Options & Specifications
1. Allow 10 minutes for unit to cool. Remove the 3 screws on the underside of base plate. Holding the lens and
the base together, turn the unit right side up and lift off the lens.
2. Remove the retaining clip (reference #5 on page 8).
3. Lift lamp and reflector assembly until the lamp comes free from its connector.
4. Use ONLY 55-watt H1 type halogen lamps (Phillips #12258, Osram #64150 or equivalent). Higher wattage
lamps will cause damage to the DashLaser unit and void the warranty.
5. Do not touch the new lamp with your bare fingers. This will damage the lamp and shorten its life. If touched
accidently, it should be gently wiped off with alcohol and a soft cloth.
Maintenance
CAUTION: Allow the unit to cool for 10 minutes before attempting any maintenance.
The DashLaser
® requires very little routine maintenance. Occasional cleaning of the dome and reflector is
all that is necessary to maintain maximum light output. Use plain water and a soft cloth, or Code 3 ® polish
and very soft paper towel or facial tissue. Since plastic scratches easily, we recommend cleaning only when
necessary.
!
WARNING!
Never activate the light with the dome removed!
Changing the Lamp
!
WARNING!
Lamps are extremely hot! Allow to cool completely before attempting to remove. Gloves
and eye protection should be worn when handling halogen lamps as they are pressurized
and accidental breakage can result in flying glass.
Halogen lamps are pressurized, and get very hot when operating. The H1 halogen lamp is sensitive to natural
oils in your skin. Be sure not to touch the lamp when cleaning the reflector. If it is touched accidentally, gently
wipe off any fingerprints with alcohol and a soft cloth before replacing the dome and activating the light.
Do not oil the gears or bearings for any reason. Gears and bearings in the DashLaser are permanently
lubricated. Oiling them will actually shorten the service life of the unit. They may periodically be wiped or
blown clean, but this is not usually necessary.
