• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp
edges.
•
DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an
outlet box or to a mounting strap which is first attached to the outlet box. The outlet box must be
supported by the building structure. 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.
• To avoid water damage to fixture or possible electrical malfunction, install fixture at least 4 ft. above
the ground/floor.
