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.

must be evenly discharged. Do not mix bat-
teries that are in different states of charge.
