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.
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. Thread lead ground wire through pipe stem and twist the stem tightly onto body. Keep adding
additional stems required.
3. Slide in the canopy to the stem, and thread the swivel to the stem.
4. Attach the mounting bar to the outlet box. (The green screw should face the floor).
5. Trim excess wire to min. 6” beyond stem, strip to 5/8” and twist.
6. 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!
7. 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) Sterting 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!
8. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box. Fasten the joined wires as
in step 7.
9. Attach the canopy with the fixture to the ceiling and secure it by the end balls.
10. Install the lamp(s). The fixture is rated for 60 watt type G 16 1/2 lamp.
