C. ASSEMBLY
1. Slide the motor (F) into the gearbox (A) and secure it in place screwing in the motor cover (E) with two small screws (L) as shown.
The motor wires should face the center of the gearbox.
2. Insert the light (I) into the hole at the bottom of the gearbox (A), making sure that the wires come out through the hole's slot. Line up
the slot at the bottom of the cap (H) with the LED light's wires before you slide in over top.
3. Secure the two black wires together with a peg (K). Repeat with the red wires.
4. Cover the two wire terminals with the wire cover (B) and secure with two small screws (L), allowing the wires to come out the side
hole as shown. Secure with two small screws.
5. Attach the handle (J) to the handle joint (G) and secure it with a washer screw (M). Attach the handle joint to the gearbox with a small
screw (L).
6. Fill a 1 litre (or 35 fl. oz.) recyclable water bottle a bit more than half full. Align the two bottle connectors (C, D) with the cap of the
water bottle. Secure the two pieces together with two small screws as shown.
D. OPERATION
The Eco-Tech Bulb is a dual-powered generator which transforms gravity or hand motion into electrical energy.
GRAVITY-POWERED MODE
7. To switch the device to gravity mode, press the button on the side with the handle so that the button is pushed out on the other side.
Turn the crank to align the gears if the button is hard to push.
8. Ask an adult for help with finding a secure hook around 5.8 feet (70 inches) above the ground to place the gearbox on. Place the top
of the device onto a door hook. Hook the 1L water bottle onto the device.
9. Pull the handle on the left side of the gearbox all the way down so that the water bottle is lifted up close to the LED light as shown.
10. Watch as the bottles descends to the ground and turns on the light in the process! The light should turn on for over a minute.
HAND-POWERED MODE
11. Take the bottle off the gearbox's hook and pull the handle all the way down. Wrap the excess string around the handle to prepare
the hand crank powered light for use as shown. Push the button so that it protrudes out of the handle side of the gearbox.
12. Turn the handle to turn on the light! Be careful not to turn the crank too fast to avoid damaging the gears inside the Eco-Tech Bulb.
