reflector (no need to completely remove this screw).

9. Lift out the bulb and the attached wire.
10. Insert the replacement bulb into the reflector’s flange.
11. Put back and secure the hairpin retaining wires.
12. Connect the bulb power wire to the red power wire.
13. Tighten the retaining screw on the flange.
14. Place the reflector in position in the body of the spotlight.
15. Replace the rubber “O” ring in the groove around the perimeter of the reflector.
16. Replace glass and retaining ring so that the screw holes are aligned.

7.3 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

T

he sealed lead acid battery has a life of several years, if recharged promptly after each

use. When a fully charged battery only provides about ten minutes or less of spotlight

operation, it should be replaced with a new one. To replace the battery, you will need

a narrow shaft Phillips-head screwdriver and a replacement battery. The battery pack

can be replaced by doing the following:

1. Complete the bulb replacement steps through step 4, to remove the reflector

assembly.

2.  Remove all the Phillips-head screws (counterclockwise) that fasten the two halves of

the housing body.

3.  Separate the two body halves and carefully pop out the handle.

WARNING:

DO NOT ALLOW BARE WIRES OR CONNECTORS TO CONTACT

EACH OTHER; DANGEROUS SPARKING CAN OCCUR.
