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
CO PPER 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.

3. 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 to the crossbar.
Place the canopy over the screwcollar loop and against the ceiling. Adjust the
nipple so
that ¼” of the threads on the screwcollar loop extend beyond the canopy.
Tighten the hex nut against the crossbar.
4. Open the end links of chain and attach the chain to the screwcollar loop. Close
the top link of the chain. Hang the fixture on the chain ar the sedired height.

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 (first) through the ring and
then the canopy. Thread the wires up through the alternating links of the chain to
the outlet box.
