WARNING
• 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 a mounting strap which is first attached to the outlet box. 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.
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble
the product.
