Code 3 MX 7000 - Manual (Page 15)

Maintenance
Lens Cleaning
Use plain water and a soft cloth, or Code 3 ® lens polish and a very soft paper towel or facial tissue.
Because plastic scratches easily, cleaning is recommended only when necessary (about every six
months). Do not subject the lenses to car washes that use brushes, as these will scratch the lenses.
Lens Removal
First, if there is a speaker cover,
remove it as outlined in the Pre-
Installation Section of this manual.
Next, disengage the lens clips (4
per lens) as shown in Figure 13.
Finally, insert a screwdriver into
the inside edge or corner of the
lens, see Figure 13, and twist the
screwdriver to lift the lens.
Changing Rotating Reflector Lamps
Remove the lens as outlined above. Next, inspect the lamp and compare to Figure 14 to determine lamp
type. It may be necessary to remove any rotating or cylindrical filters to make access easier. Note:
Make sure lamp is cool before attempting to change it. Also, when installing a new lamp, be sure not to
touch the glass with fingers. If contact is made, clean the glass with a soft cloth after inspection.
H-1: First grasp lamp at base and turn
until retaining clip tab is accessible.
Using a blade screwdriver, remove
retaining clip and pull lamp straight up.
Replace with new lamp. Insure that the
power lead and retaining clip is fully
seated.
S-795 (Bayonet Style): Push down
and turn to remove lamp. Install a new
lamp the same way.
Note: If attempting to clean the
reflector, use only a mild glass cleaner
and a very soft cloth. Do not attempt to
use any wax type products as these will
burn onto the reflector.
Changing Lower Unit Lamp and/or Filter
Refer to Figure 16. Remove closeout plate by lifting front of plate and sliding tabs out of midplate to
expose components below. In most cases, these lamps will be a bayonet style, so simply push in and
turn counterclockwise to remove. Lower filters can be taken out by removing mounting screw and sliding
filter past reflector while tilting reflector back slightly. Refer to Figure 15. All lights have a special "J" slot
