connection of your main power supply panel. The green ground
screw location is clearly marked on the fixture housing.

This fixture is intended to be used for dry locations only.

A. To locate, hold channel (5) up to ceiling with power supply knockout (4) located over entryway for power supply wires.

Mark the locations of the mounting holes on the ceiling. Take the channel down and punch a small hole into the ceiling at
each location using a nail or an awl to see if there is a wood joist. If there is a joist use a suitable wood screw (not included)
to mount the channel. Where there is no joist to screw into use a ¼” toggle bolt (not included) of suitable length to mount
channel (5) securely to the ceiling. Proceed to step 2.B. before final mounting.

B. Feed the black and white supply wires, and the green ground wire into the fixture through open knockout hole. At this time

you can finish mounting the fixture to the ceiling.

3.

are within three inches of ballast use wire suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply
wire rated to 60C. Consult a qualified electrician before installing.
