TO FIT THE GROUND SPIKE
Note: This procedure can be carried out in any order (apart from step 1), however, if you attach
the fixture to the spike once it is in the ground, the actions of attachment could loosen the
spike’s grounding, particularly in soft soil. However, in hard soils it may be necessary to first drive
the spike into the ground using a mallet and a suitable piece of wood as a drift (to protect the
top of the spike).
1 Remove the cable from within the pillar, as discussed on the
previous page.
2 Screw the threaded
Joiner
into the base of the fixture’s pillar and
tighten using a 15/16” (24mm) wrench:
3 Screw the small thread of the joiner
into the top of the ground spike and
use the same wrench to tighten it
in place.
4 Push the spike into the ground. If
necessary, use a piece of wood, each
side of the joiner, to apply suitable
downward pressure directly to the
top surface of the spike. Do not
push down hard on the fixture itself.
