Product Usage Instructions
-
Carefully remove all parts from the box and place them on a clean, soft surface.
-
Remove the mounting plate (F) and metal plate (H) from the canopy (J) by unscrewing the canopy screws (K).
-
Using the mounting plate (F) as a guide, align it with the junction box and mark the anchor positions.
-
Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the anchors, drill holes in the marked positions and install the anchors (A) using a hammer.
-
Install the mounting plate (F) to the junction box and secure it with mounting screws (E). Then, secure the wood screws (D) to the anchors (A).
-
Loosen the set screws (I) and feed the hanging cables through the canopy (J) and metal plate (H).
-
Route three hanging cables through the holes on the bracket of the mounting plate (F). Loosen the cable lock, install it to the end of the hanging cables, and insert the other end of the cables through the cable lock. Adjust the cables to the desired length and
then re-secure the screws and set screws (I). Repeat this step with the remaining wires. -
Loosen the set screw (G) and feed the fixture wire through the canopy (J), metal plate (H), and mounting plate (F). Adjust the wire to the desired length and then tighten the set screw (G) using the provided screwdriver.
-
After achieving the desired fixture height, shorten the wires using a pair of cutters, leaving enough length to reach the mounting plate (F). Ensure that the fixture height and level are accurate before cutting the wires.
-
Remove the outer housing of the wire by making a neat cut around 1 inch from the end. Remove and discard the 1-inch piece of housing, exposing the electrical wires. Be careful not to cut too deep into the housing to avoid damaging the electrical wires.
-
Wrap the fixture ground wire (bare copper) around the green grounding screw. Tighten it. Then, continue the fixture ground wire and connect it to the supply ground wire (usually green or bare copper) using the wire nut (B). It is important to ensure that the fixture is properly grounded.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
-
Carefully remove all parts from the box. Place on a clean, soft surface.
-
Remove mounting plate (F) and metal plate (H) from canopy (J) by removing canopy screws (K).
-
Using mounting plate (F) as a guide, line up with the junction box and mark anchor positions.
-
Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the anchor, drill holes in the marked positions. Install anchors (A) into the holes using hammer.
-
Install mounting plate (F) to junction box and secure with mounting screws (E), then secure wood screws (D) to anchors (A).
-
Loosen set screws (I) and feed hanging cables through canopy (J) and metal plate (H).
-
Route three hanging cables through holes on bracket of mounting plate (F). Loosen cable lock and install to end of hanging cables. Insert other end of cables through the cable lock and adjust to desired length. Once complete re-secure screws and set screws (I).
Repeat steps with the remaining wires. See diagram 1 & 2.
NOTE : Once desired height is achieved cut hanging wires using a pair of cutters. Ensure fixture height and level are accurate before
cutting wires. -
Loosen set screw (G) and feed fixture wire through canopy (J), metal plate (H) and mounting plate (F) and adjust wire to desired length then tighten set screw (G) using provided screwdriver.
See diagram 1.
NOTE : Make sure there is no tension on the electrical wire when fixture is fully extended. -
After fixture height is achieved shorten the wires by using a pair of cutters (not included), leaving enough length to reach mounting plate (F).
NOTE : Final leveling in later step will only allow for small adjustments. Make sure fixture height and fixture level are accurate before cutting wires. -
Remove outer housing of wire by making a neat cut all the way around, about 1” from the end. Once cut is made, remove and discard the 1” piece of housing, exposing the electrical wires.
NOTE : Make sure not to cut too deep into housing or electrical wires could become damaged. -
Wrap fixture ground wire (bare copper) around the green grounding screw (see diagram 3). Tighten. Continue fixture ground wire and connect to supply ground wire (usually green or bare copper) using wire nut (B).
NOTE : It is imperative that the fixture is grounded. -
Connect fixture neutral wire (white) to the supply neutral wire (usually white) using wire nut (B).
-
Connect fixture hot wire (black) to the supply hot wire (usually black) using wire nut (B).
CAUTION : Do not reverse the hot and neutral connections. -
Make sure all wire connections are tight, then carefully tuck into the junction box.
