	STEP 1: Place solar panel face down on a protective surface that will not damage the glass of the solar panel. Take the solar panel bracket mounting frame and place over centre of panel as shown in picture. Align with holes in solar panel frame and fasten with nuts and bolts provided.
	STEP 2: Take red and black panel flex from top of street lamp main frame and feed them through the bottom of the solar panel bracket mounting frame.
	STEP 3: Pull the panel flex through the side opening of the solar panel mounting frame.
	STEP 4: Carefully lift the solar panel and mounting frame up and over the top of street lamp main frame.
	STEP 5: Gently take up the slack on the panel flex and ensure that collar of solar panel mounting frame is seated over pole of the main frame.
	STEP 6: Using a suitably sized screwdriver, loosen the screws of the lid on the solar panel junction box.
	STEP 7: Feed the red and black panel flex through the openings in junction box and secure/screw down over the respective tabs. Red is always the positive terminal and black is always the negative terminal and will be indicated either at the bottom of the junction box or inside under the terminals by a (+) sign for positive and a (-) sign for negative.
	STEP 8: Close junction box lid and fasten screws.
	STEP 9: Place the whole street lamp assembly onto main street lamp pole.
	STEP 10: The following sequences in assembly are shown on the ground, but in practice would take place once complete assembly is already secured onto main pole. Place the battery into steel battery housing.
	STEP 11: Secure panel flex onto battery terminals. Again, remember that red cable must correspond with “+” positive terminal of battery and the black cable with the “-“ negative terminal of battery.
	STEP 12: Place the lid of the battery housing over corresponding holes and secure with screws provided.
	FINAL STEP: Orientate the solar panel to face North (If you are South of the equator), or to face South (If you are North of the equator). Tighten all bolts securing the panel bracket to main frame and also, the main frame to the street lamp pole.
