To gain access to the bulbs in the reading lights on the bottom of the overhead lockers
you must remove the lens. The lenses are removed by turning counterclockwise about
slightly. The bulb, like other flat base bulbs, pulls straight out of the socket.
WARNING: If they are difficult to turn, use a folded rag to protect your
hand when grasping the bulb in case it should unexpectedly shatter.
The ceiling and wardrobe light lenses are removed by squeezing the sides of the lens in
until they clear the frame. In cold weather it is helpful to leave the light on for a while to
soften the plastic and avoid cracking. Incandescent bulbs are removed by depressing
and turning to the left about 1/4 turn. Fluorescent bulbs are removed by turning in
either direction.
WARNING: Always replace the light bulb on an interior or exterior light
fixture with the correct bulb for that light. Failure to heed this warning could
cause fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
All the batteries are located in a lower compartment behind the curbside rear wheels.
The auxillary batteries are stored on a slide out tray.
