5. If using romex strain relief bushing, snap the bushing into the open hole. See Figure 4.
   (Not required if mounting over junction box).

6. Insert house power supply cable through strain relief bushing. See Figure 5.
   If mounting over junction box, feed house supply cable through open hole on top of fixture.

7. Position the fixture housing against the mounting surface and with a pencil, mark the screw hole locations to be located at the narrow section of the keyholes. See Figure 6.
