Inspection and Maintenance
Battery Pack – See Warnings Section for more information. Periodically (approximately
every month) remove the battery pack from the flashlight and visually inspect for signs
of gas or chemical leakage. Indications of leakage are discoloration of the plastic sleeve
or white fuzzy material near the top (positive button) of each cell. Another indication
would be a bulging deformation of the bottom (negative flat end) of the cell can. If
these signs are observed the battery pack should be removed from service to prevent
chemical damage to the inside of the flashlight. See One Year Battery Pack Warranty
for more information concerning warranty coverage.
Fully Charged Battery Storage – If you do not use your flashlight for long periods of
time (four months or more) we suggest you remove the battery pack from the flashlight
to prevent chemical damage (acid leaks). Electrical Contacts – The bare (bright) metal

several drops of clean petroleum oil or jelly to these surfaces two or three times a
year. Anodized Exterior Finish – The protective finish on the flashlight is very durable;
however, constant exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, gases, etc., will dull, discolor
and eventually destroy the protective finish. Care should be taken to avoid any harsh
environment.
