Mr.$LongArm$Smart$Bulb$Changer$Kit$Instructions$
$
Mr.$LongArm$bulb$changers$and$bulb$changing$extension$poles$are$non-conductive$
which$means$they$won’t$conduct$electricity$as$long$as$they$are$completely$dry.$
Having$said$that$you$should$always$turn$off$your$light$switch$before$changing$any$
bulb!$Also,$use$safety$goggles$when$changing$light$bulbs$just$in$case$one$breaks$
while$you$are$working$with$it,$better$safe$than$sorry!$
$
The$Smart$bulb$changer$kit$fits$incandescent,$spotlight$and$floodlight$bulbs$you’ll$
have$one$handle$and$three$different$sized$cups.$To$change$cups$simply$pull$the$lock$
clip$at$the$top$of$the$handle$out$and$the$cup$and$pin$will$lift$off$the$top$of$the$handle.$
Now$insert$the$desired$cup$size$and$replace$the$lock$clip.$Be$sure$not$to$loose$the$pin$
as$it$controls$the$suction$when$using$the$bulb$changer.$
$
$
$
$
Typically$the$small$red$cup$is$for$incandescents,$the$medium$blue$cup$is$for$
spotlights$and$the$large$yellow$cup$is$for$floodlights$and$larger$spotlight$bulbs.$$
$

Next$you’ll$want$to$attach$the$bulb$changer$handle$to$your$extension$pole.$If$you’ve$
purchased$one$of$our$non-conductive$extension$poles$it$will$have$a$hole$drilled$
through$the$threaded$end$to$accept$a$lock$clip$which$keeps$it$from$loosening$during$
bulb$removal.$Just$tighten$down$the$bulb$changer$handle$by$screwing$it$on$
clockwise,$making$sure$the$hole$in$the$bottom$of$the$handle$aligns$with$the$hole$in$
the$threaded$end$on$the$pole$and$insert$the$lock$clip.$$
$
If$you$don’t$have$one$of$our$non-conductive$poles$just$be$sure$to$tighten$down$the$
handle$by$screwing$it$on$clockwise,$very$firmly$to$avoid$having$it$unscrew$when$
removing$light$bulbs.$Mr.$LongArm’s$heavy$duty$poles$do$have$a$lok-thread$which$
will$keep$the$bulb$changer$handle$from$loosening$if$it$is$firmly$screwed$down.$
$
Adjust$your$extension$pole$to$the$height$needed$to$comfortably$reach$the$bulb.$Now$
make$sure$the$inside$of$the$cup$is$clean,$we$suggest$wiping$it$down$with$a$damp$
cloth.$The$moisture$will$also$help$you$get$a$good$suction$on$the$bulb.$Also$make$sure$
the$pin$is$engaged$so$the$hole$in$the$cup$is$closed,$otherwise$you$won’t$be$able$to$get$
suction$on$the$bulb.$$
$
Align$the$bulb$changer$directly$below$the$bulb$and$lift$it$up$to$the$bulb$and$push$to$
attain$suction.$Once$you$are$sure$you$have$good$suction$unscrew$the$light$bulb$by$
turning$it$to$the$left$and$carefully$lower$the$bulb.$To$release$the$suction$hold$the$
bulb$and$cup$and$pull$down$on$the$handle,$this$will$disengage$the$pin$and$the$bulb$
will$release.$
$
Now$you’re$ready$to$put$the$new$bulb$in$place.$Hold$it$in$your$hand$and$push$the$
bulb$changer$up$to$it$to$attain$suction,$check$to$make$sure$its$secure$and$raise$the$
bulb$up$to$the$fixture.$Screw$the$bulb$in$place$by$turning$it$to$the$right,$don’t$over-
tighten.$To$release$the$suction$pull$down$on$the$handle,$this$will$disengage$the$pin$
and$the$bulb$will$release.$$
$

Sometimes$you$may$encounter$a$bulb$that$has$corroded$in$place$or$one$that$has$
been$over-tightened$and$you$may$have$to$remove$those$bulbs$by$hand.$But$you$
should$be$able$to$install$the$new$bulb$with$your$Mr.$LongArm$bulb$changer.$
