Pentair Quasar Section, Relamping Instructions, can result in death or severe personal injury

SECTION V.		RELAMPING INSTRUCTIONS
		WARNING
	Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before servicing this unit. Failure to disconnect power
	can result in death or severe personal injury.
1.	It is desirable to reduce the water level to the lower edge of the flow director. This makes bulb
	assembly replacement easier, but it is not mandatory.

2.Remove power from the unit by taking the power cord’s 3-prong plug and disconnecting it from its electrical outlet, or in the case of a hard-wired application, by turning the respective circuit breaker to the OFF position.

3.	Remove the snap-on cord cap by inserting a slotted
	screw driver into the access hole as illustrated in
	Figure 20 and prying upwards.
4.	Disconnect both wire connectors and put the snap-on
	cord cap aside in a dry location and remove the bulb
	assembly nut.
5.	At this point you should have the new replacement
	bulb assembly accessible and confirm that the red
	cap/plug is pressed firmly into the bulb assembly to
	prevent water from entering the bulb assembly.
6.	If you were able to lower the water level as suggested
	in step 1, then simply remove the old bulb assembly
	by pulling on the flow director while pushing the bulb
	assembly from the outside of the pool. If you were
	unable to lower the water level, follow these
	instructions: push the bulb assembly out from the

outside of the pool, keeping the back of the fitting

covered with a folded rag in the palm of your hand to

prevent water loss from the rear of the fitting body; see

Figure 4. Pull the flow director and bulb.

7. Take the new replacement bulb assembly with the red

cap/plug in place and insert the bulb assembly

through the flow director. Note the aligning keyway

on the bulb assembly as shown in Figure 8. The

keyway must point in the same direction as the top

key on the fitting body.

Now, from inside the pool, push the bulb assembly

with the flow director into the fitting body until both

are nearly flush against the inside pool wall. You can

now remove your hand and the fitting should again be

sealed.
