instructions outlined on this sheet are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common

Caution and care must be supplied by the person(s) installing, operating and
maintaining this lighting fixture.
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

discarding the carton, double check packing to make certain that all parts are
found.
2. Remove the 3 screws holding the mounting plate to the fixture.
3. Pull the wires in the outlet box through the center hole of the mounting
plate. Attach the mounting plate to the outlet box. (The green ground screw

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 connection with electrical
tape so that the tape seals the end of the fastener.

dangerous short circuit !

Fasten the joined wires as in step 5.
