WARNING
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK – Disconnect power before installation or
maintenance. LED Retrofit Kit installation requires knowledge of luminaires
electrical systems. If not qualified, do not attempt installation. Contact a
qualified electrician. Install this kit only in luminaires that have the
construction features and dimensions shown in the photographs and/or drawings
and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input
rating of the luminaire. Luminaire wiring and electrical parts may be damaged
when drilling for installation of LED retrofit kit. Check for enclosed wiring
and components. Only those open holes indicated in the photographs and/or
drawings may be made or altered as a result of kit installation. Do not leave
any other open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components. To
prevent wiring damage or abrasion, do not expose wiring to edges of sheet
metal or other sharp objects. Installers should not disconnect existing wires
from lamp holder terminals to make new connections at lamp holder terminals.
Instead installers should cut existing lamp holder leads away from the lamp
holder and make new electrical connections to lamp holder lead wires by
employing applicable connectors. THE RETROFIT KIT IS ACCEPTED AS A COMPONENT
OF A LUMINAIRE WHERE THE SUITABILITY OF THE COMBINATION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
