wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 12)

Step 2. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect this wire
to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground wires. If your outlet box does not have a
Ground Wire, then connect the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together.
Secure wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 12)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands. As an
additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the wires with
