SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• RISK OF EXPLOSION: This equipment has internal arcing

or sparking parts that should not be exposed to flammable
vapors. It should be located in an area providing at least
four air changes per hour, or should be located at least
18 inches above the floor.

• Do not touch the glass UV filter while in use.
• Use for a maximum of 5 minutes and allow a 10-minute

cooling period before restarting. A series of short

inspection intervals are recommended.

• Do not secure the momentary ON/OFF switch in the ON

position. This will void the lamp’s warranty.

• Always disconnect the lamp from the power source

and allow it to cool to the touch before storing or
disassembling.

OPERATION
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Add fluorescent dye to the system. For best results, use

OEM-approved Tracerline

®

Fluoro-Lite

®

and Dye-Lite

®

dyes.

3. Run the engine and/or system for 5 to 10 minutes to circulate

the dye. Turn off the engine.

4. Connect the battery clips to any 12-volt vehicle battery or

regulated 12 VDC, 5 amp power source.

5. Do not look directly into the UV light. You must wear the

TP-9939 UV-absorbing clear glasses supplied with the
lamp to protect your eyes.

6. Scan the system with the lamp. Leaks will show with a bright

fluorescent glow. The leaks will show best under low light
conditions.

7. After the leaks are repaired, clean off the dye residue with

GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner and reinspect with the lamp.

TO REPLACE THE FILTER LENS
Use only the TP-1712 filter lens.
1. Twist off the filter lens holder (1) and remove the retaining

ring (3) to release the filter lens (2).

2. Using a clean cloth, press the new filter lens into the holder

and replace the retaining ring.

3. Make sure the IR deflector (4) is resting on the reflector (7)

above the bulb.

4. Align the filter lens holder into the notches on the lamp and

twist the holder back into place.

TO REPLACE THE BULB
Use only the 50-watt TP-1510 bulb. Using any other bulb
may damage the lamp and will void the warranty.
1. Remove the filter assembly. Pull the bulb (5) from inside

the reflector.

2. Using a clean cloth, press the new bulb through the bulb

support (6) and reflector into the bi-pin socket (8) firmly
but gently.

3. Replace the IR deflector and reattach the filter/lens assembly.
NOTE: A discolored UV bulb indicates that replacement is
necessary. The average rated life of the bulb is 50 hours.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read all instructions.
2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot

parts.

3. Do not operate the lamp with a damaged cord or if the lamp

has been damaged.

4. Do not let the cord hang over edge of table, bench or counter,

or come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.

5. To protect against risk of fire, do not operate the lamp in the

vicinity of open containers of fuel (gasoline).

6. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on

operating combustion engines.

Do not use below garage floor or grade level.

AVERTISSEMENT

• RISQUE D’EXPLOSION. Cet équipement contient des

pièces pouvant émettre un arc électrique ou des étincelles
qui ne doivent pas entrer en contact avec des vapeurs
inflammables. Il doit être utilisé dans un espace dans
lequel l'air est au moins renouvelé quatre fois par heure
ou doit être surélevé de 46 cm au moins au-dessus du sol.

• Ne pas toucher le filtre en verre à rayons ultraviolets

pendant l’utilisation.

• Utiliser la lampe pendant 5 minutes au maximum et

laissez-la refroidir pendant 10 minutes avant de la
réutiliser. Des inspections, brèves et intermittentes
réduiront l’accumulation de chaleur et augmenteront la
durée d’utilisation de l’ampoule.

• L'interrupteur temporaire MARCHE/ARRÊT (ON/OFF) ne

doit pas être verrouillé en position MARCHE (ON). Ceci
annulera la garantie de la lampe.

• Toujours débrancher la lampe de sa source d'alimentation

électrique et la laisser se refroidir jusqu'à pouvoir la
toucher avant de la ranger ou de la démonter.
