GENERAL
1. To ensure the success of the fixture 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 of the methods of
installing electrical wiring and lighting fixtures secure the services of a qualified
licensed electrician.
3. TOOLS NEEDED: Blade screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, slip joint pliers or
small adjustable wrench, wire cutter/stripper, electrical current tester, stepladder
and electrical tape. NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions outlined on
this sheet are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors that
cannot be built into any product. 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
1. Remove the fixture, shades and parts bag(s) from the carton. Before discarding
the carton, double check packing to make certain that all parts are found.
2. Determine the overall desired length of the fixture. For general convenience the
fixture is shipped with the leads threaded through the stems. If the stems are
rearranged or additional stems are added, tape the ends of the leads to a stiff wire
(coat hanger) to aid in pulling them through the stems.
3. (Starting at the back), thread the 2 longest screws into the mounting ring. (The
green ground screw is the front). Attach the mounting ring to the outlet box. (The
green screw should face the floor).
4. Thread the small hex nuts onto the screws. Adjust the screws so they extend
3/16” beyond the canopy of the fixture. Lock the hex nuts against the mounting
ring.
5. Fasten the ground wire to the green or bare copper wire in the outlet box or to the green
screw on the mounting ring.
NEVER FASTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO THE
BLACK OR “HOT” WIRE! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTIN COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
6. Fasten the white fixture lead 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
connection with electrical tape so that the connection seals the end of the fastener.
MAKE
SURE THAT THERE IS NO EXPOSED WIRE OR STRANDS THAT COULD
CAUSE A DANGEROUS SHORT CIRCUIT!
7. Connect the black fixture lead to the black wire in the outlet box. Fasten the
joined wires as in step 6.
8. Using the end balls fasten the canopy to the outlet box. Loosen, rotate and align the
mounting ring and canopy as necessary.
9. Remove the ring from the threaded socket. Place shade over the socket and
reinstall the ring.
10. Install the lamps (light bulbs)
NOTE: The 4722 (metal shade fixture) is rated for 100 watt type A lamp.
The 4732 (glass shade fixture) is rated for 100 watt type A lamp.
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE!
11. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
