Test Fit the Quartz Assembly by placing the smaller end of the Black Threaded Connector (A) into the bottom of the Baffle Shield until the top threads are visible through the top of the Baffle Shield (B) and the Aqua UV Logo is just below the Baffle Shield.

6. Caution: Prevent finger marks on the lamp. If you touch the Lamp use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean it .

Note: Lamps and Quartz Sleeves should be handled with care. Lamps and Quartz Sleeves are not warranted against breakage.
Lamps need to be changed every 14 months. Use only genuine Aqua Ultraviolet Lamps.
Do not look at or handle UV Lamps when lit outside of the Skimmer Housing. Considerable Ultraviolet energy is emitted which may produce severe sunburn and/or conjunctivitis.

• Remove Lamp from shipping tube holding it by the blue end pieces. Plug Lamp into the White Lamp End Connector (I). Be sure the Lamp and the Lamp End connector are flush.

• Be very careful when installing the lamp. If the lamp is not plugged in all the way this may cause damage to the Retrofit Unit and is not covered under warranty nor is any damage caused by improper installation.

• Insert the Lamp straight into the Quartz Sleeve assembly.

• Do not drop the lamp into the Quartz Sleeve, it will break the Quartz Sleeve. Do not install the lamp at an angle, even a slight angle; this may cause a “U” shaped crack at the end of the Quartz Sleeve or break the lamp. If this should happen, do not proceed with the installation. Purchase a new Lamp or  Quartz sleeve from your dealer.

• Do not force the lamp into the Quartz Sleeve, any force would be an indication of improper installation.

• Take a damp towel and wipe finger prints from Quartz Sleeve (C).
  INSTALLATION

• Hold the assembly by the White End Compression Nut (D) under the Baffle and the Blue Transformer Cap (F) above the Baffle spinning the nut to tighten. Hand tighten only.
