PARTS LIST:
1. Headlight set w/ wiring harness and switch. 2. Water bottle battery
3. Charger 4. Parts bag with Long Arm Mounts.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Place waterbottle battery into a water bottle cage on the downtube
of the bike. Excess battery wire can be pushed back into the cap on the water
bottle. In rough terrain strap bottle to cage with a toe clip strap.
NIGHTSUN batteries will operate properly in any position or location. 10"
and 21" Extension wire are available (see order from) if battery is mounted
anywhere other than the recommended location on the down tube.
SECURE WIRES
Secure with cable ties. Be sure to allow sufficient slack so wires
do not limit movement of handle bars. Make sure wires will not be snagged
by brush, or other bikes etc. Check shifter and break cables for interference
and reroute as required. Make sure noting limits free movement of handle
bars.
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Batteries are shipped with little or no charge and must be charged
prior to use. Fully discharged batteries (new purchase or little or
no light) should be charged 18-20 hours minimum. Batteries that will put
out some light require 14-16 hours minimum.
THERE IS NO NEED TO FULLY DISCHARGE BATTERY PRIOR TO EACH RECHARGE. AVOID
100% DISCHARGE IF POSSIBLE.
Nightsun 110 volt or 240 volt chargers cannot over charge the
battery, Ni-Cad batteries will become warm to the touch when fully
charged. there is no advantage in continuing to charge
a warm Ni-cad battery, but no harm either. Ni-Cad batteries require
no special storage conditions and may be stored charged or discharged.
Note: All batteries self discharge, i.e. lose power in storage at 1-2% per
day depending on temperature. Higher storage temperatures result in higher
self discharge rates. For maximum runtime charge batteries shortly before
use. After extended storage recharging is recommended for best results.
NOTE: Low beam is one lamp, the flood, Hi beam is both lamps.
XC systems provide 3.5-4.0 hours on low beam, or 45 minutes on hi-beam.
CONTINUOUS USE OF HI BEAM IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Continuous use of High
Beam will shorten battery life and void warranty. Each minute on high beam
equals 4.5 minutes on low beam.
