1. Remove the Acrylic Lens and
place aside to avoid possible damage.
Slide the lens towards one end of the
fixture. Gently press down the end of
the lens that is away from the housing.
(Be careful not to crack the lens.) This
will release the lens from the retaining
clip. Lift up this end and pull the lens
away from the fixture.
2. Remove the wire cover screw.
Using both hands, squeeze the wire
cover at both ends to release from the
housing and gently pull it away.
3. Turn the fixture over and locate
the center knockout. Make sure the
fixture is supported on the underside
and break part of the knockout away
using a hammer and screw driver.
Twist out the knockout using pliers.
4. Position the housing on the
ceiling with the center knockout over
the electrical box. Mark the ceiling for
the pilot hole locations through the
small holes on either end. Drill 1/8”
pilot holes at each location. Determine
the appropriate way of fastening the
fixture to the ceiling (wood screws or
toggle bolts, not included).
Note: Toggle bolts will require a larger
pilot hole. Secure the fixture to the
ceiling using the appropriate
fasteners. Connect the ground wire to
the ground screw located near the
center knockout. Connect the black
wire from the fixture to the black wire
from the electrical box. Connect the
white wire from the fixture to the
white wire from the electrical box.
Once wires are connected, carefully
tuck wires and marretts into the metal
outlet box.
5. Alternatively, if an outlet
(electrical) box is not available, if the
fixture doesn’t cover the outlet
(electrical) box entirely or if the
electrical leads are coming from either
end of the fixture, please consult a
qualified electrician for Armour Cable
or Conduit Electrical Feed type of
installation.
6. Replace the wire cover by
reversing the process of Step #2.
7. Install proper bulb type and
wattage. Insert the pins on both ends
of the fluorescent tube into the lamp
holders on both ends. Rotate the tube
until a slight "click" is felt. Repeat for
additional bulbs.
8. Replace the lens by reversing the
process of Step #1.
9. Insert the safety clip as shown in
both ends to avoid possible falling of
lens.
