Tips to Avoid Damage to Your
Dual Xenon Spotlight• Never attempt to wipe or clean the inner reflective surface of the reflector.
Touching or wiping the surface will damage it permanently.
• The lens is made of tempered glass. Avoid dropping or sharp impact on
spotlight to prevent damage.
• Do not allow hot lens to come in contact with water or materials subject to
heat damage.
• The spotlight is weather resistant. It is not waterproof. Do not use the
spotlight under water or store outdoors.
• Use only Brinkmann xenon bulb that is designed for your Dual Xenon
spotlight. Use of any other bulb may result in poor performance and may
damage your spotlight.
• After months of use, cigarette lighters can build up corrosion that may
prevent the DC lighter plug from making good contact. It may be necessary
to clean the inside of your cigarette lighter receptacle with a fine emery
cloth. Before cleaning receptacle, remove the fuse to prevent it from
shorting out.
