1. Caution: Handle Reflective Material with Care.
2. Verify all materials are on site, and available for installation.
3. In preparation for light cube assembly determine the length of the well by measuring from the top of
the curb to the ceiling. Subtract a minimum of 2 inches from the top of the curb and 10” nominally
above the bottom lens frame to allow for deviations in Well length. Well sections are in 4, 3, 2 and 1
foot lengths.
4. Assemble reflective material. Remove the protective film from the reflective material snap corners of
the reflective material together locking material into a shaft like object in accordance with the
desired dimensions.

SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACION DEL TRAGALUZ
1.
Set skylight over prepared, flashed curbs, making sure skylight is square and
evenly spaced on all four sides.
1.
Siente el tragaluz sobre la base preparada. Y asegure que el tragaluz este bien
cuadrado de los cuatro lados y tener elmismo espacio.
2.
Mount skylight to the curb with stainless steel screws, Using 1 fastener for each
hole provided. Drive screws just snug to the skylight flange. Check skylight for
squareness and readjust screws if necessary..
2.
Monte el tragaluz al encintado con los tornillos plateados, galvanizados, o de aluminio, usando un sujetador para cada agujero proporcionado. Coloque los
tornillos ligeramente al reborde del tragaluz. Revise que el tragaluz este bien
cuadrado y reajuste los tornillos si es necesario. .

Nota:
NOTE:
Cuando asegure el tragaluz sobre la base acomode los tornillos lijeramente que
apenas toque el reborde del tragaluz. El apretar los tornillos demasiado torcera
el bordo esto alternadamente puede crear las fuerzas que podrian agrietar los
lentes del tragaluz.
When securing the skylight to the curb, run screws just snug to the
skylight flange. Overtightening will distort the flange. This in turn may
create forces which may crack the skylight lens.

THE NATURAL LIGHT FIXTURE
SUNOPTICS SKYLIGHTS generally require very little maintenance to properly perform
for many years. However, as with all products, a scheduled preventative maintenance
program should be followed.
1. When cleaning acrylic lenses, use only water or water with a mild soap. Use a
soft rag to minimize scratching the acrylic
2. NEVER use ammonia, aromatic or petroleum based products to clean acrylic
lenses. This will certainly cause deterioration and cracking of the lens and will
void the warranty.
1. Cleaning and lubrication of the motor spindle should be performed on a regular
basis. The spindle can be cleaned with a light solvent and wire brush. Avoid
bending the spindle as this could hinder operation of the skylight.
2. After cleaning the spindle, lubricate using pneumatic tool oil. Apply a few drops
to the base of the spindle when in the full open position. Also a few drops around
the center of the shaft.
3. Occasionally, a chatter noise may occur. This is normal for impedance protected
motor and shouldn’t affect the operation of the skylight. Should this noise persist,
the motor spindle needs to be cleaned and lubricated.
1. The motor and drive mechanism of the light control louvers are designed in such a
way that they require no preventative maintenance. They are however, designed
to be operated only by the motor unit. NEVER manually operate the louvers by
rotating an individual blade. This will only move the blades out of adjustment.
2. The light louver assembly should only require occasional vacuuming.
