This fitting is heavy and large and you should seek assistance in connecting it to the supply and securing it to
the mounting surface. When fixing to the mounting surface ensure that the fixings used are appropriate for the
mounting surface on which they are being used – see below regarding mounting.

Before you start
Please read these instructions carefully before fitting your new light and retain for reference.
Switch off the mains supply and remove the appropriate fuse or switch off the appropriate circuit breaker
before commencing installation.
Ensure that no one else has access that would enable the supply to be inadvertently reconnected.
Ensure that there are no cables / pipes beneath the surface (other than the supply cable for this fitting).
If installing on an existing secure (concrete) base, use the holes in the lamp post base as a template to drill suitable
fixing holes and prepare with suitable ground fixing bolts (not supplied).
If installation is to be made using the ground anchor plate, dig a hole in settled ground (dimensions can vary but the
finished concrete block should be substantial enough to support and anchor the lamp post) ensuring that at least 2.5
metres of cable will be available above the ground level of the hole. Construct the anchor plate and determine the
depth the anchor plate has to be sunk in the ground to enable the post base to be connected to it. This is important as
any mistakes on determining the amount of thread available to secure the lamp post cannot be rectified once the
concrete has set.
Check the packaging and make sure that you have all the required parts.
Follow each assembly step in order to prevent incorrect assembly
Make sure all screws / nuts, including electrical connections etc are fully tightened before use.
