Safety Information

DANGER:

• Read and understand all instructions before assembly or operation. Failure to do so could lead to electrical shock, fire, or fatal injuries.
• Never connect this fixture to an electrical system without a proper grounding means.
• Do not allow fixture wires or connections to become broken, cut, or loose, as metal parts could carry electrical currents, leading to shock.
• Do not connect the bare or green fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) or white (NEUTRAL) house wire.
• Do not damage or cut wire insulation during installation. Avoid sharp edges contacting wires.

WARNING:

• All electrical connections must comply with local codes, the National Electric Code (NEC), and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999.
• Consult your municipal building department for local codes and permits.
• Dwellings built before 1985 may have supply wire rated for 140 °F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
• Use gloves when handling parts with sharp edges to avoid personal injury.
• Do not suspend any fixture by the house wires. Fixtures must be mounted directly to an outlet box or mounting strap.
• Wire connectors are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fixture lead wires. For larger gauge wires or multiple house wires, consult an electrician.
• Do not use power tools for assembly to prevent fixture damage.

CAUTION:

• Turn off electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker before installation.
• If unsure about grounding, do not install. Contact a qualified electrician.
• All fixtures must be mounted to an outlet box supported by the building structure.
• Do not use bulbs with wattage exceeding the fixture's maximum rating.
• Use bulbs approved for base-up position.
• Consult a professional for dimmer control switch compatibility and electrical rating.
• Ensure all screws, bolts, and nuts are secure before completing installation.

2. Remove existing fixture and disconnect all electrical wiring.

   [Diagram: Old fixture being removed and wires disconnected]

3. Attach mounting strap (C) to outlet box (not included) using existing washers and outlet box screws or machine screws (BB). If outlet box screws differ in size from machine screws (BB), consult a licensed electrician. Tighten machine screws (BB) securely.

   CAUTION: Ensure the outlet box can support 35 lbs. hanging weight. Use a metal outlet box; plastic outlet boxes are not recommended.

5. Locate two posts at the top of fixture (A). Partially loosen screws. Align the hole of a 23.8-inch rod (L) with a loosened screw in the fixture (A) post. Tighten screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining 23.8-inch rod (L).

   [Diagram: Attaching 23.8-inch rods (L) to the top of fixture (A)]

6. Locate two posts on the topside of the large fixture ring. Partially loosen screws. Insert the other end of a 23.8-inch rod (L) into the corresponding post on the large fixture ring, aligning the hole with the loosened screw. Tighten screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining 23.8-inch rod (L). NOTE: Rods should not cross.

7. Locate two posts on the underside of the large fixture ring. Partially loosen screws. Insert an 11-inch rod (M) into the post on the underside of the large fixture ring, aligning the hole with the loosened screw. Tighten screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining 11-inch rod (M).

8. Locate two posts on the topside of the small fixture ring. Partially loosen screws. Insert the other end of an 11-inch rod (M) into the corresponding post on the small fixture ring, aligning the hole with the loosened screw. Tighten screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining 11-inch rod (M).

9. Attach connecting chain link (J) and chain (I) to fixture loop (H). Close connecting chain link (J).

   [Diagram: Connecting chain link (J) and chain (I) to fixture loop (H)]

10. Determine the desired hanging length for fixture (A). Use pliers, a flathead screwdriver, and a soft cloth to open the chain link (I) at the chosen length. Remove any extra chain (I) and close the link. Feed wiring from fixture (A) up through chain (I) to the pre-determined length.

11. Remove threaded ring (G) from screw collar loop (F). Feed chain (I) and wiring through threaded ring (G) and then canopy (B). Allow threaded ring (G) and canopy (B) to slide down the chain (I) until they reach the top of fixture (A). Lift chain (I) toward threaded rod (D) and attach screw collar loop (F) onto threaded rod (D).

12. Feed wiring up through the hole at the bottom of threaded rod (D). Gently push wiring until it comes through the top of threaded rod (D). Pull all wiring to remove slack in the wires running through the chain (I).

    [Diagram: Feeding wiring through threaded rod (D)]

13. Strip 3/4 inch of insulation from wire ends using wire strippers. Connect the BARE/GREEN ground wire from the outlet box to the BARE ground wire from fixture (A) using wire connector (AA). Connect the RIBBED wire from fixture (A) to the WHITE wire from the outlet box using a wire connector (AA). Connect the SMOOTH wire from fixture (A) to the BLACK wire from the outlet box using a wire connector (AA).

    NOTE: If the outlet box lacks a BARE/GREEN wire, attach the fixture's BARE ground wire to the GREEN SCREW (GND) on mounting strap (C).

    NOTE: Screw wire connectors (AA) on clockwise.

    WARNING: Never connect the ground wire to the WHITE or BLACK power supply wires.

    WARNING: Wire connectors (AA) are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fixture lead wires. Consult an electrician for proper size wire connectors if your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or if there is more than one house wire.
