2.2 Tenon Mounting
2.2.1 Loosen the screw holding the wire chamber cover to the tenon fitter and remove the cover.
2.2.2 Being careful not to pinch supply wires, slide the fixture onto the tenon until the tenon seats against the anchor screw. See Figure 1

2.2.3 Align the fixture as necessary and then adjust the appropriate set screws until the base of the tenon fitter is level.
2.2.4 Tighten the set screws from 10-12 ft-lbs. Do not exceed torque.
2.2.5 Make the appropriate electrical connections using wire rated for at least 90°C.
2.2.6 Secure the supply wires with a wire tie in such a way as to relieve stress on the wire connections.

a. The shorter backing plate has 3 holes. The top and bottom holes are threaded.
b. The longer universal backing plate has 1 top hole and a slot with a sliding threaded hole.

2.5.3 Hold the first bar (See Figure 5a) with 3 holes up to the mounting holes on the pole and if they align use that bar. Use the bar (See Figure 5b) with the sliding thread for all other patterns.

Insert one 3/8” mounting bolt through the top hole of the pole. Thread this bolt into the flat bar (See Figure 5a) stock top hole. If the pole has a different hole pattern, use the bar (See Figure 5b) with the slide on it.
For a round pole, the round pole adapter (RPA) is required which is placed between the pole and the fixture as shown with curved side facing the pole and flat side facing away from pole (See Figure 6).

NOTE: When using the Round Pole Adaptor, use a round pole with aminimum diameter of 3.2 inches.
