6. Remove knurled nut and locking star washer (if present) from negative (cathode) base pin
of lamp.
7. Remove protective cover from lamp.
8. Insert threaded cathode end of lamp into negative lamp connector located in rear of
plenum. (See Item 7 in Figure A-6.)
9. Screw lamp in place until it bottoms out in lamp connector.
10. Rest positive (anode) end on forward wire cradle.
11. Install positive lamp connector. (See Figure 5-1.)
12. Tighten clamping screws in positive and negative lamp connectors. (See Items 7 and 17,
Figure 5-1).
Proper electrical contact is essential in order to prevent resistance in the
positive and negative lamp connectors.
13. Verify that positive lead from lamp to igniter does not touch or run close to any metal
parts of lamphouse or mirror.
Leads that are too close to any metal parts will cause arcing during starting
pulse, and lamp may not ignite.

quartz body of lamp with alcohol and carefully wipe with soft cloth and distilled water.
WARNING
Authorized protective clothing must be worn when cleaning lamp.
15. Replace plenum cover plate and close operating door.
Interlock switches prevent the system from operating if the top door on the
operator side and the door on the non-operating side are not closed and
locked.
