8.2 BATTERY DISPOSAL:
1. Non-spillable sealed lead-acid battery - This battery is fully recyclable
and should be accepted at any location that accepts common auto-
motive starter batteries. Examples of places that accept these batter-
ies are: County or municipal recycling drop-off centers, scrap metal
dealers, and retailers who sell automotive replacement lead acid
starter batteries. For more information on recycling this battery,
call toll-free (877) 288-7722.
2. Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty tape
to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
3. Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
9 FUSE REPLACEMENT:
The spotlight’s DC power/charging cord is equipped with a 10 amp
cartridge fuse. If this fuse blows, there may be a short circuit in the power cord or
lamp assembly. The fuse will blow if the battery is connected with reverse polarity. The
fuse is accessed by unscrewing (counter-clockwise) the tip of the large DC plug. Check
the fuse with an ohmmeter or other continuity checker. If the fuse is open, investigate
why it blew and correct the problem before replacing the fuse. Reassemble the DC
connector and power the lamp from a 10 amp or greater 12 volt power supply.
