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.
4. This fixture is supplied with a 5-
piece stem. There is one 6” section, one 12”
section and two 18” sections. This feature allows the fixture to be mounted with a
stem up to 54” in length in 3” increments.
5. This fixture is supplied with a swivel. By rotating the mounting cup the fixture
may be mounted to an angled ceiling.
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 crossbar. (The green
ground screw is the front). Attach the crossbar 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 crossbar.
5. Fasten the green fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box or
fasten it to the mounting plate 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 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 !
7. Connect the black fixture wires 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 crossbar and canopy as necessary.
9. Remove the ring from the threaded socket. Place shade over the socket and
reinstall the ring.
10. Install the lamp(s) light bulb(s).
NOTE: This fixture is rated for 100 watt type A lamp(s).
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE !
11. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
