1. Read Operator's Manual before starting.
2. Park the unit with the tow tongue facing east or west. This will allow the solar wings
on either side to be raised to face the sun (solar south in Northern Hemisphere) and
maximize solar gain as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It is not
necessary to readjust during the course of the day.
have a compass function to assist you in orienting solar panels to the south.
3. Disconnect the safety chains and lights from the towing vehicle.
4. Unhitch the portable solar light tower from the towing vehicle. Raise the tongue jack
(clockwise) into position (perpendicular to ground). Take out the hitch pin and
maneuver the tongue off of the towing vehicle.
5. Extend all outriggers and jack stands to level and stabilize the trailer and housing
unit before raising the tower. Use all jack stands to level the entire trailer.

6. Adjust the solar wings to face solar south which optimizes solar absorption. The sun
should hit the solar wings at a 90° angle ideally. Use the arrow keys located in the
control box at the front of the unit to adjust the angle of each solar wing to area latitude
or 35°- 40° if unknown. Install tele-struts if included.
CAUTION:
MOVING PARTS HAZARD: PROTECT HANDS AND LOOSE CLOTHING FROM
SOLAR WINGS WHEN CLOSING AND OPENING.
