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 plugs and belts 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 dam-
aged, 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.
• Safely and properly dispose of the old battery according to your local regulations when
it comes to the end of its useful life.
• This lamp kit is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without super-
vision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
• As the unique characteristics of the rechargeable battery, the light output will remain
high just until the batteries run out and then drop suddenly. Take precautions against
such a situation or against a sudden blowout of the bulb, and prepare a spare light or
spare battery packs.
• A long period of non-use will lower the voltage of the battery due to natural self dis-
charge. Always charge the battery before using.
• Overdischarge (leaving the light on after the power is completely gone) shortens the
performance life of the battery.
• If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc., gently wipe it away with a dish
towel which is moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol;
damage will result.

BEAM Spot Beam (20W) Wide Beam (10W) Spot + Wide
RUN TIME 1.5 hrs 3.0 hrs 1.0 hr
Note: The run time shown here is the calculated figure. (When two battery packs are used.)
Adjust the angle of the beam downward so that it will not dazzle the oncoming traffic.
The light can also be adjusted 10
° horizontally. To do so, raise the quick lever.
HOW TO SETUP
Attach the brackets (H-30 x 2 pieces) to the
handlebar. Turn over the quick lever and it is fas-
tened.
Slide the lamp units onto the brackets. To remove
the lamp body, slide it forward while pushing the
lever.
Attention: When removing the lamp body,
make sure that it has been
cooled.
How to distinguish the spot bulb from the
wide bulb: the inside reflective mirror of the
spot bulb is more finely cut.
Attach the switch unit onto the handlebar where
it will not hinder the braking and shifting opera-
tion.
Connect the battery packs, joint cord and the switch
unit as illustrated. If you are using only one battery
pack, connect the relay plug directly to the battery pack.
Caution:
• Secure the cord along the frame with the cord belt,
so that it will not hinder riding.
• Wind the cord round the frame so that it will
not hinder riding. Securely connect the jacks
to the plug.

burned.
Note:
• When the charging is finished, the indicator
turns from red to green.
• Depending on the use environment, the
charging time will vary.
If the batteries do not serve proper run time
even if they are correctly charged, it means
they are at the end of the useful life.

neously.
HOW TO REPLACE THE BULB
Disassemble the lamp unit as illustrated.
