GENERAL
1. To insure 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, slip joint pliers, 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 fixtuer was attached. DO NOT SEPARATE ANY OTHER
WIRES THAT MAY BE IN THE BOX. DO NOT DAMAGE THE INSULATION OF
OLDER WIREING. In regular circumstances the BLACK wire will be the “Hot” lead
and the WHTE 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 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 plate(the green ground screw should face out), to the outlet box
with screws(A) provided.
3. Fasten the bare copper fixture wire to the green or bare copper wire in the box
or bare copper wire in the box 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!
4. 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 the 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!
5. Connect the black fixture wires to the black wire in the outlet box. Fasten the
joined wires as in step 4.
6. Place the fixture over the outlet box and fasten it in place with the screw(C).
7. Carefully open the clips in the shade(s). Place the shade(s) onto the socket
sleeve(s) and lock it by ring.
8. Install the lamp(s) (light bulb(s). NOTE: The fixture is rated for 60 watt type B or C
lamp(s).
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WATTAGE!
9. Restore power to circuit at breaker or fuse box.
