washers (8) and two hex nuts are installed to the
plate (5), and also make sure that the wires (19) and
ground wire (7) are placed under the plate (5) and
the end wires are able to reach the wiring location
area. Install the plate on the outlet box. Note: To rigidly
secure the plate, it is recommended to use an outlet box
and extra support hardware ¼ trade size screws (not

two #8-32x1inch (4) and use the ball nut
(11) to secure the canopy temporarily.
B. Feed through the wires (19) to the stem (14)
and thread the end of the stem to the nipple
that is attached on the swivel bracket
assembly (A). Repeat these procedures to
connect the other stem (without wires) to the
swivel bracket assembly (B). Note: When
tightening the stem to the threads of the nipple from swivel bracket
assembly (a) and (b) make sure that the swivel ball groove is locked in
place to the bracket tab.
5. Assembling Channel Fixture (Use Fig 1 to Fig 4)
