SECTION 5
BATTERIES:
The MK-7 BUDDY-LINE
®
is provided with an SP-8 eight-cell AA battery
holder located in the lower housing (Figure 1, #14). It is recommended to
use Alkaline batteries only. To install the batteries, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the latches on the sides of the lower housing (Figure 1,
#15). Pull up on the latches simultaneously.
2.
Separate the upper and lower modules while being careful not to
damage the battery snaps, wires, or o-ring (Figure 1, #12 & 13).
3.
Remove the eight-cell battery holder (Figure 1, #14) and install
eight fresh, 1.5 volt Alkaline AA batteries per the diagram on the
SP-8.
4.
Carefully connect the wire harness connector (Figure 1, #13) to
the SP-8 battery holder. Verify that both spring-type connectors
mate firmly and that you have not accidently bent the connectors.
5.
Verify that the o-ring (Figure 1, #12) is in place, lightly lubricated
with a good-grade silicone grease, and that is it free of debris.
6.
Insert the SP-8 battery holder into the lower housing. Carefully
mate the upper and lower housings together. Ensure that you do
not pinch any wires and that nothing is on the o-ring or mating
surface.
7.
Connect the latches from the lower housing to the upper strikes.
Pull down the latches simultaneously until fully down. This will
spring-load the upper and lower assemblies.
8.
Look all around the MK-7 to verify the upper and lower assem-
blies appear evenly attached with no high spots.
