GENERAL
1. To ensure successful installation, the following instructions and diagram(s) should
be read and understood.
2. All elecrical 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. 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. Attach the crossbar to the outlet box. (The green screw should face the floor).
3. Remove the threaded ring from the screwcollar loop. Fully thread the loop onto
the nipple into the crossbar. Place the canopy over the screwcollar loop and
against the ceiling. Adjust the nipple so that ¼” of threads on the screwcollar loop
extend beyond the canopy. Tighten the hex nut against the crossbar.
4. Hang the fixture on the chain at the desired height. Remove the excess chain.
The fixture can be hung directly on the chain or the optional quick link can be used.
Close the bottom link of the chain.
5. Unscrew the ring from the screwcollar loop. Let the ring and canopy slide down
the chain to the top of the fixture. Thread the lead wires and ground wire (first)
through the ring and then the canopy. Thread the wires up through alternating
links of the chain to the outlet box.
6. 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. ½” 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.
7. Fasten the green fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box or
fasten it to the crossbar 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!
8
. Fasten the white fixture wire 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 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 !
9. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box.
Fasten the joined wires as in step 8.
