Installation Instructions
Remove acrylic lens retainer from end of fixture by removing the two retaining screws with a crosshead screwdriver.
Starting with the legs destined for the opposite end of the fixture, slide the legs onto the two groves located on the front and back of the fixture. After both legs are inserted, replace the acrylic lens retainer. Legs should curve outward away from the end of the fixture.
Adjust legs left or right so that fixture sits evenly and securely over top of aquarium.
Plug light fixture into an acceptable outlet. Be sure to incorporate a "drip loop" to prevent water droplets from running down the cord and into the outlet should any water get onto the cord.

Always turn off light fixture and unplug from outlet prior to performing any maintenance.

Wipe exterior or fixture down with a clean, towel dampened with fresh water. Then dry thoroughly with a second dry towel.
