Setup Instructions
- Decide where you want to place the Solar Light. Choose a location that receives full, direct sunlight a minimum of 8 hours a day. The location should not be near nighttime light sources such as porch lights or streetlights as this will cause the Solar Light to remain off.
- Confirm that the location is clear of lines, cables and conduits.
- Pull the Stake off the Pole.
- With a rubber mallet (not included), gently tap the Stake into the ground.
- Once the Stake is securely in the ground, attach the Pole and then attach the upper Solar Light housing onto the top of the Stake.
- Pull out the battery tab from the underside of the Solar Light housing and allow at least 24 hours charge time before first use.
Operating Instructions
Note: During the day, the Solar Light converts sunlight into electricity, recharging the battery. The amount of light the Solar Light receives depends on the placement of the Solar Light, geographic location, and weather. If the weather is cloudy and the light does not receive a full charge, the Solar Light may not achieve the full run time. It will catch up after two to three days of full sun.
- After a full 8 hours of sunlight charging, the Light will automatically turn ON during the night.
- After the initial charge is set, confirm that the Light is on by viewing it at night or in a dark location. If it is not lit, check that the Solar Light has had full sunlight for 8 hours and that the battery tab is removed.
Maintenance
-
Clean regularly with a damp towel. Do not clean with solvent. Do not put too much pressure on the Solar Light or accessories while cleaning. Dry thoroughly.
