MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Rechargeable Flashlight
Warnings:
Any battery may leak harmful chemicals which may damage skin, clothing,
or the inside of the flashlight TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY, DO NOT LET ANY MATERIAL
LEAKED FROM A BATTERY COME IN CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. Any battery may
rupture or explode if put in a fire or otherwise exposed to excessive heat. TO AVOID
RISK OF INJURY, DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERIES TO EXCESSIVE HEAT.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Battery Pack
- Remove the battery pack from the flashlight and visually inspect for
signs of gas or chemical leakage. Indications of leakage are discoloration of the plastic
sleeve or white fuzzy material near the top (positive side button) of each cell. Another
indication would be a bulging deformation of the bottom (negative flat end) of the cell
can. If any of these signs are observed the battery pack should be removed from
service to prevent chemical damage to the inside of the flashlight.
Electrical Contacts
- The bare (bright) metal surfaces between the tail cap and barrel
must be clean as well as the spring contact surface of the tail cap.
O-ring Seals and Screw Threads
- To keep seals from drying out and the threads
operating smoothly, apply several drops of clean petroleum oil or jelly.
