2 DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE WIRING OR SERVICING FIXTURE.
1 PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCTION SHEET BEFORE INSTALLATION.
3 WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL INSULATION WITHIN THREE INCHES OF FIXTURE SIDES OR TOP TO ENTRAP HEAT.
PREPARATION1 Remove plastering plug from aperture assembly. (See Fig. 1)2 Loosen 4 screws and separate aperture assembly from fixture. (See Fig. 2)3 NOTE: Protect plastering plug and aperture assembly from any damage by storing them in a safe place until ready for use.
CEILING THICKNESS1 Place the rail assemblies (packed separately) on the fixture. The rail assemblies may be adjusted to accommodate the following ceiling thicknesses:
3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4” & 7/8”2 Move rail assemblies to the proper slot as indicated on label and firmly tighten wing nuts. (See Figs. 3, 4 & 5)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLUSH MOUNT FIXTURES
MOUNTING FIXTURE TO CEILING1 Determine the space where fixture is to be installed.2 Measure the space between the joists or T-rails. (See Figs. 6 & 7) NOTE: T-rails must be suitable for gypboard applications.3 Loosen 8 wing nuts (4 on each side of the rail assemblies) and set the rail lengths to fit the measured space. (See Fig. 8)4 Tighten 4 wing nuts at the top of the rail assemblies. (See Fig.11)5 Insert fixture into ceiling space. NOTE: The perforated portions of the rail assemblies must lie flush with joists or T-rails. (See Fig. 10, 11 &12)6 Anchor rail assemblies as described: For anchoring to wood joists: Hammer the forked tabs into joists then nail or screw rail ends to joists. (See Figs. 9 & 10) Nailing requires a minimum of 2 nails per rail end.

MOUNTING FIXTURE TO CEILING(Continued from page 2) For anchoring to T-rails: Rail assemblies may be mounted parallel or perpendicular to T-rails. (See Figs. 13 & 15) Lock the rails in place with the supplied self-threading screws. (See Figs. 14 & 18)
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS (See Fig. 16 & 17)1 To re-position fixture, loosen 8 wing nuts on the rail assemblies.2 Move the fixture along the length of the rails to the desired location.3 Firmly lock all 8 wing nuts.Fig. 12

WIRING1 Disconnect electrical power before wiring.2 All electrical connections must be in accordance with local codes and the National Electrical Code.3 Fixture must be grounded.4 See fixture installation instruction sheet for specific wiring instructions and/or wiring diagrams.
GYPBOARD CEILING INSTALLATION1 Please read the label located on fixture aperture pan BEFORE installing gypboard. The label indicates where the drywall screws (by others) are to be driven through the gypboard and into the perforated portion of the rail assembly. (See Figs. 19 & 20)2 Opening in gypboard should be cut to provide ½” clearance around aperture pan throat. (See Fig. 21)3 Mount gypboard to ceiling structure so that the fixture’s aperture pan throat is centered in the ceiling opening. (See Fig. 21)4 Fasten gypboard to ceiling structure.5 Drive 2 drywall screws (by others) through the gypboard and into perforated portion of each rail assembly. (See Figs. 19 & 21) CAUTION: Driving screws into areas other than the perforated portions of the rail assemblies may cause permanent damage to the fixture and/or undesirable aesthetic effects. NOTE: Use 3 drywall screws (by others) per rail assembly on fixtures with larger apertures.
APERTURE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION1 Insert aperture assembly into aperture pan. (See Fig. 22)2 Butt aperture assembly up to gypboard face.3 Lock in place with 4 screws (provided). (See Figs. 22 & 23)

SPACKLING COMPOUND APPLICATION1 Apply joint tape so half of the tape covers the gypboard and the other half covers the aperture assembly screen. (See Fig. 24)2 Insert plastering plug into aperture assembly. (See Figs. 25)3 Apply spackling compound over aperture assembly flange up to aperture edge and feather it out onto gypboard to present a a smooth blended appearance. (See Fig. 26)4 NOTE: It is MOST IMPORTANT to allow spackling compound to DRY THOROUGHLY.Fig. 23

QUALITY CONTROLEvery effort is made to assure that our products reach the job in perfect condition. We welcome your comments.Kurt Versen Company may change construction periodically without notice as part of its program for product improvement. Every effort is made to insure accuracy in our literature but error or omission could occur.
COMPLETION1 To avoid cracking of plaster, score around the edge of the plastering plug with a utility knife BEFORE pulling it out of the aperture.2 Plug may be cleaned and re-inserted to avoid over-spray into the fixture while painting the ceiling.3 Attach safety chain to trim and insert trim into fixture aperture. (See Fig. 27)
TRIM REMOVAL AFTER INSTALLATION1 Disconnect power to fixture before servicing.2 Allow trim to cool.3 To remove lensed trim from fixture, insert trim removal tool between lens and top edge of trim, then gently pull the trim downward until the trim flange is exposed. (See Fig. 28)4 Grab trim by the flange and continue pulling trim downward until it is completely out of the fixture.
