MAINTENANCE, SERVICE & INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance that may be required is:
• Periodically clean the Exit Window of the GL3000PM.
Do this with a soft cloth. Do not use Kleenex or paper
towels. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
Note: Always turn off power to the laser then cleaning the
Exit Window.
SERVICE
No service is required and no service is to be performed
by the Customer. Only LaserLine Mfg., is authorized
to perform service. Any opening, tampering with, or
modifying the GL3000PM Laser Housing by anyone
other than LaserLine Mfg., Inc. will void the warranty.
Warning!
Under no circumstances, attempt to open or
disassemble Laser Housing. Doing so may cause expo-
sure to potentially hazardous levels of laser radiation.
INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
1. Mount the GL3000PM Laser on the vehicle at least
5 feet off the ground. Most Operators prefer to mount
the laser on top of the cab. The higher up the laser is
mounted, the farther ahead of the vehicle you can aim
the laser. When using the GL3000PM for guiding the
gun package in lieu of the vehicle, the laser can be set
up as low as 2-1/2 to 3 feet. (See Fig. 1 for details.)
For best daylight visibility of the laser spot use the dis-
tance versus height chart (Fig. 1) as the maximum dis-
tance away from the laser the spot should be — closer
will be brighter, farther away will be dimmer.
2. The laser must be mounted to a stable surface. If
the laser base is vibrating (too flimsy a mount) on the
vehicle, the vibration is magnified at the laser spot and
can make it difficult to see. Stability of the laser mount
is very important.

Warning!
Do not mount the GL3000PM laser unit in
a location that allows the laser beam to be directed to
hit any shiny or reflective surface on the vehicle such as
chrome, side mounted rear view mirrors, or glass surfaces.

• Typically speaking, the closer to the vehicle the
more visible the laser spot.

Warning!
Do not mount the laser inside the cab and
shoot the laser beam through the windshield
This is an unsafe practice as the laser

beam can reflect back
off the windshield into the Operator’s eyes (back scatter).
