INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your light fixture, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.
- The lighting fixture must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.
- All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are provided for your safety. It is very important that
they are read carefully and completely before beginning installation of the
lighting fixture.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Carefully remove all contents from the carton. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and completely remove the old fixture from the ceiling, including the old mounting bracket. Remove the new mounting bracket assembly from the bag. Remove cap nuts (F) from mounting screws (B). Place the mounting plate (A) over the junction box so that mounting screws (B) and nuts (T) extend out away from the ceiling. Depending on the placement of your junction box the position of mounting screws (B) may need to be adjusted to allow the canopy to be flush with the ceiling. Adjust the position of mounting screws (B) so that mounting screws (B) can be exposed 5-6 mm after passing through the canopy (D) to properly fit the cap nuts. Mounting screws (B) can be adjusted by loosening nuts (T) and loosening or tightening mounting screws (B). Once the ideal position of mounting screws (B) has been confirmed, tighten nuts (T) on mounting screws (B) on the front of the mounting plate to ensure that mounting screws (B) are secure. Pull the house wires through the center of mounting plate (A). Secure mounting plate (A) to the junction box by tightening the screws (C).
ASSEMBLING THE FIXTURE
-
FOR INSTALLATION AS PENDANT:
Thread the wires through and screw the lower end of the center rod (M) into the threaded hole of the fixture (N), then attach one end of the chain (L) on hook (K) and attach the other end of the chain (L) into ring (O) on the lamp cup. Repeat for each chain.
There are 4 12-inch rods (H), and 1 6-inch rod (I) included for each fixture. Determine the correct number of rods needed for proper hanging height. To lengthen the fixture, add additional rods. To shorten the fixture, trim the wires to desired length. Leave at least 8 to 10 inches of wire in addition to the desired length and slide any excess rods off the fixture’s wiring to discard. Keep in mind that you must use at least one rod to hang the fixture. Thread the wires through the rods and pull the wires until taut before connecting the rods together. All threads should be engaged but do not overtighten (some manual straightening of the downrods may be required). Screw rod onto threaded post (J) on the fixture. Pull the fixture wires through the top of the canopy. Screw the top rod to hang straight (G) of canopy (D). -
FOR INSTALLATION AS FLUSHMOUNT:
Unscrew the hex nut (P) in the canopy (D) and set aside washers (S, R, Q) and hex nut (P). Remove the hang straight (G) from the canopy (D). Pass wires and threaded post (J) through canopy (D) and secure it with washers (S, R, Q) and hex nut (P).
CONNECTING THE WIRES
Have a helper support the fixture’s weight while completing the wiring. Attach the fixtures wires to the power supply wires from the junction box. Connect black to black (Live); white to white (grounded); grounding to grounding (green or copper). Twist the ends of the wire pairs together. Then, twist on a wire connector. Make sure all twists are in the same direction. Loop fixture’s ground wire around grounding screw (E) and tighten. If there is no ground wire (green or copper) from the junction box, contact a qualified electrician.
FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
Raise canopy (D) to mounting plate (A) and position mounting screws (B) so
that they protrude through the openings of canopy (D). Secure canopy (D) in
place with cap nuts (F). Install light bulbs (not included) in accordance with
the fixture’s specifications.
Do not exceed the recommended wattage. Your installation is now complete. Turn
on the power and test the fixture.
CLEANING TIPS
Treat the fixture gently! Regular cleaning will reduce the need for deep cleaning. For regular cleaning, turn off the light and wipe down the fixture with a clean lint-free cotton or microfiber cloth. Never spray cleaner directly onto the fixture.
NOTICE
In order to use a 12in rod by itself you must first remove the post from the
6in rod and install it on one of the ends of the 12in rod.
Hunter Pro Tip:
Twist or tape wire ends together to make it easier to pass them through the
downrods.
Threaded post may also be removed for easier wire access.
