- Carefully pull house wires through the round hole in the mounting bracket (A). Align the bracket's holes with the junction box holes.
- Thread junction box screws (B) into the mounting bracket (A) and junction box holes. Tighten screws (B) to secure the bracket. CAUTION: Ensure house wires are pulled completely through the bracket hole. DO NOT pinch wires between the mounting bracket and the wall.
- Strip 3/4" (approx. 19.05 mm) of insulation from the ends of the fixture wires.
- Slightly loosen the ground screw on the mounting bracket (A), but do not remove it completely. Wrap the house ground wire (copper) around the ground screw, leaving enough wire to connect to the fixture ground wire. Twist the end of the fixture ground wire and the house ground wire together. Secure with wire nut (C). Tighten wire nut (C) completely. Refer to the wiring chart for correct connections.
