the center of the opening in the bezel. Move the Oscilaser by hand until the bezel can be slipped down
over it and seats against the housing bosses. Then carefully lift and remove the bezel so the Oscilaser
lower mounting bracket can be securely fastened down to the housing flanges. Then the bezel can be
reinstalled and fastened down.
Maintenance
If necessary, maintenance of your OsciLaser involves the cleaning of the lens and the replace-
ment of the lamp on the OsciLaser assembly.
Cleaning
Clean with soap and water to remove all salt, dirt or mud. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or harsh
chemicals, because the polycarbonate lens will scratch very easily. Polish the lens with PSE lens polish and a
soft paper cloth or towel.
Changing Lamps
To remove the lens, remove the 4 corner #8 X 7/8" stainless steel screws. Using a glove or cloth for hand
protection, push in the defective lamp and turn counter clockwise until the lamp can be removed. Install a new
Osram 64170 AX or equal bayonet-base lamp (non ceramic base lamps are recommended) and replace
lens.
