CAUTION - To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons:
WARNING: When using outdoor portable lighting products, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Use dielectric grease and shrink tube at all power connections, including end cap when using outdoors.
2. Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) when using outdoors.
3. Use only UL approved outdoor extension cords, such as type SW, SOW, STW, STOW, SJW, SJOW, SJTW, or
SJTOW. This designation is marked on the jacket of the extension cord.
TO REPLACE FUSE (see Figure 1):
This plug contains an electrical fuse as a safety feature.
Figure 1
1. Disconnect power before replacing the fuse.
2. Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device.
3. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
4. Unscrew the fuse access cover on top of the attachment plug.
(see Figure 1).
5. Remove old fuse carefully.
6. Never attempt to replace the fuse with a higher wattage fuse. Use
only 5 Amp 120 Volt fuse. Failure to do so may be a re hazard.

CONNECTING POWER CONNECTION KIT (See Figures 2, 3, and 4)
NOTE: Do not exceed 150.9’ maximum run distance in any single run.
1. Determine the required length for exible light.
2. Cut the Polar Neon squarely at the nearest series increment cut
mark using a sharp rope light cutting tool or shears.
NOTE: Polar Neon is wired in series parallel. Cutting anywhere
other than the end/beginning of a series increment will result in a loss
of light. (see Figure 2)
3. Holding the smooth pins of the power pin with a pair of pliers, line up
the barbed pins with the two wires of the exible light. Push barbed pins
into Polar Neon until ush, being sure to make solid contact with the
exible light’s internal wires. (see Figure 3).
4. Slide the shrink tube over the assembly and onto the Neon Polar Neon.
5. Push the power cord sheath onto the assembly until fully seated.
6. Slide the heat shrink tube over the power cord sheath so that it is
centered over the junction of the Polar Neon and the power
cord sheath. (see Figure 4).
7. Attach end cap to other end of exible light to cover exposed dead end.
