EXTENDING AND FOLDING THE POLE (5540 Series)
The light is shipped with the pole folded and collars locked.
1. To unlock pole: Hold folded pole with lens upright. Pull the collar down (on lens half
of the pole). Pull the opposite locking collar up. This separates the collars. (Figure 2)
CAUTION: When unfolding pole, do not pinch fi ngers in hinge.
2. Press down fi rmly to engage electrical connectors. With Easy Lock Base, be sure
locking spring clicks over pole screw.
3. Slide locking collar down to base, rotate until you can insert lower ring inside top of base.
NOTE: Locking Collar stays above the Easy Lock Base
4. On bases other than the Easy Lock Series, press collar down into base and rotate
until it tightens between pole and base.
NOTE: Periodically check pole to make sure it is secure.
5. To remove:
• Pull locking spring back (on Easy Lock Base)
• On other bases, rotate locking collar in opposite direction until it loosens,
• Pull pole straight up.
TO CONVERT POLE FOR USE WITHOUT LOCKING COLLAR
1. For bases that do not accept locking collar, remove screw at bottom of pole. Slide
locking collar off end of pole.
2. Replace screw in the upper screw hole.
TO ADJUST ANTI-GLARE ARTICULATING HEAD
For best glare reduction, adjust the light while the boat is fl oating, or at the same attitude
as if it were fl oating.
1. Remove the pivot screw. Pull the top pivot up and away from yoke. (Figure 5)
2. Place a small level against the lens and rotate to level position.
3. When it is level, push yoke and pivot back together. Replace and tighten screw.
(Do not over tighten.)
OPERATION
After installation, check lights to verify proper operation. Regulations require lights to
be operated with a three-position switch for:
1. Running lights (sidelights and all-round light);
2. Anchor lights (all-round light only);
3. Off.
BASE WIRING
IMPORTANT: LED-based lights MUST be wired for correct polarity. If your light does not
function after installation, the light base may require re-wiring. To re-wire if necessary:
1. Unscrew or remove the base so you can reach wiring.
2. Locate the connection between base wiring and the boat’s wiring harness.
3. Cut wires. Add waterproof splice to each wire end.
4. Reverse polarity by reversing original wire connection to the wire harness.
5. Temporarily plug light into the base to check operation.
6. Remove light and reinstall base.
NOTE: Do not use light pole as a fl agpole or handle.
MAINTENANCE
When not in use, store in Pole Light Storage Clips (Attwood #7571). Choose a storage
location where light will not be damaged or be in constant contact with water.
