Installing a Dome

To install a dome:

DO NOT FORCE THE DOME DOWNWARD—If there is resistance to the dome 

dropping into position on the base, do not force it downward. To avoid 

damaging the dome, ensure that the dome hook is properly centered with the 

mating recess in the pod base so that it drops down from the vertical position.

1. 

  See Figure 4 on page 6. Hold the dome at an angle and insert the pod hook into the mating recess 

in the pod base. Ensure the dome hook is properly centered with the mating recess in the pod base. 

The dome drops from the vertical position when the dome hook is properly aligned.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREW—Do avoid damaging the pod, do not 

overtighten the #10-32 screw securing it to the pod base.

2. 

  Insert the #10-32 Torx shoulder screw into the hole through the tip of the dome and into the pod 

base. To prevent cross-threading, back the screw counterclockwise until you hear the click of the 

threads engaging, then tighten the screw.

3. 

  Reconnect power to the light assembly.

Replacing a Pod

The pod contains the LED light and printed circuit board. The pod is replaceable in one piece.

Tool required:

T25 Torx driver

Removing a Pod

To remove a pod:

1. 

  Disconnect all power to the light assembly at the battery.

2. 

  See Figure 5 on page 8. Use a T25 Torx driver to loosen the #10-32 Torx shoulder screw by 1/4 

inch, just enough for the tip of the screw to clear the top plate.

3. 

  Rotate the pod counterclockwise to the stopping point.

4. 

  Lift the pod from the base and unplug the electrical connector from the pod.

5. 

  Inspect the gasket on the base of the pod to insure it is not torn, brittle, or damaged. Replace it if 

necessary.
