8 Bubble Handling and Cleaning
The bubble is made of acrylic for excellent optical clarity. Special care is required when
handling and cleaning the bubble to avoid scratching it.
8.1 Handling
The bubble is packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble
remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches
can quickly affect visibility.
8.2 Cleaning
If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the
warnings listed below.
8.2.1 Cleaning the Bubble Interior
The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth.
Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the
interior surface.
Removing the Pendant Bubble
Use the following procedure to remove the bubble:
1. Using both hands, apply a counterclockwise (looking up at the dome) rotational force on
the Pendant Bubble Assembly to set the bubble latch.
2. Insert a small (2 mm) straight blade screwdriver into the latch opening of the bubble
trim-ring to release the latch. Then remove the screwdriver. See the figure below.

3. Rotate the bubble assembly counterclockwise approximately 20 degrees until the bubble
assembly releases from the pendant housing and remove the bubble.
4. To replace the bubble, insert the bubble assembly into the pendant housing, and rotate it
clockwise (looking up at the dome) until it locks. The latch mechanism makes a click
when it locks.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause the bubble to cloud
and over time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.
