Assembly:
n Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
n Push down the stem onto the base of the light assembly
and insert the spike into the base of the stem
n remove the lid and move the switch to the 6h or 10h on
position
Installation:
n maximum sunlight will give the internal battery
the best charge and so give best results.
n Position solar lights where they are free from cover or
shade and, ideally, in a position that receives full sun
throughout the day.
n Avoid other light sources which may cause solar lights
to flicker on and off. Also allow a space of approx. 1.5m
(5ft) between solar lights.
n Push the spike carefully into the ground: if the ground is
hard, first make a hole to avoid damaging it.
n Solar lights will not be very bright or long lasting until
a full day’s sunlight has been received.
n Alternatively, batteries can be charged to full capacity in a
battery charger before use.
Maintenance:
n if solar panels get dirty, the charging capacity will be
reduced. Clean panels occasionally with a damp cloth
– avoid harsh detergents or solvents as these can damage
the panel.
n Batteries can be given a temporary boost in a battery
charger if there has been limited sun or extra light is
needed for a special occasion.
n Batteries may need replacing after 1-2 years, depending
on the conditions they have had to endure. The
batteries are housed on the underside of the lid and
can be easily accessed by removing the lid and battery
cover.
n The battery (1x Li-ion per light) can be replaced with and
3.2v rechargeable ones available in retail outlets: choose
a low power output (mAh). gardman replacement
batteries are ideal for the purpose.
n Low winter light levels or harsh weather in your locality
may lead you to decide to store your solar lights indoors
until conditions improve. if so, clean and dry the lights,
turn off or remove the batteries: store in a dry spot
and reassemble in spring as described in ‘installation’.
Troubleshooting:
if your solar light does not operate properly at night it may
be caused by one of the following:
n Ensure the switch, if present, is in the on position and
any battery tabs removed.
n Low light levels caused by the position of the light, lack
of sun or short daylight hours will shorten the
light duration.
n other lighting can cause flickering in a solar light or
even prevent it operating.
n Check the batteries in case they need replacing: see
‘maintenance’ above.
In the event of your Solar Light failing, please turn the
operating switch off and leave to fully charge for 2 - 3
days in direct sunlight. After this time turn the switch
back to the ‘on’ position for working operation. If the
operation failure continues to persist, please contact
our Customer Service department.
