After installation, activate lights to verify proper operation. Navigation light regulations require lights to be operated with a three-position switch that provides for:

• Running lights (sidelights and all-round light).

• Anchor lights (all-round light only).

• Off.

When not in use, always store pole light in Pole Light Storage Clips (Attwood 7571). Choose a storage location where it will not be damaged or be in constant contact with water. Close the base cover when light is stowed to protect the contacts and seal the deck.

NOTE:

Navigation light poles are designed to support only the light. They should never be used as flag poles or handles.
