Installation Instruction

GENERAL
1. To ensure the success of the fixture installation, the following instructions and
diagram(s) should be read and understood.
2. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the National
Electric code and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain of the
methods of installing electrical wiring and lighting fixtures secure the services of
a qualified licensed electrician.
3. TOOLS NEEDED: Blade screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, slip joint pliers or
small adjustable wrench, wire cutter/stripper, electrical current tester, stepladder
and electrical tape. NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions outlined
on this sheet are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are
factors that cannot be built into any product. Caution and care must be supplied
by the person(s) installing, operating and maintaining this lighting fixture.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. TURN OFF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE
LIGHTING FIXTURE IS TO BE ATTACHED. Move the appropriate circuit
breaker to the “off position or completely remove the fuse controlling the circuit.
2. If an existing fixture is being replaced, remove it and note to which of the wires
in the outlet box the fixture was attached. DO NOT SEPARATE ANY OTHER
WIRES THAT MAY BE IN THE BOX. DO NOT DAMAGE THE INSULATION
OR F OLDER WIRING. In regular circumstances the BLACK wire will be the
“Hot” lead and the WHITE wire will be the “Neutral” or “Common” lead. A
GREEN or BARE COPPER wire is the “Ground”. In older buildings it is always
good practice to reconfirm the polarity of the wiring.
3. This fixture is designed to be mounted on a standard round or octagon box.
The box must be securely mounted to the structure of the building.
FIXTURE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the fixture, shades and parts bag(s) from the carton. Before
discarding the carton, double check packing to make certain that all parts are
found.
2. (Starting at the back), thread the 2 longest screws into the mounting ring.
(The green ground screw is the front). Attach the mounting ring to the outlet box.
(The green screw should face the box)
3. Thread the small hex nuts onto the screws. Adjust the screws so they extend
3/16” beyond the canopy of the fixture, lock the hex nuts against the crossbar.
4. Fasten the green fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box or
fasten it to the mounting plate with green screw provided.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE BLACK OR “HOT” WIRE!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH!
5. Fasten the white fixture wire to the white wire in the outlet box. Fasten the
wires to together with an approved fastener (wire nut).
Starting about 1” below the fastener, tightly wrap connection with electrical tape
so that the tape seals the end of the fastener.
Make sure that there is no exposed wire or strands that could cause a
dangerous short circuit !
6. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the joined wires as in step 5.
7. Using the end balls, fasten the fixture to the outlet box. Rotate and align the
canopy as necessary.
8. Install the lamp(s) light bulb(s).
11. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
