Discussing SCAMP Maintenance

REMOVING & REPLACING THE ELECTRONICS COVERS

Electronics covers are secured by small screws, or in later models, simply taped on.  In some cases black electrical tape has been applied over these screws and running the length of the edge of the electronic cover.  Remove the tape if required.  Unscrew the small screws and place them in a location where they will not be lost.  Covers simply lift off after all screws are removed. 

When replacing either cover be sure that the proper end is forward. There is a serial number stamped on the chassis and also scratched into each cover. When the covers are installed properly, all three serial numbers (two covers and the chassis - see picture) line up.  When replacing screws be sure not to use too much torque when tightening.  Insure that the screw head is flush or nearly flush with the cover.  You may have to press on the cover to obtain this. 

Replace the electrical tape with fresh tape.   (Electrical tape reduces the chance that the screw heads will scratch SCAMP's outer tube o-ring sealing rings as you slide SCAMP back together.)
