OPERATION
Preparation
Batteries: Two "AA" batteries
(I.E.C.-Nr. LR 6) are required to
operate the searchlight. The bat-
teries are not included with the
model.
To install the batteries, remove
the tool box cover (Fig. 1). Insert
the batteries in the battery holder.
Reassemble.
Attention! Use high-quality batte-
ries, like "alkaline" batteries.
Remove the batteries when the
model is in storage. Dispose of
used batteries properly.
Water tank: To fill the water tank,
slide the tank cover to the side
(Fig. 2). Using a funnel, pour
water into the tank until it is
approximately 3/4 full. Use only
clean water. Do not overfill. Rein-
stall the tank cover.
Attention! Fill the tank with clean
water only. If the model is tilted or
inverted, water will spill from the
tank. Empty the tank when the
model is not in use.
Operating Modes
Searchlight: An on/off switch for
the searchlight is located at the
base of the searchlight (Fig. 3).
The searchlight can be rotated
180° and tilted 220°.
Water Pump: To operate the
water pump (Fig. 4), point the
spray nozzle at a safe object and
press the hand pump button.
CAUTION!
Only spray safe,
waterproof objects. Do not spray
objects that may be damaged by
water, like electrical devices. Do
not spray people. Do not spray
electrical outlets or cables.

lity, operate this model with LGB
