Installation instructions
Post installation
Step 1
Layout all components on a soft surface close to where your installation will be. At a minimum, you should have a L shape post, ground anchor, four 3/4” stainless steel screws, and two carabiner clips. There may be other upgrades such as solar lights, custom riders, etc. depending on your order.
Tip: We recommend acquiring a tool bag kit with a 4 lb hammer, 4mm Allen key/ T25 Torx bit screwdriver, 3/8” wrench, post level, and microfiber cloth.
Step 2
Using a hammer, drive the ground anchor into the ground. Use a post level to ensure level while hammering.
Tip: If you are in an area where the ground is tough, use a long 1/2” drill bit and cordless drill to start.
Step 2 (continued)
The stake should be driven down until the bottom plate is flush with the ground. Make sure the square nut is facing the direction desired.
Tip: Before the fins on the stake are in the ground, place the post over the nut and adjust to the perfect angle. Remove and finish driving the stake down.
Step 3
Slide Aluma Post over the ground anchor until it touches the bottom plate.
Tip: We highly recommend keeping the bubble wrap sleeve that we ship the post in for protecting the powder coat finish from getting scratched between installations.
Step 4
Use a 4mm Allen key bit to carefully tighten the 3/4” stainless steel screws at the bottom of the post. Use a post level to fine tune the final level of the post. Do not overtighten the screws!!
Step 5
If the eyebolts do not align with the holes on your sign, use a 3/8” wrench to hold the nylon lock nut inside the arm of the post. Then turn the eyebolt with a screwdriver until loose, adjust where needed, and tighten down. Do not over tighten the eye bolts!
Step 6
Hang your sign using carabiner clips. We recommend putting the clip on the sign first, then attaching to the eye bolts on the post.

Removal
Removal is completed the opposite of installation. We recommended using a “Jack Jaw” Stake extractor tool for removing the stake if difficult to remove from the ground.
Solar LED Light Installation
Step 1
Place bracket inside the slot on the bottom arm of post as shown.
Step 2
Place a hex nut on top of bracket from step 1. You may need to hold it in place with a finger while doing the next step.
Step 3
Use a 3/4” screw to secure light assembly to post using one of the side holes as shown. You may need to hold the nut in place with a finger while screwing it in.
Step 3 (Continued)
Repeat the same procedure as above for the other side of the bracket.
Step 3
To turn on the units, press the button on the bottom of the light as shown on both sides of the sign. There are (4) modes of different brightness and motion sensing. The first press will flash once for the first mode, two times for the second mode, and so on. After the forth mode it will turn off for storage. We recommend using the second mode with no motion sensing. The unit will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off/recharge when the sun comes up the following day.
MODE 1 = Constant 1/4 Brightness
MODE 2 = Constant 1/2 Brightness
MODE 3 = Dim Light + Motion FULL Brightness
MODE 4 = Off+ Motion FULL Brightness
