Bird Shields

• The bird shield behind the pipe clamp has a 1 ¼ -inch

(1.660 OD ) opening. Remove shield if larger pipe is used.

Mounting Arm

• Unfasten, open and remove door from hinge cradle.

•

Adjust pipe clamp opening slightly larger than pipe size.

• Insert mounting arm through bird-shield (if used)

and into the luminaire until it hits the leveling-steps
extending from top of housing.

• Tilt the luminaire up or down using the leveling-steps.

A pad is provided on top of housing for a hand-level.

• To level, hold luminaire approximately level and snug

up bolts (4-5 foot-pounds).

- If upward tilt is needed, loosen the bolts slightly, lift
luminaire and insert it to the next set of steps.

- If downward tilt is needed, extract the mounting
arm from the luminaire to sit on a more rearward
set of steps.

• Once level, tighten each mounting bolt to 10-12
