SPOTLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To replace the H3 type 6 volt bulb you will need a small Phillips type screwdriver
and a replacement bulb (Vector Part VEC193). Bulb life may be shortened by
installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a
cloth moistened with alcohol. During bulb installation, avoid touching the glass part
of the bulb (see Figures 2A and 2B for details).
1. Disconnect the unit from any charging adapters.
2. Push the rubber bezel forward toward the front of the spotlight to reveal two
small Phillips screws in the retaining ring.
3. Using the screwdriver, remove (counterclockwise) the two screws. Set them aside.
4. Lift off the retaining ring, glass lens and rubber O ring and set them aside.
5. Carefully remove the reflector and bulb assembly (see Figures 2A and 2B).
6. Disconnect the bulb wire from the red power wire.
7. Unsnap the hairpin retaining wires from the reflector’s flange.
8. Using the screwdriver, loosen the retaining screw to remove the bulb from the
reflector (no need to completely remove this screw).
9. Lift out the bulb and detach wire.
10. Insert the replacement bulb into the reflector’s flange.
11. Put back and secure the hairpin retaining wires.
12. Connect the bulb power wire to the red power wire.
13. Tighten the retaining screw on the flange.
14. Place the reflector in position in the body of the spotlight.
15. Replace the rubber O ring in the groove around the perimeter of the reflector.
16. Replace glass and retaining ring so that the screw holes are aligned.
17. Secure retaining ring with two screws.
18. Replace rubber bezel
19. Operate switch to ensure proper operation of spotlight.
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of electric shock only replace bulb with 55 watt 6 volt
H3 bulb only.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To turn the cordless spotlight on depress the trigger switch. Depressing the trigger
switch at one second intervals advances the brightness level from dim to brightest.
To lock the trigger into the ON position pull the trigger switch and move the trigger
switch lock down. This will lock the trigger into the ON position. To shut it off, simply
move the trigger switch lock up to the OFF position.
RECHARGING YOUR SPOTLIGHT
To recharge, plug a 120 volt AC household extension cord into the 120V AC
Recharger on the back of the unit and charge for 12-14 hours or until the charge
level indicator light turns green.
CHARGING FROM A 12 VOLT DC SOURCE
Plug the DC fused Recharge/Power Adapter (included) into the Recharge Port.
Insert the power plug into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or other 12 volt DC
power source.
Make sure the spotlight is OFF and the Trigger Switch is in the OFF position
(not depressed).
Allow approximately 3-4 hours charging time.
Recharge until the green Battery Status LED lights.
Make sure the DC source (jump-starter, battery pack, vehicle accessory outlet, etc.)
is 12 volt DC. The DC source should be able to supply at least one half amp at
12 volt DC for 10 hours. This means a battery pack should be charged with at least
5 amp hours capacity.
