Before Use
Charge battery before first use. To prevent accidental discharge of the battery in transit, the switch is locked in the OFF position.

The stainless steel lock screw in front of the handle interlocks with the operating switch. Screw anti-clockwise to lock the lamp enclosure and
release the operating switch. The lock key provided must be kept in a non-hazardous area.
WARNING: The Lock Screw bush can be dislodged if overtightened. Switch ‘OFF’ before screwing the Lock Screw down.
To Operate and Dismantle the Switch
The switch operates transversely, as indicated on the approval label. It consists of a magnet, a plastic housing and a cap. To replace, the old cap is
prised off and the housing removed. The new switch housing/magnet is fitted to the body before the cap is ‘snapped’ in place.
To Open the Lamp
Unlock as above, unscrew the lens ring from the body to gain access to all internal parts.
To Replace the Bulb
The bulb (3.6 Volts, 1.0 Amp) is retained by the screwed centre contact at the back of the reflector.
To Replace the Glass Disc and/or Reflector
The toughened glass disc and reflector are secured in the lens ring by the reflector retaining ring. The battery retainer (H-251 MkI/ Mk2 only) is
‘snap’ fitted in the lens ring, remove before unscrewing the reflector retaining ring. All parts must be cleaned and the rubber washer centralised
before re-assembly. A key is available for fastening/unfastening this assembly.

battery pack and spring contacts prior to fitting. The H-251E battery pack is deep discharge protected, it will switch off after approximately four
hours duration, preventing damage to the battery.
