MAIN FUSE

This unit is delivered with the main fuse taped to the bottom of the unit. It must be inserted as indicated prior to operation.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. It must be fully charged prior to first use by either the 120 volt AC method (preferred) or the 12 volt DC method.

After initial charging, the VEC189 can be simultaneously recharged and operated

(using the 12 Volt DC method only). Make sure the 12 volt DC power source can supply minimum 15 amperes of current if the Spotlight is to be operated while the batteries are being charged.

After charging, disconnect the Adapter from the external power source, then disconnect the Adapter from the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet.

12 VOLT DC

ADAPTER

120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging

Plug the supplied 120 Volt AC Adapter’s plug into a standard North American outlet. Connect the adapter’s DC port to the AC Recharge Port located on the top/rear of the grip handle. The LED will light to indicate that the unit is charging. Time required to initially charge the unit using this method is approximately 30 to 35 hours. The LED Charging

Indicator will blink when the unit is fully charged. The

Spotlight cannot be used while recharging using this method.

12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging

The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the

12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.

1. Insert the gold-tipped end plug of the12 Volt DC

Adapter plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.

2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet on the back of the handle of the unit.

3. Charging time using this method is approximately 5 to 6 hours.

4. When charging is complete, remove the power cord and return it to the storage compartment.

Note: When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging/power source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned on to power the accessory outlet.

CAUTION

Before charging/recharging the unit’s battery, make sure all power switches are in the OFF position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Spotlight

The quartz halogen Spotlight is operated by the two switches located on the side of the unit. The top ON/OFF Switch controls the high beam (100 watt) function; the bottom ON/OFF Switch controls the low beam (approx. 50 watt) function.

Using the 3-LED Auxiliary Light

The 3-LED Auxiliary Light is operated by the LED Auxiliary Light ON/OFF Pushbutton located on the top of the grip handle.

Using the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet

The 12 volt DC accessory outlet powers any DC appliance that does not exceed

5 amps. Flip up the accessory outlet cover and insert the appliance’s DC plug. Close the cover after use.

Using the Adjustable Workstand

Set the hands-free adjustable workstand to the desired position; then turn the knobs on either side of the unit to lock in position.

Replacement Parts

The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid batteries are available through Vector

Manufacturing. A comparable (12 volt H4 100 watt) bulb may be substituted. These can also be purchased from popular automotive parts suppliers nationwide. Contact

Vector Manufacturing’s Technical Support Department for replacement parts

(including replacement adapters and cords) and any additional information that you may need. They may be reached at (954) 584-4446 or toll free at (866) 584-5504.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of shocks or burns and avoid damage to the unit, make sure all power switches are in the OFF position, all adapters are unplugged and the unit has been allowed to cool down before performing any maintenance/parts replacement.

Bulb Replacement

1. Remove the rubber bezel on the rim of the Spotlight to reveal eight small Phillips screws in the retaining ring.

2. Using a screwdriver, remove (counterclockwise) the screws and set them aside.

3. Lift off the retaining ring, glass lens and rubber “O” ring and set them aside.

4. Carefully remove the reflector and bulb assembly.

5. Disconnect the bulb from the guarding wires and replace the burned out bulb with one of the same type listed in the Specifications section of this manual.

6. Reassemble the guarding wires, put back the reflector, rubber “O” ring and the lens.

7. Replace rubber bezel by sliding forward to the front of the spotlight.

8. Turn one of the spotlight’s ON/OFF switches to the ON position to ensure proper operation of spotlight.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All batteries lose charge with time. AC recharge is recommended after each use or every two months when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharger and charge for the recommended time.

If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the Spotlight with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Periodically inspect the condition of recharge adapters, connectors, and wires. Replace any components that may have become worn or broken.

Failure to comply with local, state and federal regulations can result in fines, or imprisonment. For more information on recycling this battery, call toll-free (877) 288-7722.

DC Plug Fuse Replacement

The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC recharge adapter. If the AC recharger operates but the DC charging adapter does not, then the fuse may be opened.

To replace the fuse:

1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).

2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.

3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.

4. If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type and rating.

5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.

6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

7. Check for proper operation of DC charging adapter.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• No Charge Indicator Light

If the Charge Indicator LED does not light when charging do the following:

A) Check for bad connection to the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet

B) Check for bad connection to AC or DC adapters

C) Confirm there is a functioning AC or DC current

Operating Issues

1. When charging using the 120 volt AC method, the Spotlight will not operate.

The Auxiliary Light will turn on when pressed while charging. Be sure all adapters are disconnected before Spotlight usage.

2. If the unit does not operate, the battery may be completely discharged. Charge the unit using the AC adapter following the directions in the manual.

3. If you suspect a bulb is blown, check the bulb filament. If filament is coiled and unbroken, the bulb is not blown. If filament is blown, replace bulb.

4. If you suspect the main fuse is blown, check it and, if necessary, replace with a new 20 amp spade fuse.
