Install Riser
Pass the supply wire from the luminaire through the center hole on the Y
bracket and the riser. Then thread the riser onto the Y bracket and hand
tighten until snug.
Install Stake
Determine the desired location for mounting the stake. Hammer the stake into
the ground until flange of stake is flush to grade. To avoid damage to the
stake, place a board on top of the stake while hammering.
Note: If the ground is hard and the stake is difficult to install, make a
crosscut in the ground using a flat shovel.
Install Riser to Stake
Clear away area in the ground at wireway slot on the top of the stake. Pass
the fixture supply wire through the center hole of the stake and lay it into
the wireway slots. Thread the riser onto the stake. Hand tighten until
snug.
Wire Connections
Strip both leads from the luminaire pigtail. Using two UL listed wire connectors (sold separately), connect the leads from the luminaire to the main supply cable leads.
- We recommend ace heat shrink style connectors for hardscape connections.
Adjust Lamp Direction
Using an Allen wrench, loosen the set screws on the ends of the lamp and then rotate the lamp to the desired direction. Always tighten the set screws after adjustments.
