22" MAILBOX INSTALLATION, Cont.
Step 5 - Attach to Post
A) Remove the 12 screws holding the top bracket and remove the bracket. Slide the
mailbox forward to expose the top of the third bracket. DO NOT remove the
mailbox from the enclosure. Leave the block of foam under the
mailbox attached, as this helps fill the gap between the mailbox
and the enclosure..
B) Drive 4 -2" screws through the top of the mailbox mounting plate
(3rd bracket) into the top of the post. Slide the metal mailbox
back over the mounting plate. Align the holes in the
mailbox with the preset threads in the mounting plate.
C) Finger tighten 4 butterfly screws and washers to secure
mailbox to the mounting plate.
D) Attach the front pull and back latch to the face of the mail-
box with 2-¾" nuts and bolts.
Step 6 - Attach the Top Bracket
A) Bring both the connector and plug wires up through the
center opening of the 4th bracket. Move them off to one
side. Place the bracket into the top of the enclosure.
Make sure the top sits firmly down into the mailbox
enclosure.
B) Secure the top bracket into the enclosure using the 12 screws that were removed
in step 5.
Step 7 - Attach the Cap
A) Switch the solar collector to “Auto”. Place the collector in the cap with Velcro
provided. Firmly press the collector into the cutout of the cap to secure.
B) Attach the threaded male connector from the cap to the female connector of the
address block. Hand tighten the plastic nut . Locate the remaining wire. Insert
the male lead into the back of the collector to complete the circuit. For
maximum battery charge, place the cap so the collector faces south.
C) Set the cap over the enclosure. Check for light placement prior to avoid
drilling into one of the lights or the cord Attach the cap by driving 4 2 ¾"
screws at a steep angle through the bottom lip of the cap into the enclosure.
DO NOT drive through the top of the cap. DO NOT over drive the screws.
DO NOT use sealant on the cap to secure it, as you will need to access the
solar collector for periodic battery replacement..
Step 8 - Touch Up - (Optional) and Battery Maintenance
A) Caulk around the metal mailbox if there are any gaps to keep out insects.
Fill in any exposed screw heads.
B) After the caulk has set, cover with the appropriate paint color and feather the
paint out over the rock face. Paint Kit is sold separately.
C) From time to time the batteries will need to be replaced in the Solar Collec-
tor. Use 3 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or equivalent. Batteries can be
purchased from NextStone. Use 1200 mAh rating. Remove the 6 screws and
open the back cover. Be careful not to disturb the wires or the motherboard.
Put in fresh batteries and replace cover.
