Mounting the Shelter
Choose a location for your shelter. It can be mounted on a pole or a flat surface
such as a wall or a wooden post.
It is important that the shelter be mounted so that the solar panel gets the greatest
amount of sunshine: the solar panel should be facing south (in the northern
hemisphere) or north (in the southern hemisphere).
Mounting on a Pole
Mount the shelter onto a pipe with an outside diameter of 0.84'' to 1.84'' (21 mm
to 27 mm) using the U-bolts, backing plates, washers, and hex nuts provided.
Note: For mounting on larger diameter pipes, the housing can accommodate U-bolts with 5/6
''
(8 mm) threads for pipes up to 2.40
''
(61 mm) outside diameter (not provided).
1. While holding the shelter against the pole, place a U-bolt around the pole and
through the two holes at the top of the shelter.
2. Place a mounting plate over the bolt ends, then place a lock washer and a hex
nut on each of the bolt ends.
3. Tighten the nuts using an adjustable wrench or 7/16'' wrench.
4. Place the second U-bolt around the pole and through the two holes at the
bottom of the shelter. Put a backing plate, lock washer, and a hex nut on each
bolt end, and tighten the hex nuts.
