INTERCHANGING MODELS

RCD H and HR

The HR front head assembly is modified for the rechargeable light which means it is NOT interchangeable with the 4-cell alkaline version RCD. Only the body assembly is interchangeable between the H and HR models.

SUPER-8 and 8R

The Super-8R front head assembly is modified for the rechargeable light which means it is NOT interchangeable with the 8-cell alkaline version Super-8. Only the body assembly is interchangeable between the Super-8 and 8R models.

MAINTENANCE_________________________________________________________________

1. We suggest storage of your lite with the locking lever OPEN to allow any potential hydrogen/air mixture to escape.

2. The inner ledges of the lite body and front assembly are the sealing surfaces. DO NOT allow these surfaces to become damaged.

3. Keep the o-ring and sealing surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it will cause cracking of the plastics.

4. Occasionally clean the metal contacts for a better connection.

5. The front head assembly has been factory sealed; DO NOT disassemble.

CAUTION______________________________________________________________________

DO NOT use batteries that have been wet; batteries from a flooded lite should be discarded. Water could create an internal short circuit at some later date causing a potential explosion. The normal evolution of all batteries is emitting hydrogen gas. This gas must be absorbed or allowed to escape to prevent ignition of the entrapped hydrogen/air mixture. We suggest storage of your lite open to allow any hydrogen/air mixture to escape. A hydrogen absorber has been concealed inside this lite and should NOT be removed. In case the lite floods, install a new hydrogen absorber in the spare bulb holder and replace the batteries.
