plications, and should not be used in areas of limited
ventilation, or in high ambient temperature enclosures; it
should be installed and maintained according to following

INSTALLATION
REFLECTOR ROTATION—Reflectors which have
internal sockets may be rotated such that socket is in any of
four positions. This allows variations in beam aiming. To
rotate reflector follow procedure below.
1. Rotation best accomplished before mounting luminaire .
2. Remove four screws which attach reflector to brackets.
Ballast compartment barrier is also removed.
3. Rotate reflector to desired position, being careful not to
twist socket lead wires.
4. Reattach reflector by inserting two screws at latch end of
luminaire first.
5. Reposition ballast compartment barrier and insert two
rear screws, reaching under reflector to position reflector
brackets as necessary.
