6. Adapter Cushioning On the back of the adapter there is a pre assembled thin strip or in the newest version a rubber cushion layer which is applied for absorbing vibrations and shocks This is a very important function because in the absence of the cushioning layer the connection with the click adapter C3 can be relaxed Antishock Therefore please check from time to time whether the tape or the rubber coating is still perfect If necessary replace the tape or send us the unscrewed clip adapter for renewal of the cushioning layer 19 E Waterproofing dirt and cleaning A Magnic Light unit consists of two mutually rotatable parts the generator part with black non transparent housing and the headlight part with transparent housing While the generator part is completely sealed and therefore waterproof this does not apply to the water insensitive part of the headlight If salt or tiny dust particles should penetrate in combination with water so these can be rinsed again with clean water To improve the tightness when driving in the rain you can use the supplied rubber rings G1 for sealing the rotating mechanism Drag the rubber band so far on the lamp unit that it covers the edge of rotation between the generator and headlight section entirely Since the rubber ring has a tight fit on the housing the water inlet and in particular the penetration of dirt is prevented The rubber ring may remain permanently on the lamp F
