Using the Install/Removal
Tool
Used only when the dome is connected to a base
having an I/O board, the RHIRT install/removal tool
eliminates the need for a ladder during routine
service. The tool can be used to:
Detach skirt or bubble from housing, if used.
Skirt or bubble remain attached to the housing
during service.
Connect/Disconnect dome from base
with I/O board.
Reattach skirt or bubble.
Telescopic Pole Required to Use Tool
The tool attaches to a telescopic pole similar to the type
used to clean swimming pools. The pole should be 5
feet, 5 inches to 15 feet, 5 inches long and have a 1.170
inch inside diameter to accept the 1.125 inch diameter
stem of the tool. If this pole cannot be obtained locally,
contact the following manufacturer:

Procedure
Referring to Figure 19, maneuver the stem of the
tool into the top of the pole until it snaps in place.
TO ATTACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:

place. Magnets secure the bubble. Lower pole.
TO DETACH SKIRT OR BUBBLE:

into tool’s receptacle.
