Pre-Installation
PLANNING INSTALLATION
- Read all instructions before installation.
- To avoid damaging this product, assemble it on a soft, non-abrasive surface, such as carp et or cardboard.
- Keep your receipt and these instructions for proof of purchase.
NOTE : The batteries come pre-charged but some discharge may happen during storage or transit.
HOW SOLAR WORKS
During daylight hours, the sun will charge the batteries in the solar panel and the lights will turn on at dusk. Light output depends upon how much light the solar panel receives. Position the solar panel so that it receives maximum sunlight. If there are street lights or other lighting that could shine directly into or near the solar panel, these lights may trigger the light sensor and the lights may turn off. The solar panel must sense darkness to operate.

INSTALLATION
Assembling the solar lights
- Insert the bottom of the solar light (A) into the top of the pole (B).
- Remove the ground stake (C) from the bottom of the pole (B).
- Insert the top of the ground stake (C) into the bottom of the pole (B).
- 1002067336S-4pk – Repeat this step for each solar light (A), pole (B), and ground stake (C).
Preparing the solar panels
NOTE : To allow each battery to reach full capacity and perform
correctly, pull out the plastic tab and place the solar light in full sunlight
for the first 12 hours. Failure to do so can shorten the life of the battery or
operation of the light. On cloudy or rainy days it may take several days for
the batteries to fully charge.
NOTE : To protect the solar panel from damage, do not force during
assembly. keep the plastic shades in the packaging until you need to install
them.
- Twist off the top of the solar light (A) and remove the tab from the battery compartment (1) located on the underside of the solar panel top.
- Twist the top of the solar light back on.
- 1002067336S-4pk – Repeat these steps for each solar light.
Installing the solar lights
NOTE : To protect the solar panel from damage, do not force during assembly. keep the plastic shades in the packaging until you need to install them.
- Prepare a hole in the ground for each solar light. Use a tool such as a screwdriver to prepare the installation hole to ensure that the hole is not larger than the ground stake (C).
- Insert the solar light assembly into the prepared hole.
Maintenance
REPLACING THE BATTERY
- WARNING : Only use NiMh rechareable batteries with these solar lights. Do not mix battery types.
- CAUTION : Do not use a smaller mAh battery as it will affect performance. Larger mAh batteries are acceptable. Ensure you have positioned the batteries with the correct polarity (+) and (-).
- NOTE : Battery performance is affected by weather and temperature. Expect reduced performance in adverse conditions of cold, extreme cold, extreme heat, plus humidity and dampness.
- Twist off the top of the solar light assembly and remove the battery cover.
- Remove theold batteries and clean the battery contacts on the new batteries and the solar lights.
- Replace with new 3.2V 14430 Lithium rechargeable batteries.
- Replace the battery cover.
- Twist the top of the solar head back onto the top of the solar light assembly.
Care and Cleaning
- It is recommended that solar lights not be used in freezing conditions. Monitor weather and take solar items indoors for storage as needed. Keep snow or other build-up off the solar panels so that the batteries can recharge.
- Remove batteries from equipment that will not be used for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| The solar lights do not come on. | Check to ensure there are no obstructions |
over the top of the solar panel.
Check to ensure that the batteries are installed correctly and there is
nothing blocking the battery terminals from making contact.
Check to ensure the solar panel is positioned to sense both daylight and night
time. If bright lights shine near or into the solar panel, these lights may
trigger the light sensor and the lights may turn off. Bright lights can act
like daylight and keep the system from starting.
Batteries may need to be changed and vary by use, temperature, weather
conditions, and heat. Replace the batteries with the exact same type of
rechargeable batteries.
Ensure the batteries are fully charged. It is important to charge the
batteries for 12 hours in full sun before usage. Cloudy or rainy days may
require a longer charging time.
In some cases, you may have to open the battery compartment and position the
batteries correctly between metal clips as some dislodging may occur during
the shipment. Also ensure the correct polarity (+) and (-).
Cloudy or rainy days generate far less charge on the solar panel and thus
fewer hours of operation. Prolonged cloudy or rainy days can affect
performance dramatically.
