INSTRUCTIONS
- Installing your Dream light A complete installation video is available at www.ServiceFirstProducts.com.
- These instructions will work for both Telescoping and Sectional Flagpoles. There may be slight differences between the actual installation and the graphics/instructions below.
- Lower or remove your flagpole from the ground sleeve so you can access the top of the flagpole. Remove the current finial (gold ball/eagle) and all flags from your flagpole.
- Using the Star Bolt (D), thread a nut (E) on the upper and lower threads of the Bolt, add a washer and slide through the Light Distributor (A), and screw securely to the top of your flagpole. (see diagram below) IMPORTANT Hand tightens ONLY!
- Install the Star Finial (C) onto the Star Bolt (D) and use Nut & Washer (E) to secure. Important Hand tightens ONLY!
- Connect the Star Finial power cord to the correlated power supply coming from the Light Distributor.
- LIGHTS LIGHTS: If you have a telescoping flagpole extend each section until the flagpole is at the desired height. If you have a Sectional Flagpole, with the help of another adult raise the flagpole and place it into the ground sleeve with the Dream lights installed.
- The Large zip-tie (H) can be used to secure the receiver to the flagpole. The receiver hangs from the Light Distributor and can be used to control the lights without the remote control. The button on the receiver functions like the Mode button on the remote.
- Untie and pull the strands away from the flagpole. Temporarily stake the strands to the ground using the included tie-down stakes (F). This will keep the strands from getting tangled. Raise or extend your flagpole. Re-adjust the stakes to the desired diameter and location. The included small zip-ties (G) can be used to ensure the light strands stay connected to the stakes if necessary
You are able to choose the diameter of your Tree Light display. Below are some recommended distances according to flagpole height, however these are just suggestions. Note: The Dream lights are designed to fit poles up to 30’ tall, if they are installed on a flagpole shorter than 30’, there will be some of the strand left on the ground. The extra can be bundled on the ground, arranged as a base around the pole, or cut to a shorter length. More info on cutting can be found on the next page.
- 20’ or less flagpoles
- 9’ radius 4’ spacing between light strands.
- 25’ Flagpoles
- 10’ radius 4.5’ spacing between light strands
- 30’ Flagpoles
- 11’ radius 5’ spacing between light strands
- These are approximate distances and may vary depending on sleeve depth and installed pole height.
TRIMMING LIGHTS
The Dream lights are designed to be trimmed to fit different size flagpoles. When the kit arrives the length is set to fit a 30’ Flagpole. You can use the lights at this length or if you have a shorter flagpole and prefer the light strands to be trimmed, you can easily cut the length to your desired size. Please be very cautious when trimming the lights. Once they are cut they cannot be reconnected.
- Warning: Before trimming the light strands, make sure you unplug the Dream lights from power. Trimming the lights with the power connection can result in electrical shock and/or damage to the Dream lights.
- Caution: Measure the lights carefully before cutting. Lights cannot be reconnected after trimming. Service First is not responsible for errors made when trimming the lights.
