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 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.
1. After a full 8 hours of sunlight charging,
the Solar Light will automatically turn
ON during the night.
2. After initial charge is set, confirm that
Solar Light is on by viewing it at night
or in a dark location. If not lit, check
that Solar Light has had full sunlight for
8 hours.
Maintenance
1. 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.
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the
general condition of the light. Check for:
• leaking, swollen, or cracked battery
• loose hardware
• misalignment or binding of parts
• cracked or broken parts
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
3. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces
of the light with clean cloth.
4. Replace battery every 12 months:
a. Remove the Light Cap from the Lens.
b. Open the battery cover on the
bottom of the Solar Light housing.
