• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp
edges.
•
A fixture must always be mounted directly to a post (for a post light) or pier base which is first
installed according to the electrical specifications and instructions accompanying that product. Wire
connectors will not support the weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire
connectors will result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal injury and the danger of
electrical shock or fire.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this light
fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light
fixture. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to
the corresponding fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to
use.
•
To reduce the risk of damage to the fixture, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the
fixture.
• Failure to
caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant may result in water damage in
outlet box, which may cause electrical malfunction or electrical shock.
