LIFEGARD #R175072 RAINTIGHT REPLACEMENT GASKET FOR LIFEGARD ULTRAVIOLET STERILIZERS

The Lifegard Raintight Coupling keeps moisture out of the UV Sterilizer and protects the bulb from moisture damage. It will keep electrical connection dry and allow safe operation when unit is installed outdoors. Please note that the ballast assembly must also be kept dry, with no chance for water contact. Water contact will damage ballast and possibly create an electrical hazard. Please see Raintight Ballast Box instructions on other side.
 RAINTIGHT COUPLING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 1. Turn off pump.
 2. Shut off ball valves located on each side of UV Sterilizer.
 3. Unplug ballast assembly that operates UV bulb.
 4. Remove bulb with ballast attached from unit by pulling assembly straight out.
 5. Squeeze the narrow end of the splash boot in one hand and with the cord in the other hand gently work the pin connectors towards the large open end of the splash boot. This will force the electrical connection out of the splash boot. Separate the bulb from the 4-pin female connector by pulling the two connectors apart. Do not pull the wires as this will damage the bulb and/or the female connector. Set the ballast and bulb aside.
 6. Unscrew the cap with quartz sleeve attached.
 7. Unscrew the compression coupling on top of the cap and discard. The gasket must remain entirely below open end of quartz sleeve to achieve and maintain a positive seal.
 8. Screw the bottom of the Raintight Coupling onto the cap thread. The compression coupling will push the quartz sleeve and gasket into proper position as you hand tighten. Tighten until sleeve and cap are secured together.
 9. Carefully insert quartz sleeve with cap attached into center of UV Sterilizer and hand tighten.
 10. Unscrew the top cap of the Raintight Coupling and remove the split gasket.
 11. Separate bulb from 4-pin connector on ballast. Slide the splash boot up the ballast cord and away from the 4-pin female connector.
 12. Insert the 4-pin female connector through the top cap of the Raintight Coupling.
 13. The clear wire covering should touch the 4-pin connector so that individual wires are not exposed. If wires are exposed, pull clear covering towards 4-pin connector before installing gasket. Do not pull on 4-pin connector or wires. Open the split gasket and slide gasket over clear wire covering above the 4-pin female connector. Be certain split gasket is positioned over clear wire covering and not on the individual wires, to achieve proper seal.
 14. Match the pins of the male bulb and female connector and push into place.
 15. Gently insert bulb through Raintight Coupling on top of UV Sterilizer until it reaches the bottom of the quartz sleeve inside the unit.
 16. Slide top cap of Raintight Coupling over split gasket and tighten onto top thread of the Coupling. Hand tighten only.
 17. The splash boot is no longer necessary. It can be placed over the Raintight Coupling if desired or can be cut off. Use caution not to cut ballast wires.
