Specific Solar Light Warnings  
1.  
2.  
3.  
The Solar light must be installed in a sunny location where it will receive at least 8  
hours of sunlight daily. Do not allow anything to shade or cover the Solar Light, or it  
will keep the solar panel from absorbing enough sunlight to operate at full capacity.  
For best lighting results, it is recommended that you do not space Solar Lights more  
than 12 feet apart. Do not place Solar Lights less than five feet from each other or  
they may cause the lights to flicker from such a close adjacent light source.  
Position the Solar Light away from any other night lighting sources as they may  
interfere with the lights ability to turn on and off automatically.  
Unpacking  
When unpacking, check to make sure the parts listed on page 7 are included. If any parts  
are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this  
manual as soon as possible.

Assembly  
Ground Staked Installation  
See the Assembly Drawing on page 7.  
Note: Ground Stake parts assemble by simply slip-fitting them together.  
1.  
Assemble the Ground Stake by fitting a Stake Connector (3) into the Pointed Ground  
Stake (4), then add, a Ground Stake Tube (2) to the Stake Connector (3). Then, add  
another Stake Connector (3) and another Ground Stake Tube (2). Lastly, insert the top  
Ground Stake Tube (2) into the Light Fixture (1).  
2.  
3.  
Choose a location away from other night time light sources and dig a hole  
approximately 6 inches in the ground. If the ground is hard, soak it with water prior to  
digging.  
Work the Light stake into the ground without forcing it or hammering it. Forcing or  
hammering will break the Light Stake and permanently damage the Solar Light. Fill in  
the dirt around the Stake and make sure it is stable. See FIGURE 1.

Wall Bracket Installation  
1.  
At the desired location, use the holes in the Wall Bracket (5) for a template and draw  
two screw hole circles on the mounting surface. Predrill, being careful not to drill into  
hidden electrical wires or cables. Make sure the wall is solid or has a stud behind the  
surface that will hold the weight of the Solar Light. Mount the Wall Bracket (5) with the  
two screws provided.  
2.  
Insert the Light Fixture (1) into the Wall Bracket (5) making sure the light sensor is  
pointing away from any other night time light source. See FIGURE 2.

Operation  
1.  
2.  
Remove the Cap and turn the switch to “ON”. Replace the Cap. Now charge the  
Solar Light in direct sunlight for at least 3 sunny days.  
This period is called the “Charging Period” because, during the initial three days, the  
lamp may not illuminate up to its full duration.  
You will only need to turn on the unit once, and from then on it will switch on and off  
automatically. See FIGURE 3.

Note: We recommend testing the light by waiting until after the 3 day initial charge period  
and then taking the Solar Light indoors into a dark room to make sure it comes on  
automatically.  
Troubleshooting  
Dim Light:  
1.  
The on/off switch contacts may be poor. Turn the switch on and off several times to  
alleviate the problem.  
2.  
The battery may be low or under charged. Make sure the Solar Light is located in an  
unobstructed location where it will receive 8 hours of sun. Allow the battery to  
recharge for 5 full, sunny days. Overcast days will limit performance.  
3.  
Dirty Solar Panel (on top of the Cap). A dirty Solar Panel will not allow the unit to  
charge, shortening the life of the battery. Clean the Solar Panel regularly with a damp  
cloth. Do not use detergents or solvents.  
No Light:  
1.  
An external light source (i.e. streetlight, porch light, flood light) may prevent the light  
from turning on. Reposition the Solar Light.  
2.  
Batteries may need recharging.

Maintenance  
1.  
This Solar Light is designed for year-round outdoor usage. If you intend to store it  
indoors for more than 2-3 days, follow the following protocols:  
a. Store in a dry location at room temperature.  
b. During storage, the battery still needs some light to keep it charging so it will not  
become completely discharged. Store it where it can receive minimal sun or room  
light.  
c. During prolonged storage you should switch the power switch to the OFF position.  
Note: We do not recommend storing the Solar Light for long periods of time.  
2.  
Make sure the Solar Panel is clean and clear of any dirt or debris. Use a soft, damp  
cloth to clean the Solar Panel. Do not use bleaches or detergents.  
Note: The bulb (LED type) cannot be replaced.  
3.  
This light has delicate wiring inside. The Battery should only be replaced by a  
qualified service technician. The battery should only be replaced by another “AA” (L6)  
Ni-Cd, 600 mAh minimum battery.
