INSTALLATION PREPARATION

1. TURN OFF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE LIGHTING FIXTURE IS
TO BE ATTACHED. Move the appropriate circuit breaker to the “off position or completely

remove the fuse controlling the circuit.

2. If an existing fixture is being replaced, remove it and note to which of the wires in the outlet
box the fixture was attached. DO NOT SEPARATE ANY OTHER WIRES THAT MAY BE IN

THE BOX. DO NOT DAMAGE THE INSULATION OF OLDER WIRING.

In regular circumstances the BLACK wire will be the “Hot” lead and the WHITE wire will be the
“Neutral” or “Common” lead. A GREEN or BARE COPPER wire is the “Ground”. In older

buildings it is always good practice to reconfirm the polarity of the wiring.

3. This fixture is designed to be mounted on a standard round or octagon box. The box must be
securely mounted to the structure of the building.

FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH !

5. Fasten the white fixture wire to the white wire in the outlet box. Fasten the wires to together

with an approved fastener (wire nut). Starting about 1” below the fastener, tightly wrap
