8 - Maintenance and Servicing 

 

In order to prolong the service life and performance of your searchlight, the following maintenance 

guidelines are recommended: 
 

„

 

Maintenance checks should be conducted before very voyage or at least every three months; 

„

 

Before checking, disconnect the equipment from the supply;

 

„

 

Visually inspect the condition of the equipment;

 

„

 

Any major or minor structural damage should be rectified immediately in order to reduce 

sympathetic wear;

 

„

 

After inspection it may be necessary to clean the inside of the searchlight. The following 

procedure should be adhered to:

 

„

 

Remove the front bezel;

 

„

 

Clean the front glass inside and out using a proprietary glass cleaner or metal 
polish;

 

„

 

Clean the reflector if required;

 

„

 

Check the reflector mounting gaskets. If signs of corrosion or damage are 

evident, replace as necessary;

 

„

 

Ensure that the lampholder is free from corrosion or other damage;

 

„

 

Check earthing point for conductivity;

 

„

 

It is advisable to check all seals and gaskets for signs of degradation. Renew if necessary; 

„

 

The searchlight is fitted with a breather unit. This ensures a steady airflow in order to prevent 
any vacuum forming within the barrel.  

„

 

Upon completing all maintenance requirements the searchlight should be tested for full working 

order (approximately 20 minutes).

 

 

If in any doubt as to the correct servicing procedures to adopt please contact your 
distributor/agent or the manufacturer who will be able to advise the best course of action for 

your product.
