MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1
2
Remove the old fixture. Make yourself a sketch of
how the fixture is wired (index the sketch by wire color) or mark the wires
themselves with masking tape and a pencil so you will know how to connect
the wires to your new fixture. If several wires are involved or if the wiring
seems more complicated and perhaps even includes a red wire, take note of
the connections before you disconnect them.
WARNING: Shut off power at the circuit breaker or
fuse panel before removing the old fixture (Fig. 1).

While holding the fixture up against the
mounting surface, use a pencil to mark the
locations of the keyhole slots onto the
mounting surface (Fig. 4).
Drill a 1/16 in. pilot hole into the marked screw
locations. You can also use an awl, or nail to dimple
the screw holes. Start the screws (F), but do not
tighten fully. Slide the fixture over until the narrow legs
of the keyhole slots are under the heads of the
screws (Fig. 5). Finish tightening the screws
until they are firmly seated, and the fixture is
tightly secured to the mounting surface. Replace
the diffuser. NOTE: The plastic screw
anchors (G) are only to be used for mounting
the fixture onto plaster, or drywall surfaces (Fig.
6). They are not for use with hard surfaces such as wood, or particle board.
NOTE: Do not fully mount fixture until you are done with
wiring.
Remove the diffuser (E) by pulling back and up on the
top edge of the diffuser using your fingertips (Fig. 1).

Remove the bulb (B) from the fixture (A) by placing
your thumbs on the metal ends of the bulb. While
applying slight pressure on the bulb, roll the bulb
toward you until the contact pins on the ends of the
bulb disengage from the socket (Fig. 2). Pull the bulb
straight out from the socket and set aside
during mounting (Fig. 3).

DIRECTWIRE INSTALLATION
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
If your fixture is to be direct wired, you will no longer need your power cord, and
it should be discarded. Do NOT remove the plastic receptacle cap that covers
the input receptacle. DO NOT plug your power cord into light fixture.
Do NOT attempt to defeat this feature.
DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS:
1. Turn off/unplug and allow to cool before replacing bulb (lamp).
2. Use only with a linear fluorescent bulb: GU9712L-T5-WHI Bulb #F8T5;
GU9724L-T5-WHI Bulb #F14T5; GU9733L-T5-WHI Bulb #F21T5
3. Handle bulb(s) with care during replacing. The glass tube of bulb is very
fragile and can break easily.
IMPORTANT: The fluorescent bulb is included with your Utilitech™ fixture. In
order to protect the bulb during shipment, your bulb(s) may be packed in a
separate area of the packing materials. Additionally, your bulbs may already be
placed into their respective sockets, but may have a protective support collar
slipped over the bulb. Do NOT operate your fixture with this support collar in
place. You can either cut this collar off, or remove the bulb from the sockets and
slide the support collar off the bulb. Discard the corrugated support collar.
Before installation, plug in fixture to a 120V 60Hz electrical outlet to check for
proper operation. Then, unplug and begin the installation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE WHILE IT IS PLUGGED INTO AN
ELECTRICAL OUTLET! FOR INDOOR INSTALLATIONS ONLY.
Caution: the wattage of all the bulbs added together in one chain should NOT
exceed 600 W. Installing more than that total wattage can overload the
connector wiring and can result in a hazardous situation. These fluorescent light
fixtures are available in 8 W, 14 W, and 21 W versions. You should identify each
of the versions you have on hand, and add up the total number of bulbs to insure
that it does not exceed 600 W.
