Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp with your bare fingers, or
other skin. This may leave grease marks that will degrade lamp
performance and may shorten lamp lifetime
9) Slide the o-rings over the flashlamp lead and into place using
tweezers. Reinstall the pump chamber end caps and carefully tighten
the screws to hold the lamp in place.
10) Carefully check the two o-rings on the resonator base plate, Figure 5-
6. The o-rings seal the pump chamber against water leaks. Ensure
that the o-rings are in place, before replacing the pump chamber in
the resonator.
11) Check that the four ball bearings in the laser base plate are in place.
The ball bearings locate the pump chamber with respect to the laser
baseplate.

line with the mirrors and the black flashlamp lead is on the end by
the Q-switch. Tighten the four screws to connect the pump chamber
to the base plate.
13) Reconnect the RED and BLACK flashlamp leads, as shown in Figure
