INSTALLATION HOW TO:
\\\Videos Below///
1. Open boxes and insert 3 AA batteries into each plastic battery pack.
2. Take the first battery pack and insert close to the spoke hub in between the spokes, wrap 1 or 2 of the zip ties around the plastic pack and a couple of the spokes with the on/off switch facing outward and pull tight with pliers. You want the zip tie pulled snug so the battery pack does not rattle around.
*2 zip ties will keep the battery pack extra snug.
3. Cut off the excess from the zip tie.
4. Wrap the plastic part of the light string up one spoke, winding it around until you get to the top of the spoke and the end of the clear plastic. *Caution* DO NOT PULL PLASTIC WIRE TOO TIGHT WHEN WRAPPING THE PLASTIC WIRE UP THE SPOKE. DOING SO CAN CAUSE THE WIRE TO PULL OUT OF THE BATTERY PACK.
5. When you are close to the rim of the spokes you then begin to wrap the metal string with the lights clockwise or counter-clockwise threading through spokes, wrapping the light string around every other spoke until you come to the end of the light string. The light string might overlap a bit. When at the end of the string, wrap the loose ends around the closest spoke. *NEVER PULL TOO HARD OR BEND THE METAL WIRE TOO MUCH BECAUSE THIS CAN DAMAGE THE ENTIRE LIGHT STRING.*
5. Now you are ready to ride! Just flip off the switch on the battery pack when you are done riding your bike to preserve battery life.
*The better the batteries that are installed, the longer your lights will last.
*When your lights begin to dim you will know it's time to change your batteries. Just slip the battery pack out of the zip tie, replace batteries, and push battery pack back into the zip tie.
*Spoke Swag can be used for spokes, handle bars, bike frames, bike baskets, or just about anywhere you can secure the battery pack.
*Battery packs are not made for submersion in water. The lights are waterproof, but the battery packs are not. If you are going to be riding in heavy moisture we suggest wrapping the battery pack in heavy plastic or duct tape to protect it.

The following videos illustrate the step-by-step instruction as listed above on SPOKE SWAG installation.
PLEASE NOTE: Sets now contain 2 strings of 20 bulbs each as opposed to 4 strings with only 10 bulbs. Therefore, you will install one string to the front wheel and the other string to the rear wheel. Do not tape sets together as shown below.
