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 each 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 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.
• DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. DO NOT permit wires to contact any
surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation, which could cause serious injury or death
from electrical shock.
• 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.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do NOT allow bulb to come in direct contact with any flammable materials.
CAUTION
• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp edges.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FIXTURE
AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. 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.
3. The outlet box and the ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted and must be capable of supporting at least
35 pounds (16 kilograms). Use metal outlet box; the use of plastic outlet boxes is not recommended.
4. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
5. 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.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. If you are not sure the lighting system has a grounding means, DO NOT attempt to install this fixture. Contact a
qualified, licensed electrician for information regarding the proper grounding methods as required by the local
electrical code in your area.
8. All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box that is supported by the building structure.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in
the installation and operation of this fixture.
