Annual maintenance of P-LIGHT®
Checkthatboltedjoints,thebox,pushbuons,
lid seal, baery aachment, etc. are not
damagedorhavenotworkedloose.
Check that cables, connectors, baery
terminals,etc.arenotdamagedoroxidised,
etc.
To prevent corrosion, cable terminals,
connectors, baery terminals, etc. may be
lubricatedwithcontactgrease,whiteVaseline
orsimilarifnecessary.
Checkthecapacityofthebaeriesbycarrying
out load tesng using the designated test
equipment.ThiswillensurethatP-LIGHT®has
sucient baery capacity for the intended
purpose(+margin).
