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
1.Remove the fixture and parts bag(s) from the carton. Before discarding the
carton, double check packing to make certain that all parts are found.
2. Attach the mounting bar to the outlet box. (The green screw should face out).
Pull wires out of box. Thread the nipple onto the mounting bar.
3. Measure 6" of lead wire beyond the end of the chain. Cut off excess wire.
Strip the insulation off the ends of the leads exposing approx. 1/2 " of wire.
Twist the strands of wire together. Push the leads and ground wire up through
the screwcollar loop and nipple and into the outlet box.
4. Fasten the bare ground wire to the green or bare copper wire in the outlet box
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 !
5. 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 !
6. Connect the smooth fixture lead to the black wire in the outlet box. Fasten
the joined wires as in step 5.
7. Slide the canopy and screwcollar ring up the chain and secure the canopy to the
ceiling.
8. Open end links of chain and attach the chain to the loop. Close the top link of
chain. Hang the fixture on the chain at the desired height. Remove excess chain.
Close the bottom link of chain.
9. Install the lamp(s) this fixture is rated for 60 watt type C lamp;
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE !
10. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
