mounting the luminaire on the pole. Power leads should be
pulled as mounting parts are assembled.

REFLECTOR AIMING ADJUSTMENT

Reflectors can be rotated to any of four beam aiming
positions by removing the screws holding the reflector to
the reflector plate, rotating the reflector into the desired
position, and replacing the screws. Take care in replacing
the reflector plate so that the lamp socket leads are not
pinched between the plate and the housing. (See Figure 1)

the National Electrical Code and any applicable

local code requirements.

Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it

to nameplate.
