To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to assure proper operation,
this fixture must be adequately grounded. To accomplish proper

Assembly Instructions
1. Preparing for installation
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of
this fixture.
B. Remove fixture from carton; remove backpan assembly (4) and diffuser
assembly (9).
All wiring must take place inside junction box. Caution: Make sure
power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check power wires for damage or
scrapes. If power supply wires are within three inches of ballast use wire
suitable for at least 90C (194F). Note: Most dwellings built before 1985
have supply wire rated to 60C. Consult a qualified electrician before
installing. This unit will not operate properly unless connected to a
“grounded” electrical circuit. Electrical shock, over heating, low or no light
output, and shortened lamp life can result if proper grounding is not done.
Securely attach green (or green and yellow) wire to ground supply wire.
A. For wiring ballast power leads and power supply wires use Ballast
Disconnect Instructions (included).
