7.3 REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK

The sealed lead acid battery has a life of several years, if recharged promptly after each use. When a fully charged battery only provides about ten minutes or less of spotlight operation, it should be replaced with a new one. To replace the battery, you will need a narrow shaft Phillips-head screwdriver and a replacement battery. The battery pack can be replaced by doing the following:

1.Complete the bulb replacement steps through step 4, to remove the reflector assembly.

2.Remove all the Phillips-head screws (counterclockwise) that fasten the two halves of the housing body.

3.Separate the two body halves and carefully pop out the handle.

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW BARE WIRES OR CONNECTORS TO CONTACT

EACH OTHER; DANGEROUS SPARKING CAN OCCUR.

4.Note polarity of battery. Note which color wire is on which terminal.

5.Disconnect the wires from the battery and set the battery aside.

6.Connect the replacement battery, making sure the correct color wires are on the new battery terminals. Make sure the polarity of battery is correct.

WARNING: Incorrectly connected wires will damage the battery and recharge

adapter, double check battery polarity before reassembly.

CAUTION: Incorrectly connected wires will allow the spotlight to operate normally, however, when recharge adapters are connected, there will be damage to the battery and recharge adapters. Double check battery polarity before reassembly!

7.Replace handle, in one half of the housing body. Make sure wires and connectors do not touch.

8.Place other half of housing body into position and replace screws (clockwise). Do not overtighten.

9.Follow steps 13 through 19 for bulb replacement to reassemble reflector, rubber “O” ring, glass, retaining ring and rubber bezel. Charge the new battery using AC recharge adapter for a minimum of 20-25 hours initially, then 18 hours thereafter.
