Using the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet

The 12 volt DC accessory outlet powers any DC appliance that does not exceed 5 amps. Flip up the accessory outlet cover and insert the appliance’s DC plug. Close the cover after use.

Using the Adjustable Workstand

Set the hands-free adjustable workstand to the desired position; then turn the knobs on either side of the unit to lock in position.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. Recharge the unit every two months when not in frequent use, preferably using the 120 volt AC method.

Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact Technical Support toll-free at (800) 544-6986 to replace any components that have become worn or broken.

Replacement Parts

The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid battery are available through Vector Products, Inc.. A comparable (12 volt H7 100 watt) bulb may be substituted. These can also be purchased from popular automotive parts suppliers nationwide. Contact Technical Support Department for replacement parts (including replacement adapters and cords) and any additional information that you may need. They may be reached toll free at (800) 544-6986.
