2. Next, install a 3-light set on the holders (with the quick disconnect pointing toward the fountain) by clipping the light clamp over the holder and securing in place with a vertical tension screw. (Fig. 2)
3. Repeat for each of the remaining light assemblies.
4. Install the LakeSeries Light Set Junction Box by removing one of the intake assembly T-Knobs and placing the mounting bracket over the threaded stud. Secure in place with the T-Knob. (Fig. 3)

1. First, attach each light from a 4-light assembly to the inner rail of one Twin ISP Float Assembly with the quick disconnect pointing toward the fountain (the Airmax logo will face the lights). Lights should be evenly spaced, beginning after the first float support clamp and working out toward the end of the float. (Fig. 4)
2. Repeat for the remaining 4 light assemblies.
3. Rotate the thumb screw counterclockwise to remove it from the upper pump chamber, then position the junction box mounting bracket over the hole and reinstall the thumb screw to secure the junction box in place. Hand tighten ONLY. (Fig. 5)
4. After completing the fountain assembly procedure, connect each light assembly to the junction box quick disconnects and connect the light power cord to the junction box. Secure the power cord to the unit by clipping the strain relief to one of the D-Rings on the upper pump housing using the supplied carabiner.
5. Adjust the lights to point in the desired direction. Use either a 7/16” hex wrench or a 5/32” Allen wrench to tighten the pivot points if needed. Do not over tighten.

NOTE

Linking new lights to the remote control:

1. Ensure that you have new batteries in your remote and that the light set you wish to pair is within the 200’ working range of the remote control. Depending on conditions, you may have to decrease the distance between the lights and the remote during the repair process.
2. Choose which zone you want to assign the lights (1 to 4)
3. Switch off the main power supply of the lights in the selected zone with the main switch or pull the plug from the socket. For digital timers, turn to MANUAL OFF.
4. Turn the timer to the ON position or plug in the lights. Once the lights illuminate, TAP the Zone ON button three times on the desired zone.
5. When the link operation is successful, the lights will flash GREEN two times then reset to RED.

Airmax Light Set fixtures are designed to be partially out of water. Completely submerging the lights will prevent communication with the remote control.
