• When an extension cord is used:
– The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
this appliance.
– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or
pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD: Never contact combustible material to the lens and never tape or tie the switch in the on position.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• All halogen lights give off heat:
– Do not touch lens while operating.
– Keep combustibles away from spotlight lens. Extreme heat can cause fires.
– Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face down on any surface.
• Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person' s eyes.
• Keep sharp objects away from lens — it is glass and can break.
• Do not immerse spotlight in water.

charging source.
• Do not overcharge: Recharge up to 24 hours maximum.
• After charging/recharging, disconnect charging adapter or extension cord and wait 5 minutes before use.
• Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.
• Position charging adapter cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard. Keep charging adapter cords away
from sharp edges.
• Use in a dry location only.
• Except for the H3, 55 watt bulb, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to disassemble any other parts of the unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we
recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
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.
Except for the H3, 55 watt bulb, there are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and
wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any components that have become worn or broken.
Battery replacement/disposal
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery should last the service life of the unit. Service life is dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to
the number of recharge cycles, and proper care and maintenance of the battery by the end user. Contact manufacturer for any
information you may need.
SAFE BATTERY DISPOSAL
Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead acid battery, which must be disposed of properly.
Recycling is required. Failure to comply with local, state and federal regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment.
Please recycle.
WARNINGS:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result
in injury or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode.
Spotlight Bulb Replacement
To replace the bulb, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver and a 6 volt, H3 55 watt replacement bulb. During installation, avoid
touching the glass part of the bulb. Bulb life may be shortened by installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be
wiped clean with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
