SMALL PANCAKE LANTERN ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Item numbers 1860 and 1864
REMOVING THE BODY FROM THE FRAME
1. Allow the light to cool.
2. Remove the Skirt from the Lantern.
3. Remove the Lantern from the light fixture.
4. Unzip the zippers in the top of the Lantern.
5. Slide one corner of the body off of the curve in the pole. The first corner will be
tighter than the other corners. When the first two corners are removed, the
Lantern will be loose enough to fall off of the remaining corners.
REMOVING THE POLES FROM THE SPEED RING
1. Grip one corner of the Speed Ring in one hand and the inside end of the pole in
the opposite corner in the other hand.
2. Apply slight backward pressure on the pole to center it in its mounting hole and
slide the pole out of the hole. If you have difficulty relieving the pressure on the
pole in this manner, place the frame on a horizontal surface with the Speed Ring
at the top and apply downward pressure on the ring to compress the frame
about two inches (50 cm). This will relieve the pressure on the poles so they
can be removed from the ring. After the first two poles are removed, the
remaining poles will separate easily from the ring.
FOLDING THE LANTERN FOR STORAGE
1. With the zippers on the Lightbank body unzipped, bring two of the zipper slides
that are opposite one another together and hold them both in the same hand.
With the other hand, smooth one of the corner seams until it is reversed and
nested into the seam on the opposite side.
2. Straighten the edges and corners of the body as necessary, then fold one half of
the body over onto the other half. The body will then be in a shape that
resembles a diamond or the “ace” on a playing card.
3. To Fold the Skirt, zip up all four corners, then tuck one zippered corner into the
corner opposite it in the same way the body was folded. Fold the two resulting
halves together.
4. Lay the Lantern body on the Skirt with the flaps of the Lantern and the rounded
corners of the Skirt on the same side and the pointed tip of the body even with
the corresponding edge of the Skirt.
5. Put the poles into the slipcover, ringed-end first.
6. Fold the combined body and Skirt in half vertically.
7. Beginning at the folded edge, roll the body and Skirt loosely and slide them into
the slipcover.
