5. PARTS REPLACEMENT
Three parts are replaceable by users. The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid battery are
proprietary and are available through HUSKY. A substitute 6 volt H3 55 watt bulb may be used
instead of a HUSKY bulb. These can also be purchased from popular automotive parts suppliers
nationwide. The DC charging adapter fuse is replaceable. Contact HUSKY’s Technical Support De-
partment for replacement parts and any additional information that you may need. They may be
reached toll free (800) 916-7004.
DC PLUG FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC Recharge Adapter. This fuse may
blow if the spotlight is operated when the DC Recharge Adapter is powered and the DC cord is
connected to the recharge port. During DC recharge, if there is no slight warming of the DC
plug, you should suspect that 6 volts DC is not powering the plug or the fuse is opened.
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC Plug. (counterclockwise)
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type and rating.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
