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.
