Replacing the O-Ring
The battery compartment O-ring should be cleaned whenever the cover is removed and replaced
BEFORE it is showing any signs of wear and tear.
The O-ring should be replaced every one to two years maximum.
To replace the O-ring:
1. Turn the power switch off.
2. Open the battery compartment by removing all six screws. Note there is a lanyard attached to the
battery cover.
3. Gently pry the O-ring from the groove. Use a wood or plastic wedge to help lift the O-ring from the
groove.
4. Clean the O-ring groove using a lint free cloth. Be sure the groove is free of foreign matter, dirt,
and scratches.
5. Lubricate the O-ring with a thin coat of silicone lubricant. Use as little lubricant as possible; use
just a sufficient amount to change the color of the O-ring.
Apply the lubricant using latex gloves. Do not let loose fibers or lint stick to the O-ring.
Fibers can provide a leakage path.
6. Press the O-ring into the groove on the battery cover.
7. Clean the O-Ring mating surface on the battery compartment with a lint free wipe.
8. Install the battery compartment cover by installing all six screws until fully tightened. Make sure
the lanyard and battery leads are not pinched by the cover when installed.
