Searchlight Maintenance
The only maintenance required on the Maxa Beam Searchlight is to periodically clean the body with
a damp cloth and to keep the front lens cover clean. Clean the front lens with window cleaner.
Focusing the Lamp
If the searchlight is dropped or receives a heavy impact from transportation or shipping, it may be
necessary to refocus the lamp to insure proper operation and maximum output. Refocusing of the
lamp requires centering the lamp within the reflector.
To Refocus the Lamp:
1)
Use a 1/16” allen driver to remove the 2 focus access screws. One screw is located on the
right front side of the main light housing and the other is located just left of the front of the
handle.
2)
Shine the light beam onto a flat surface about 50 feet away.
3)
Insert the allen driver into one of the focus access holes. A slight rotation and/or side to side
movement may be required until the allen driver is properly seated into the adjustment screw.
4)
After the allen driver has been inserted into the adjustment screw, turn the allen driver to
center the hotspot of the beam.
5)
Repeat this procedure for the other adjustment screw.
6)
Replace the focus access screws when focusing is complete. Do not over tighten screws.
