10. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes or underground electrical wires when inserting this product into the ground.
11. Follow instructions for changing batteries. Replace with only identical “AAA” recharge-
able batteries. Dispose of the used batteries properly, as cadmium in the batteries is
toxic. For disposable guidelines, check with your local waste management guidelines
in your community.
12. For outdoor use only.
13. Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 that the item is intact and undamaged. If any
parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of

Figure 1
1. Look on the underside of the Lamp
Head (1). Twist the Transparent Cover
of Lamp Head (8) counterclockwise
to reveal the Switches (5 & 6) located
in the Lamp Head Holder.
2. If the batteries have not been installed
or you need to replace the batteries,
be sure they are “AAA” Rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries.
3. Open the two Battery Boxes (7) by
pushing the lever and removing the
covers. Set aside. Check that the po-
larity of each battery is correct. (See
inside housing). Once the batteries
are in place, replace the Battery Box
covers by lining up the notches and
snapping the covers in place. See
Figures 2 and 3.
Note: Always dispose of used batteries ac-
cording to your local waste disposal
requirements.
Turn the ON/Off Power Switch (6) to
the ON position. See Figure 2.
Choose your lighting sequence
and color, white, amber, blue or
green. Set the Function Option
Switch (5) to “DAY”, “SEC” or “FIX”
(marked near switch) from the choic-
es below:
DAY = Color automatically changes
day by day.
SEC = Color automatically changes
second by second.
FIX = Fix ONE color to light on
continually. See Figure 3 Switch for
choice. See Figure 2.
Assemble the Transparent Cover
of Lamp Head (8) and Lamp Head

Push the Lamp Head (1) onto the Bubble Tube (2). Push that assembly onto the Stain-
less Steel Mounting Pole (3). Twist the Ground Stake (4) onto the assembled Mounting
Pole, matching up the threads and tighten. See assembly drawing, page 7.
OPERATION
After choosing from the three functional options (See Page 4), the Solar Powered Light
provides a beautiful column of ever changing color which reflects and scatters light with
its bubble effect, making it perfect for your pathway or walkway.
Choose an area that has full sunlight during the day. It should be in a location that will
show off it’s unique bubbling tube and colored light features and not in a shady location.
Push the assembly with the Ground Stake (4) into the ground so it stands vertically,
avoiding any hidden plumbing, sprinkling systems or electrical wiring.
The Solar Light charges during the daylight and illuminates automatically at night. The
batteries provide up to 8-10 hours of light. The light time differs depending on the degree
of sunshine and shining hours. It will be a shorter time during raining days.
The batteries should be charged in full sun for a couple of days prior to first use. Shut
the Power Switch (6) ‘off’ when charging, to prevent automatic operation and discharge,
at night.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES
The batteries are standard 1.2V, 600mAH Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. The battery
needs to be changed when the light looks very dim within 4 hours in the darkness after
fully sunshine during the day.
Batteries (10)
Figure 5
Unclip the Transparent Cover of Lamp Head (8) from the holder (9) with a counterclock-
wise twist. Set Cover aside. Remove the battery covers of the Battery Boxes (7). Take
the batteries out from the Battery Box (7) and replace with new batteries (1.2V 600mA
AAA ni+MH rechargeable battery). Replace the battery covers.
Re-assemble the Transparent Cover of Lamp Head (8) to the Holder (9), turning clock-
wise until tightened.
Always properly dispose of all used batteries. Contact your local Waste Disposal
Authority for proper battery disposal guidelines.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the Solar Panel in the Lamp Head (1) clean, using a neutral solvent and a wet
cloth. The Solar Light is water resistant but do not submerge in water. The product
should always have the Power Switch (6) “ON”.
Shade will limit the amount of light you get from your product. The Multi-Colored LED
Bulbs (10) are long lasting and non-replaceable. After being in the sunlight for at least
8 hours of charging time and the light does not come on, check your batteries.
