Setup and Installation
The replacement tail cap is designed for easy installation. Ensure your flashlight is turned off and disconnected from any power source before proceeding.
- Preparation: Ensure the flashlight body and the new tail cap are clean and free of debris.
- Removal of Old Tail Cap: Unscrew the existing tail cap from the rear of your Streamlight Stinger series flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Inspection: Inspect the threads on the flashlight body for any damage or dirt. Clean if necessary.
- Installation of New Tail Cap: Align the new replacement tail cap with the threads on the flashlight body. Carefully screw it on by turning clockwise.
- Tightening: Hand-tighten the tail cap until it is snug. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the threads or the internal components.
Operating Instructions
Once the tail cap is securely installed, the flashlight should operate as normal. The tail cap typically houses the power switch or provides a secure end for the battery compartment.
- Power On/Off: Refer to your specific Streamlight Stinger flashlight model's manual for detailed instructions on operating the power switch, which may be integrated into the tail cap or located elsewhere on the flashlight body.
- Battery Access: The tail cap provides access to the battery compartment. Unscrew the tail cap to insert or replace batteries as per your flashlight's specifications.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your tail cap and flashlight.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the threads of the tail cap and the flashlight body with a clean, dry cloth to prevent dirt and debris buildup.
- Lubrication: If your flashlight's original tail cap had an O-ring for water resistance, ensure the new tail cap also has one. Lightly lubricate the O-ring with silicone grease to maintain its seal and prevent wear.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tail cap for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain water resistance and functionality.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after replacing the tail cap, consider the following common solutions:
- Flashlight Not Turning On:
- Ensure the tail cap is fully tightened. A loose tail cap can prevent electrical contact.
- Check the batteries. Ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge.
- Inspect the contact points inside the tail cap and on the flashlight body for dirt or corrosion. Clean if necessary.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Re-tighten the tail cap.
- Check for any debris or foreign objects obstructing the electrical contacts.
- Water Ingress:
- Ensure the O-ring (if present) is properly seated and not damaged.
- Verify the tail cap is fully tightened.
