SAFE OPERATIONS (IMPORTANT)
•Never short-circuit the terminal of the battery pack and the plug of the
battery charger. It may cause the battery to over heat, resulting in fire or
damage of the components.
• Securely connect the plug so that the light will not turn off while riding,
or the cord will not hinder riding.
•Never use the ABS if the cord of the battery charger or the switch unit is
damaged, Consult with the shop where this lamp kit was purchased.
• The lamp body becomes extremely hot when turned on. Never touch the
lamp body or the lens until thoroughly cooled. Injury may result.
• Use only the designated battery charger for charging.
•Never mix different types of battery packs.
• Safely and properly dispose of the old battery according to your local regula-
tions when it comes to the end of its useful life.
• This lamp kit is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with-
out supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with this applince.
• The battery’s nature will affect the light output, High light output will remain
just before the battery runs out, After that the output drops suddenly. Take
precautions against such a situation and prepare a spare light or spare bat-
tery packs.
• Long periods of non-use will lower the voltage of the battery and will naturally
self discharge. Always charge the battery before using.
•Overdischarge (leaving the light on after the power is completely gone) short-
ens the performance life of the battery.
• If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc., clean with a soft cloth
which is moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alco-
hol; damage will result.
