MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance that may be required is:
• Periodically clean the Exit Window of the GL3000PMC.
Do this with a soft cloth or Kleenex. 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 GL3000PMC 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 GL3000PMC 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 GL3000PMC 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
distance versus height chart (Fig. 1) as the maximum
distance 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. See page 11 for electrical information.
3.
Warning!
Do not mount the laser inside the cab and
shoot the laser beam through the windshield without
the use of a boot. This is an unsafe practice as the laser
beam can reflect back off the windshield into the Opera-
tor’s eyes (back scatter). Contact the factory for details.
4.
Warning!
Do not mount the GL3000PMC 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.
