There is no need to remove the batteries during a break for lunch.

1. The most important thing,
is DON'T DO THIS! 
Never grasp the Light Tree
by the thin clear plastic dust cover. If you do, you run the risk of bending
it inward and damaging the light components. This type of damage is not covered
by your warranty.
Handle the Light Tree only
by the white plastic parts at the top and bottom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Open the battery compartment.
Hold the bottom of the Light
Tree in one hand, and the bottom of the battery compartment in the other hand.
Twist in opposite directions.
|
|
 |
 |
|
3. Install
three AA Alkaline
cells. These will power the Light Tree continuously for three weeks, so don't
worry about letting it run all day.
Avoid letting the batteries
dangle. Put them in the battery compartment and carefully arrange wires so they
are not pinched.
|
|
|
| 4. Plug in your start
gate cable before closing. |
|
|
5. Mount Light tree on floor
stand or other method of choice. It accepts a PVC Schedule 40 1" pipe.
For maximum stability, cement
pipe into the bottom of the battery compartment.

Idea
1: A 1" steel pipe flange epoxied to a round concrete stepping stone.
The T fitting allows a cable to exit.
|
Idea
2: A patio umbrella stand. The bottom of the stand is open, allowing the
cable to exit out the bottom of the pipe.
|
.The BestTrack's
heavy construction allows direct mounting to the track itself.This mounting
system is included for BestTrack customers.
|
|
|
|
6. Trigger Light Tree into
count down using your TV remote control.
The receiver is the black
component at the bottom of the dust cover. Turn the tree so it is looking at
you.
|
|
|
|
7. If the
battery case seems too tight, twist it in a piece of sandpaper. Test often
to avoid going too far.
|
|
|
8. If you don't like the
looks of the bar codes and other information on the PVC parts, you can remove
them easily. Just drag a new single edge razor blade across the ink.

|
|
If you have the BestTrack
Mounting Kit , we recommend you cement the long pipe into both the T and the
battery compartment. Cementing it makes it more stable.
Home Depot has what you
need. Or bring it to the counter at your local Mom and Pop plumbing store. We
would do that here, but it creates shipping carton problems when combined with
other items.
