Help with whites xlt

[gtfd47]

Got a whites XLT and I noticed there is a plastic shield that clips in over the loop on the bottom side. I have been detecting with this on, but realized last night that it comes off. Is this a protective gaurd or is it a part of the loop.

It's a coil cover to protect the coil from scraping the ground. For some reason they don't always fit tight and I know a few of us tape the coil cover on with electrical tape.

I have and still do, put a lite bead of clear silicon
around the edge. It holds the coil cover on and keeps sand and dirt out. Black sand can cause you a headach if it gets in. Mike. .

be sure to keep it clean (inside) and free of moisture (inside) i have no problem with mine on and it does help promote longer coil life
