DC plug fuse replacement

The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC recharge adapter. This fuse may blow if the spotlight is operated during DC recharge. If there is no slight warming of the DC plug, during recharge you should suspect that 12 volts DC is not powering the plug or the fuse is opened.

To replace the fuse:

1.Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).

2.Remove spring center contact and fuse.

3.Check fuse with a continuity checker.

4.If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type and rating.

5.Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.

6.Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight-do not over-tighten.

7.Check for proper operation of DC charger adapter.

spotlight bulb replacement

To replace the H3 type 12 volt bulb, you will need a small Phillips-head type screwdriver and a replacement bulb. Bulb life can be shortened by installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with cloth moistened with alcohol. During bulb installation, avoid touching the glass part of the bulb (see Figure 6A and 6B for details).

6.Carefully remove the reflector and bulb assembly.

7.Disconnect the bulb wire from the red power wire and set the burned out bulb aside.

9.Using the screwdriver, loosen the retaining screw to remove the bulb from the reflec-

tor (no need to completely remove this screw).

10.Lift out the bulb and the attached wire.

11.Insert the replacement bulb into the reflector’s flange.

12.Put back and secure the hairpin retaining wires.

13.Connect the bulb power wire to the red power wire.
