6. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is rec-
ommended every two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharger and
charge for the recommended time. If the unit gets dirty gently clean the outer surface of
the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
Periodically inspect the condition of recharge adapters, connectors, and wires. Replace
any components that may have become worn or broken.
7. PARTS REPLACEMENT
Three parts are replaceable by users. The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid battery
are proprietary and are available through Vector Manufacturing. A substitute 12 volt H3
100 watt bulb may be used instead of a Vector bulb. These can also be purchased from pop-
ular automotive parts suppliers nationwide. The DC charging adapter fuse is replaceable.
Contact Vector Manufacturing’s Technical Support Department for replacement parts and
any additional information that you may need. They may be reached toll free
(866) 584-5504.
7.1 DC PLUG FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC recharge adapter. 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 charging adapter.
7.2 SPOTLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To replace the H3 type 12 volt bulb, you will need a small Phillips-head type screwdriv-
er and a replacement bulb.
