2. Setup and Installation

2.1 Tools and Materials Required (Not Included)

• Shovel or post-hole digger
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Concrete mix
• Gravel
• Electrical wiring (UF wire recommended for underground use)
• Light fixture (compatible with 3-inch diameter post top)
• Wire connectors

2.2 Site Preparation

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location for your lamp post, ensuring it is clear of underground utilities.
2. Dig Hole: Dig a hole approximately 15 inches (38 cm) deep and 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) in diameter.
3. Add Gravel: Place 6 inches (15 cm) of gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage.

2.3 Installation Steps

The Mayne Signature Lamp Post can be installed with either wired or solar light fixtures. Follow the steps below for your chosen method.

Wired Installation:

1. Run Wiring: If installing a wired light, run the UF (Underground Feeder) electrical wire from your power source to the base of the dug hole. Ensure all wiring complies with local electrical codes.
2. Insert Conduit: Place the 89-inch metal lamp post mount (PVC ground mount conduit) into the hole, ensuring it is centered and plumb using a level. The conduit should extend approximately 74 inches (188 cm) above ground.
3. Feed Wire: Feed the electrical wire up through the center of the conduit.
4. Pour Concrete: Fill the hole with concrete, ensuring the conduit remains plumb and stable. Allow the concrete to cure completely according to manufacturer instructions (typically 24-48 hours).
5. Install Sleeve: Once the concrete is cured, slide the decorative lamp post sleeve over the metal conduit. The sleeve should fit snugly over the base.
6. Connect Light Fixture: Connect the electrical wiring from the light fixture to the wire extending from the conduit, following the light fixture manufacturer's instructions. Secure the light fixture to the top of the lamp post, leaving approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of the conduit exposed for proper fit.

Solar Installation:

1. Insert Conduit: Place the 89-inch metal lamp post mount (PVC ground mount conduit) into the hole, ensuring it is centered and plumb using a level. The conduit should extend approximately 74 inches (188 cm) above ground.
2. Pour Concrete: Fill the hole with concrete, ensuring the conduit remains plumb and stable. Allow the concrete to cure completely according to manufacturer instructions.
3. Install Sleeve: Once the concrete is cured, slide the decorative lamp post sleeve over the metal conduit.
4. Secure Solar Light: Secure your solar light fixture to the top of the lamp post, ensuring it is properly aligned and stable.

3. Operating Instructions

The Mayne Signature Heavy Duty Outdoor Lamp Post serves as a decorative and structural element for your outdoor lighting. Its operation is dependent on the type of light fixture you choose to install (wired or solar). Ensure your chosen light fixture is installed correctly and powered according to its own instructions.

4. Maintenance

The polyethylene construction of your Mayne lamp post is designed for low maintenance. To keep your lamp post looking its best:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the lamp post with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used.
• Pressure Washing: For deeper cleaning, a high-power pressure washer can be used at close proximity without risk of damaging the polyethylene material.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.

5. Troubleshooting

• Lamp Post Appears Unstable: Ensure the concrete base has fully cured and the metal conduit is firmly set. Re-check that the decorative sleeve is properly seated over the conduit.
• Discoloration or Stains: Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions. The weather and fade-resistant material should prevent significant discoloration over time.
• Light Fixture Malfunction: Issues with the light fixture itself (e.g., not turning on, flickering) are typically related to the light fixture's wiring or components, not the lamp post. Consult the light fixture's instruction manual or a licensed electrician.
