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.

FIXTURE INSTALLATION:

1. Attach the crossbar to the outlet box. (The green screw should face the floor).

2. Thread wire through stem , end nut and canopy.

4.Trim excess wire to min. 6” beyond stem, strip to 5/8” and twist.

or bare copper wire in the box to the crossbar with green screw provided.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE BLACK OR “HOT” WIRE!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH!

6. 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 connection with the electrical tape so that the tape seals the end of the
fastener. Make sure that there is no exposed wire or strands that could cause a
dangerous short circuit!
