PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. Recharging using
the 120 volt AC method is recommended every two months, when not in frequent use.
If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth
moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. NEVER submerge this unit in
liquids of any kind.
Periodically inspect the condition of the recharge adapters, connectors and wires.
Replace any components that may have become worn or broken.
PARTS REPLACEMENT
One part is user replaceable. The quartz halogen bulb is proprietary and is
available through Vector; however a substitute 6 volt H3 55 watt bulb may be used
when replacing this bulb. These can be purchased from popular automotive parts
suppliers nationwide. For replacement parts and any additional information you
may need, contact Technical Support at (800) 618-5178.
Spotlight Bulb Replacement
To replace the H3 type 6 volt bulb you will need a small Phillips screwdriver and a
replacement bulb (Vector Part VEC193). Bulb life may be shortened by installing a
bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a cloth
moistened with alcohol. During bulb installation, avoid touching the glass part of
the bulb.
