INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
WARNING: BE SURE THE ELECTRICITY TO THE WIRES
YOU ARE WORKING ON IS SHUT OFF; EITHER THE FUSE IS
REMOVED OR THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS SHUT OFF.
GENERAL
You don’t need special tools to install this fixture. Be sure to
follow the steps in the order given. Under no circumstances
should a fixture be hung on house electrical wires, nor should a
swag type fixture be installed on a ceiling which contains a
radiant type heating system. Read instructions carefully. If you
are unclear as to how to proceed, consult a qualified electrician.
NOTE: Proper wiring is essential for the safe operation of this
fixture.
FIXTURE ASSEMBLY
Carefully remove the fixture from the carton and check that all
parts are included as shown in figure. Be careful not to misplace
any of the screws or parts, which are needed to install this
fixture.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Do not attach fixture directly to outlet box.
STEP 1: Secure mounting bar (A) to outlet box with outlet box
screws (B).Thread nut (D) onto nipple (E). Insert lock
washer (C) and thread the nipple (E) onto mounting
bar (A), then secure with the nut (D).
STEP 2: Thread screw collar ring (G) onto nipple (E). Slide
screw collar ring (G) and canopy (F) over screw collar
ring (G). Using a pair of pliers, open the end link of the
chain (H) and connect it to fixture loop (I). Close the
link.
BE SURE TO CLOSE ALL CHAIN LINKS COMPLETELY.
STEP 4: Lace wires up through chain (H) and pass wires
through holes in screw collar ring (G). We recommend
lacing wire up through every other link of chain (H).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Insert the green grounding screw into the hole with two
raised dimples on the mounting bar. Wrap the ground
wire from the fixture (if supplied) around the green
grounding screw, then connect it to ground wire from
the outlet box (if not fixed on the outlet box) using a
wire connector (not supplied). If ground wire from the
fixture is not supplied, wrap the ground wire (if not fixed
on the outlet box) from the outlet box around the green
grounding screw and tighten it.
NEVER CONNECT GROUND WIRE TO BLACK OR WHITE
POWER SUPPLY WIRES.
STEP 2: Take note of the color of the wire(s) on your fixture.
Identify which group your fixture wire(s) falls into and
connect the wires according to the directions below:
GROUP A: Connect to Black
House Wire
GROUP B: Connect to White
House Wire
BLACK
WHITE
*PARALLEL WIRE (round &
smooth)
*PARALLEL WIRE (square &
ridged)
WHITE OR GREY WITH
TRACER
WHITE OR GREY WITHOUT
TRACER
BROWN GOLD OR BLACK
WITHOUT TRACER
BROWN, GOLD OR BLACK
WITH TRACER
*NOTE: When parallel wire (SPT-I & SPT-2) is used, the tracer
wire is square shaped or ridged and the less tracer wire is round
in shape or smooth (seen best when viewed from wire end.)
STEP 3: Take your fixture wire(s) from group A and place evenly
against the black wire from the outlet box. Do NOT
twist wires together before using wire connectors.
STEP 4: Fit a wire connector (not supplied) over the wires and
screw the connector clockwise until you feel firmness.
STEP 5: Try gently to pull the connector off the wires. If you can
pull the connector off, carefully re-do steps 3 and 4 as
above, and check again for a firm connection.
STEP 6: Connect the fixture wire from group B to the white wire
from the outlet box in the same manner. Make sure no
bare wires can be seen outside wire connectors.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
STEP 1: After wires are connected, tuck them carefully inside
outlet box. Raise canopy (F) allowing for nipple (E) to
protrude through the holes on canopy (F), and secure
with screw collar ring (G).
STEP 2: Place glass (L) over socket (K), and secure with socket
ring (M).
STEP 3: Install light bulbs. (Please do not exceed the maximum
capacity recommended on the socket.)
