ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LAMP AND SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
1
1. Locate canister number 4 (shown on previous page).
With the plastic cover removed, remove the threaded
retainer on the top of the ultraviolet (UV) canister. (See
figure 1 & 2).
2
2. Open the carton containing the UV lamp and
the quartz sleeve. Remove the quartz sleeve
from its packing. (Be sure not to remove UV bulb
from packing yet).
5
5. Place the threaded retainer over the top of the sleeve
and gently tighten the cap until it is snug and the top of
the sleeve is properly seated in the cap. Do not over-
tighten as the sleeve may break (See figure 4).
6
6. Check the seat at the top of the sleeve by
reaching into the middle of the retainer and
rubbing a finger along the inside of the glass.
There should be a slight gap between the glass
and the cap. If an uneven gap is present, do
not attempt to tighten the cap further as the
sleeve will break. The uneven gap indicates
that the sleeve is misaligned. STOP and repeat
step #3 taking care to insure proper seating and
alignment of the sleeve.

7. Remove the UV lamp from the packing and clean
thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove all traces
of oil and grease. Be careful not to touch the glass
lamp area with your fingers as this will leave oils on
the lamp, causing the lamp to fail prematurely.
8
8. Carefully slide the UV lamp through the
retainer and into the quartz sleeve making
sure that the lamp prongs are at the top
(See figure 5).
9
9. Plug the ballast into the top of the UV lamp
(See figure 6).
10
10. Place the plastic cover over the retainer to
protect the top to the UV lamp. The lamp should
be seated low enough in the sleeve so that when
the plastic cover is in place, there is clearance
between it and the cabinet top (See figure 7).
Plug ballast into properly grounded 110-120 Volt
household receptacle.

3. The quartz sleeve resembles a large test tube.
Remove the sleeve from the packing and place it
into the top of the UV canister and carefully lower it
into place. Be sure the sleeve is straight and slides
fully into the receiving tube at the bottom of the
canister. The sleeve will be fitted with a black O-ring
and a plastic washer near the top. These should be
positioned about 1/2 inch from the top of the tube.
All water should be removed from the canister before
proceeding with this step (See figure 3).
4
4. Check that the bottom of the sleeve is seated
properly by gently depressing the top edge
of the sleeve with a finger. The sleeve should
bounce on the spring located in the receiving
tube. If it does not bounce the tube is misaligned
and must be re-seated BEFORE proceeding.
Apply a very thin coat of unscented petroleum
jelly to the top rim of the sleeve. Be careful not
to get any of the jelly on the inside of the sleeve.
