To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to assure proper operation,
this fixture must be adequately grounded. To accomplish proper
grounding there must be a separate ground wire (green) or bare metal

2.
Preparing for installation.
A. Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing any part of this fixture.
B. Carefully remove contents of cartons and separate all items.
C. Assembling the Canopy with the Inner Shade Assembly:
 Feed through the wires (13) to the hub washer (11) of the inner shade (12)
and through the stem (9) and to the canopy (7).
 Make sure to securely tighten the stem (9) with a lock washer on top of
the hub washer (11).
D. Install the mounting strap crossbar (3) with the two 1-1/8” screws (5) to the
junction box (1) (not provided).
Wiring. All wiring must take place inside junction box. Caution: Make sure
power is off at fuse or circuit breaker box. Check wires for damage or scrapes. Consult
a qualified electrician before installing.
A. This unit may 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 connect the green
wire from the canopy (6) of the fixture to the in-coming green (earth) ground
wire.
B. Using wire connectors provided, connect white supply wire to the white wire
from the fixture. Connect black hot supply wire to black wire from the
fixture. Do not mix wires. Make sure connections are secure and tucked
carefully into the junction box (1).
3.
Fixture mounting.
A. Line up holes in canopy (7) with screws (2) in mounting strap crossbar (3),
slide canopy (7) up and secure with thumbnuts (8). Note: You might have to
adjust the protruding length of the screws (2) and the hexnuts (4) to mount
the thumbnuts (8) properly on the canopy (7).
4.
Lamp Installation (lamps included on models ending with “SCT”).
A. For models ending in MV, use only 18W/26W (max) fluorescent, quad 4pin lamps (17). To install, line up lamp pins with the corresponding holes
in the lamp socket (16) and push lamp into place until a click is heard.
Repeat for each lamp.
B. Models ending in SCT use a GU24 base lamp (18W/26W max). To
install, line up lamp pins with the corresponding holes in lamp socket
and turn clockwise until a click is heard (Fig 7). Repeat for each lamp.
