If in doubt, take a photo of the place where you want to install your 
Firewinder and take the Mounting Brackets with you to a local hardware 
store and ask a friendly member of staff to recommend what type of 
fixtures you should use for a secure installation. 
 
4. Position mounting brackets 
 
Great care needs to be taken to ensure the Mounting Brackets are the 
right distance apart and are correctly aligned. Note the correct 
orientation for the Mounting Brackets in the illustration. 
 
Step 1 
Hold the Top Mounting Bracket against the surface you wish to 
install it onto. Mark the centers of the two holes, taking great 
care to ensure the bracket is vertical. Drill if required. Screw or 
bolt the Top Mounting Bracket into position. 
 
Step 2 
Measure and mark precisely 5cm below the bottom edge of the 
Top Mounting Bracket - this will be where the top edge of the 
Bottom Mounting Bracket will sit. Mark the position of the 
holes, taking great care to ensure the bracket is vertical. Drill if 
required. Screw or bolt the Bottom Mounting Bracket securely 
into position. 
 
5. Install Firewinder 
 
Once the Mounting Brackets are secure, Firewinder can be easily installed 
and secured using the Pins to lock it in position. 
 
First, insert the Bottom 
Fixing 
Point
of
your
Firewinder
into
the
protruding hole in the Bottom Mounting Bracket. Then 
offer up the Top Fixing Point of your Firewinder into the 
groove at the front of the protruding part of the Top 
Mounting Bracket. 
 
Carefully slide the Big Pin through the two holes on 
either side of the Top Mounting Bracket making sure 
the Big Pin passes through the hole in the tip of the Top 
Fixing Point, trapping the Top Fixing Point in position. 
Finally, insert the Little Pin into the eyehole at the tip of 
the Big Pin as illustrated, securing your Firewinder 
ready for operation. 
 
 
6. Sit back and enjoy 
 
Now your Firewinder is ready for you to enjoy… just wait for the wind to blow! 
 
Whenever the wind blows faster than 3-4 mph Firewinder will create its spiralling light effect and in 
high winds Firewinder creates a pulsating pillar of light. 
 
Sometimes it is possible for Firewinder to rotate in an anticlockwise direction, creating a downward 
spiral effect. This is generally caused by an object (e.g. a building, wall, fence or tree) obstructing the 
direction of air flow directly around the Firewinder. If this is not desired then seek an alternative 
place for installation. 
 
If really severe weather is forecast, take down your Firewinder. Debris carried by high winds can 
damage Firewinder. 
 
7. Alternative installations 
 
As you have read, we only recommend installation using the Mounting Brackets provided, however, it 
is perfectly possible to install your Firewinder in a variety of interesting locations with suitable rope or 
wire using the holes in the Top and Bottom Fixing Points. 
 
Mark Feldstein & Associates, inc. and The Firewinder Company will not accept any 
responsibility for your actions. 
 
We recommend using a 4mm diameter double braid polyester rope suitable for marine use, which 
should be checked regularly for any signs of wear. 
 
In order to stabilize
your Firewinder in high winds we do recommend tethering the base fixing point.
 
8. Disposal of unit 
 
All plastic and metal parts should be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. The 
unit can be disassembled by opening the base using commonly available tools. Firewinder must be 
disassembled under the supervision of an adult
.
