  4.11 Carefully maneuver the lens into place side to side and rotate lens into the upper retainer.

Caution:

 The lens does not have the protective coating now, so be extra careful when inserting the lens into

the opening to prevent abrasion. Squeeze the lens gently to clear the opening.

   4.12

  Continue to pull on the handle while positioning lower retainer into place.  If retainer will not sit

on bottom skin properly, additional pull force may be needed to move lens forward due to the
foam seal resistance. Additional lens trimming may be necessary.

  4.13  When the lens and lower retainer are properly seated, insert the two remaining 5/8” screws in

the outboard lower retainer holes and tighten all four screws.

  4.14  Tighten the four upper retainer screws.

Caution:

 To prevent stripping the retainer threads, do not over tighten the retainer screws. These screws

should not back out. To prevent this, just use a little service removable “Loc-Tite” on the threads.

Note:

If you prefer to mount the lens retainers with flat head screws (not included), retainers can be

countersunk slightly  to accommodate the necessary “skin bumps” . If you do this, take care not to
countersink too deeply, destroying the retainer threads.

  4.15  Remove the tape from lens and clean off residue.

  4.16  Installation procedure is complete. CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks again for purchasing the Fresh Aero Lens Kit for Sonex Aircraft. We have tried to make this kit and
manual  as  user  friendly  as  possible.  We  always  welcome  your  comments  and  suggestions  for  future
revisions.
