lighter plug adapter.

• The lens can become very hot during operation, and can cause burns to skin and
objects. Never touch the lens, and do not allow any objects to touch the lens during
operation.
MAINTENANCE & USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. Lamp and Ballast Maintenance:
• Make sure power is off before performing any maintenance on the fixture. HID
fixtures produce extremely high voltage (greater than 24,000V) during operation.
• Remove the lensframe screw and nut, and set them aside for reuse later.
• Gently flex the lensframe outward, and pull it straight off. Be careful not to twist or
deform the lensframe when removing it.
• The lamp is attached to the reflector with one screw. If the lamp requires
replacement, then simply remove the mounting screw, replace the old lamp with a
new one, and replace the mounting screw. Make sure that the new lamp is oriented in
the same direction as the old lamp.
• The lamp and ballast are connected by wires with quick-connects. If any of these
wires are damaged, then both the ballast and lamp must be replaced. Do not attempt
to repair damaged wires.
• The ballast is held in place with a flexible bracket. To remove the ballast, simply
spread the bracket, and pull the ballast straight out. Install a new ballast by spreading
the bracket and pushing the ballast straight in until it clicks and locks in place.
• When maintenance has been completed, first ensure that all connections are secured
properly before proceeding.
