Mounting Information:
LAKESHORE PRODUCTS INC. Dock owners: (Post sizes New 2.00" & Old 1-7/8")
LAKESHORE PRODUCTS, INC. has switched to a slightly larger 2.0" dock post. You may have either one of the 1-7/8” or the 2.0" or even both depending on when you purchased your dock. There is only a very small difference of about 1/8" which DOES require a separate fitting. Remember you may have both sizes if you have added sections to your dock at different times. We strongly advise you to measure each of your post you plan to use the Solar Dock Lite on. Currently this is the only dock manufacturer WE know of using this size post. Please check their may be others we are unaware of. Customers and Dealers can download and print the new post sizing chart which has accommodated the change. Post Sizing Chart (pdf) 24.0KB- For docks using the Old 1-7/8" refer to above "Standard galvanized pipe (1-7/8" Outside Diameter)"
- For docks using the New 2.00" you will require the separate fitting.
Separate fitting: The separate fitting does not have an alignment notch for inserting into your Solar Dock Lite's universal fitting. For this reason it is necessary for you to align the set screw hole for mounting. We will supply the separate fitting free of charge. Just give us a call!
Remove
any any post caps from you dock post. Depending on your post it may be
necessary to add a layer or so of tape around your post. This will ensure
a tight and snug fit for your Solar Dock Lite before using the set screw.
Note that some pipe will not need a layer of tape for a tight/snug fit.
It may also be necessary to file off any corrosion or metal bur defects
on your pipe.
