2Refer to your light plan. Arrange boxed light
fixtures on floor in specified mounting locations.
3Remove the fixture from the packaging and check
the contents (see section 2.2).
WARNING

4.2 INSTALLING THE FIXTURE
STEP 1: MOUNT FIXTURE
The fixture can be mounted to the roof structure in
one of three possible ways:
OPTION A
1With one person supporting the fixture on
either end, raise the fixture so that it sits flush
beneath the track/truss.
2Lower one of the supplied mounting brackets
over the top of the track/truss at either end of
the fixture. Insert the open ends of the bracket
into the mounting channel.
3
While still supporting the fixture from below, push
down on brackets until they clip firmly in place.

OPTION B
1Place the fixture (with the glass lens facing down)
on a cushioned surface to prevent damage.
2Insert the open ends of the supplied mounting
brackets into the mounting channel on either end
of the fixture at a 45° angle, then tilt the brackets
upright until they clip firmly in place.
3
Raise the fixture and secure the attached
mounting brackets to previously installed side
brackets (not supplied) as shown below.
OPTION C
