placed on each end of the aquarium (Fig. 3). Hand tighten the
inner clamp knob so that the aquarium mounting brackets are
securely fastened to each end of the aquarium (Fig. 3) (C).
(4) Carefully rotate the light unit (only after the aquarium mounting
brackets are securely fastened to the aquarium) upwards and
towards yourself (approximate 120 degree rotation) until no
further rotation is possible (Fig. 4).
