- Connect Cables: Connect the cables from each light fixture to the main power cable, ensuring all connections are tight and waterproof. Route the cables neatly along the umbrella ribs towards the umbrella pole, securing them with additional ties if necessary to prevent snagging.
- Connect Power Adapter: Plug the main power cable into the provided power adapter. Ensure the adapter is placed in a dry location or protected from rain.

Note: For best results, ensure cables are not pinched or stressed during installation.

Maintenance

- Storage: During off-season or extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to remove the light set from the umbrella and store it in a cool, dry place. Ensure cables are neatly coiled to prevent tangling or damage.
