Installation Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the
installation or before servicing or installing the fixture.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with the fixture are designed to
accept only one 12 gauge house wire and no more than two lead wires from the fixture. If your house wire is larger than
12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper
size wire connectors to use.
• DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an outlet box or to a
mounting plate which is first attached to the outlet box. Wire connectors will not support the weight of a fixture.
Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire connectors will result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal
injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.
• DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use
a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Installing a fixture into an electrical system not having a proper
grounding means could cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire
connections or splices were to become broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the fixture. Under
this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to electrical shock, which could cause serious
injury or death.
• DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying wire or the white
(NEUTRAL) house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the black or white house wires may cause
metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture will
receive electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do NOT allow bulb to come in direct contact with any flammable materials.
CAUTION
1. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code and
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors
than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
2. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
3. DO NOT use bulbs having a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the fixture. The use of bulbs with
higher wattage than specified will increase temperatures and risk of fire.
4. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
5. Due to the weight of this fixture, it is advisable to seek the help of another person to hold the stepladder in place and to
then help lift the fixture up to you once you are set on the ladder.
6. The fixture must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure and can support the full weight
of the fixture. Use a metal outlet box; plastic outlet boxes are not recommended.
