REPLACEMENT OF ANNUNCIATOR PANEL LIGHT BULBS.
Replacement of a bulb does not require removal of the annunciator panel. The lenses are designed to be a
friction fit in the annunciator panel and the light bulbs fit into the back side of the lenses. To replace a defective
bulb, simply pull the lens out of the annunciator panel. Withdraw the defective bulb from the lens and replace
with a new bulb. Align the key on the lens with the key way on the annunciator panel socket and press the lens
into position.
