time. Therefo r e, although the bulb appears to be

functioning it should be replaced ev e ry season to

maintain optimal “blacklight” effectiveness.

power cord.

Close hood, secure with latch, connect power cord and

return the on/off switch to the “on” position.

b. Open hood latch and raise hood to an upright position.
