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 PREPARATION
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. Assemble the stem, scroll and loop assembly to the fixture body.
FIXTURE INSTALLATION
1. Attach the crossbar to the outlet box. (The green screw should face the floor)
2. Remove the threaded ring from the screwcollar loop. Fully thread the loop onto the
nipple. Thread the hex nut onto the nipple and 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.
3. Open end links of chain to the screwcollar loop. Close the top link of chain. Hang
the fixture on the chain at the desired height. Remove the excess chain. Close the
bottom link of chain.4. 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.
5. 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
nippke and into the outlet box.
6. 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!
7. 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 !
8. Connect the smooth fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet
box. Fasten the joined wires as in step 7.
9. Slide the canopy and screwcollar ring up the chain and secure
the canopy to the ceiling.
10.Thread the fixture loop onto the fixture.
11.Twist the fixture body onto the nipple on the wire box.
12. Place the shades into the socket sleeves.
.13. Install the lamp(s).
NOTE: This fixture is rated for 60 watt type B, BA, C or CA lamp(s).
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE !
14. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
