5 ASSEMBLY Lamp Head Holder (9) Transparent Cover of Lamp Head (8) Figure 4 Push the Lamp Head (1) onto the Bubble Tube (2). Push that assembly onto the Stainless Steel Mounting Pole (3). Twist the Ground Stake (4) onto the assembled Mounting Pole, matching up the threads and tighten. See assembly drawing, page 7. Operation After choosing from the three functional options (See Page 4), the Solar Powered Light provides a beautiful column of ever changing color which reflects and scatters light with its bubble effect, making it perfect for your pathway or walkway. Choose an area that has full sunlight during the day. It should be in a location that will show off it s unique bubbling tube and colored light features and not in a shady location. Push the assembly with the Ground Stake (4) into the ground so it stands vertically, avoiding any hidden plumbing, sprinkling systems or electrical wiring. The Solar Light charges during the daylight and illuminates automatically at night. The batteries provide up to 8-10 hours of light. The light time differs depending on the degree of sunshine and shining hours. It will be a shorter time during raining days. The batteries should be charged in full sun for a couple of days prior to first use. Shut the Power Switch (6) off when charging, to prevent automatic operation and discharge, at night. Page 5

6 REPLACING THE BATTERIES The batteries are standard 2V, 600mAH Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. The battery needs to be changed when the light looks very dim within 4 hours in the darkness after fully sunshine during the day. Batteries (10) Figure Unclip the Transparent Cover of Lamp Head (8) from the holder (9) with a counterclockwise twist. Set Cover aside. Remove the battery covers of the Battery Boxes (7).

Contact your local Waste Disposal Authority for proper battery disposal guidelines. Maintenance 2. Keep the Solar Panel in the Lamp Head (1) clean, using a neutral solvent and a wet cloth. The Solar Light is water resistant but do not submerge in water. The product should always have the Power Switch (6) ON. Shade will limit the amount of light you get from your product. The Multi-Colored LED Bulbs (10) are long lasting and non-replaceable. After being in the sunlight for at least 8 hours of charging time and the light does not come on, check your batteries. Page 6
