pull supply wire leads from knuckle cavity (See Figure 12a) 

2. Slip luminaire knuckle fitter over 2-3/8”Ø pole tenon and evenly tighten the six (6) 3/8-16 UNC knuckle tenon set 

screws to 23-27 ft-lbs, while maintaining the correct position of the luminaire.

3. Cut and splice the wires. Recommended cut length is 6" for wires for ease of splicing and securing in the knuckle. 

(See Figure 12b)
