BULB INSTALLATION
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES when working around the xenon bulb. Open the
lamphouse access door by releasing the key lock and removing the tamperproof screws using the special screw-
driver supplied. The igniter lead and contact clamp are tied off for shipping. Free the clamp and slide it over the
rear bulb support collet. Attach the cathode lead to the cathode end cap, if not factory-installed.
REMOVE THE PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COVER from the xenon bulb only if necessary.
Handle the bulb by the metal end caps only. Insert the bulb into the lamphouse, passing the anode (+) end cap
through the center hole of the reflector. Take care not to bump or scratch the surface of the reflector.
INSERT THE ANODE (+) PIN into the rear support collet and contact clamp. Rest the
cathode (-) end cap in the front bulb support yoke. Seat the anode (+) pin into the rear support collet as far as
possible for correct focus travel. Securely tighten the socket head clamping screw in the anode contact.
REST THE CATHODE END CAP in the “V” of the bulb yoke. Insulate the cathode bulb lead
using the length of silastic rubber tubing supplied. Dress the bulb lead directly in front of the bulb support yoke
to minimize the projected shadow. Attach the ring terminal on the end of the bulb lead to the negative binding
post inside the operator’s access door. Securely tighten the 3/8-16 hexnut.
REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER from the bulb. Record the bulb serial number, date, and
lamphouse hours on the Xenon Bulb Record on the inside back cover of this manual. This information will be
needed in the event of a bulb warranty adjustment.
