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!
