IMPORTANT: Parts of this process are only suitable for a qualified electrician to carry out. Please do not attempt
them yourself. Ensure all electrical cabling is isolated and not live before commencing any work.
Stage 1: Preparation
1.
Select where you would like to place the mast light. Dig a trench from your power source to this spot. To ensure that the cable
cannot be accidentally cut by a spade or fork, make sure it is at least 30cm deep.
2.
Dig a square hole, 30cmx 30 cm and 60cm deep.
3.
Fill the bottom 30cm of the hole with gravel (we recommend Pea Gravel) to ensure good drainage.
4.
Run armoured cable from the power source. Run 3m into the hole and through the mast in a loop.
5.
Place the mast in the hole, ensure it is level and then use concrete to secure it in place. Concrete mix: Mix ‘All-In’ aggregate with
ordinary cement in a ratio of 4:1 with enough water to thoroughly mix together and bind. The concrete should not slump or run.
Stage 2: Installation
IMPORTANT: Electrical connections must only be made by a qualified electrician.
1.
