Installation & Assembly

GENERAL
1. To ensure successful installation, the following instructions and diagram(s) should
be read and understood.
2. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the National Electric
code and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain how to install electrical
wiring and lighting fixtures, secure the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
TOOLS NEEDED
Blade screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, slip joint pliers or small adjustable wrench,
wire cutter/stripper, electrical current tester, stepladder and electrical tape.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. TURN OFF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO WHICH
THE LIGHTING FIXTURE IS TO BE ATTACHED. Turn 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
MULTIPLE TWISTED 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 an octagon box. The box must be
securely mounted to the structure of the building.
FIXTURE INSTALLATION

or the green screw on the crossbar.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE BLACK OR "HOT"
WIRE ! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH !
4. Fasten the fixture lead with the ridge(s) to the white wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the wires together with an approved fastener (wire nut) Starting about 1"
below the fastener, tightly wrap the connetion with 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 !
5. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box. Fasten the
joined wires as in step 4.
6. Place the back plate over the outlet box and fasten it end ball.
