COMPATIBILITY

IMPORTANT:
Attwood PowerBase Light poles are compatible with and solely designed for use with Attwood PowerBase Light (6100-LT Series). Not for use with any other fixtured products. Please refer to the user manual included with your PowerBase for attaching PowerBase to your vessel and proper base wiring.

INSTALLING LIGHT POLE TO POWERBASE

1. Prior to installing the pole to the PowerBase Unit, route the wires coming from the bottom of the pole through the PowerBase Break Away hole.
2. Connect the pin connectors to the associated receptacles on the PowerBase wire harness as shown in Figure C & D.
3. Utilizing the included installation tool to guide the connectors into the light pole so that the white jacket on the PowerBase wire harness is approximately an inch into the pole. See Figure E.
4. Remove the installation tool and insert the pole into the PowerBase Unit, aligning the fastener hole within the pole to the fastener hole within the PowerBase Unit.
   • Masthead Light: Align the pole so that the Attwood Shield faces toward the bow of the vessel.
   • All-Round Light: Adjust the alignment nut so that the Light head is parallel to the resting float position of the vessel.
5. Apply PTFE waterproof lubricant to the included fastener, then utilizing a non-ferrous bit tighten the screw so that the fastener head is fully bottomed out.

TEST THE POWERBASE

1. Positional Switch:
   Activate the deploy state on the switch, then visually confirm that the PowerBase unit has fully moved to the deployed state. Repeat this process to return the unit to the stowed state.

2. PowerBase Light

   • Activate the on state from the Navigational Light switch, then visually confirm that the Navigation Light has turned on.
   • With the Positional Switch in the stowed state, confirm that the LED backlight on the Positional Switch is blinking, denoting the ready-to-deploy status.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

Annual Maintenance
In order to reduce free play and extend the life of your PowerBase system, it’s important to tighten the breakaway fasteners to the required torque values shown in Figure F at the beginning and end of the boating season, or at least once a year. Take care not to over-tighten the fasteners, and to tighten them specifically to the value required for your application system.

Manual Position Override
If necessary, your PowerBase’s position can be manually adjusted to either the stowed or deployed position by following the steps shown in Figure G. Take care to tighten the fasteners to the torque values shown in Figure F.

SafeGuard Breakaway Shear Pin Replacement
In the event of an impact, your PowerBase unit is equipped with the SafeGuard Breakaway feature, helping minimize the damage to the Vessel, PowerBase, and Light/Antenna. Once SafeGuard Breakaway has been engaged, you’ll need to replace the shear pin with a new Attwood PowerBase Shear Pin (Attwood Part Number: 6001-7). See Figure H for the steps needed to remove and install your new shear pin. Take care not to discard the cover fastener during replacement, and always remember to tighten the fasteners back to the required torque values shown in Figure F.

• STEP 1: REMOVE THE COVER, SHEAR PIN, AND BINDING POST.
• STEP 3: INSTALL A NEW SHEAR PIN AND BINDING POST. RE-INSTALL COVER.
