Clean the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or some other mild acid and then rinse with water. Note: If sleeve cannot be cleaned completely or it is scratched or cracked, then replace the sleeve. 7. Place O-ring on the sleeve near the end. Insert the sleeve into the chamber. Ensure quartz sleeve is properly centered in the chamber. 8. Place sleeve bolt onto the quartz sleeve, carefully push down and hand tighten onto chamber. 9. Insert new lamp into the quartz sleeve and thread into sleeve bolt until hard stop. 10. Align connection pins with the lamp connector by rotating the ring clamp.
