Tips to Avoid Damage to Your Spotlight

•Never attempt to wipe or clean the inner reflective surface of the reflector. Touching or wiping the surface will damage it permanently.

•The lens is made of optical-quality, tempered glass. As with all glass, avoid dropping or sharp impact on spotlight.

•Do not allow the hot lens to come in contact with water or materials subject to heat damage.

•This spotlight is weather resistant. It is not waterproof. Do not use the spotlight under water or store outdoors for extended periods.

•Only use a Brinkmann 12-volt, halogen bulb that is designed for your spotlight. Use of any other bulb may result in poor performance and may damage your spotlight.

•After months of use, cigarette lighters can build up corrosion that may prevent your spotlight from making good contact. It may be necessary to clean the inside of your cigarette lighter receptacle with a fine emery cloth. Before cleaning receptacle, remove the fuse to prevent it from shorting out.
