Product Dimensions

Marking for Expansion Bolt Anchors

Mark two points on the mounting surface using the holes on the yoke mount as a guide. These marks will be used for the expansion bolt anchors (not included).

Install Expansion Bolt Anchors

Drill the proper holes using the marks on the mounting surface for the expansion bolt anchors. Insert the expansion bolt anchors into the drilled holes. Tighten the hex nuts on the expansion bolt anchors until they are fastened to the surface.

Install Fixture Body

Remove the hex nuts and washers from the expansion bolts. Attach the yoke mount with fixture body to the bolts and secure with the previously removed washers and hex nuts. Tighten until snug.

Wire Connection

Strip both leads from the fixture pigtail. Using two wire connectors(sold separately), connect the leads from the fixture bodies to the main supply cable leads.

Adjust Fixture Body

Using the wrench, loosen the screws on the side of the fixture to adjust the fixture to your desired orientation. Always tighten the screws after any adjustments.

Install Stake

Determine the desired location for mounting the stake. Hammer the stake into the ground until the flange of the 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 Fixture to Stake

Attach the coupler onto the stake. Place the yoke mount with the fixture body onto the coupler and secure it with the hex nut. Hand tightens until snug.

Strip both leads from the fixture pigtail. Using two wire connectors(sold separately), connect the leads from the fixture bodies to the main supply cable leads.

Remove Plastic Film

Remove the plastic film from the IR remote before use.
