Maintenance
WARNING!
Conducting maintenance to the light or charger when connected to a live
electrical source may result in serious injury or death. Always unplug the
light and charger before conducting maintenance. Always remove the
battery from the charger when conducting maintenance.
Due to the inherent long life that comes with using LED’s, there is very little
maintenance required. When the light requires cleaning, wipe down with a
mild soap and water mixture only. Do not use industrial strength or other
chemical cleaners as this may damage the light.
Conducting repairs to the light, batteries, or charger may void the product warranty.
