Manual backgroundWARNING

Replace lamp with a similar type and wattage. Failure to replace lamp with the same type of lamp will damage the light assembly and may cause an electrical hazard resulting in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.

Manual backgroundWARNING

Always install a new lens gasket (part number 79101600) whenever disassembling the light. Failure to do so may permit water to leak into the assembly which could cause:

(a)an electrical hazard resulting in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock; or,

(b)breakage of the lamp or lens, which could result in serious injury to pool users, installers, bystanders, or in property damage.

3.To remove light assembly, remove the special pilot screw at top of face ring, remove light assembly from niche, and place assembly on deck.

Manual backgroundWARNING

Be sure to keep the special pilot screw from this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.

4.Disassemble light fixture and remove bulb. Remove and discard old gasket; see Figure 2.

5.Install new gasket during reassembly of light, Pentair Water Pool and Spa part number 79101600.

Manual backgroundWARNING

Never operate the underwater light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water. Without total submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot and may result in serious burns or in breakage of the lamp or lens. This may result in serious injury to pool users, installers, bystanders, or in damage to property.
