and replace the batteries.
