5. The wet niche must be properly electrically
bonded and grounded via the No. 8 AWG ground
connector located at the rear of the niche. See
Figure 1.
To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets
all applicable requirements, the electrician should also
consult the local building department.

Replacing the Light Fixture

NOTE Perform these steps only after the electrical
system requirements are met.
WARNING
Failure to bring the pool's electrical system up to
code requirements before installing the underwater
light will create an electrical hazard which could
result in death or serious injury to pool or spa users,
installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may
also cause damage to property.
NOTE The light fixture may be replaced without
removing water from the pool.
1. Turn off the main electrical switch or circuit
breaker, as well as the switch, which operates the
underwater light.
2. Unscrew the special pilot screw at top of the face
ring and remove the light assembly from the niche,
and place the assembly on the deck.
WARNING
Be sure to keep the special pilot screw provided
with this underwater light. This screw mounts and
electrically grounds the housing securely to the
mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the
screw provided could create an electrical hazard,
which could result in death or serious injury to pool or
spa users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
3. Remove Junction Box cover, disconnect the light
fi xture wires and strain relief, and then pull the
cord out of the conduit from the niche.
4. Feed the new light fi xture cord through the conduit
from the niche to the Junction Box.
NOTE Depending on the length of the conduit, special
tools may be required to pull the cord through
the conduit.
5. Leave at least four (4) feet of cord to coil around
the light fi xture or coiled into the base of the light
niche. See Figure 1. This allows the light to be
serviced after the pool is fi lled with water.
6. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least
six (6) inches of cord to make connections.
7. Strip six (6) inches of the outer cord jacket from
the cord to expose the three insulated wires. Be
careful not to damage the insulation on the three
(3) inner wires.
8. Install the strain relief over the cord jacket and
connect all three wires to the corresponding circuit
wires in the junction box. Install the junction box
cover.
9. Reinstall the light assembly into the niche and
tighten the special pilot screw.
WARNING
Use only the special pilot screw provided with this
underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically
grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring
and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided
could create an electrical hazard, which could result
in death or serious injury to pool or spa users,
installers or others due to electrical shock.
10. Fill the pool until the underwater light is
completely submerged in water before operating
the light for more than 10 seconds. Turn on main
switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch,
which operates the underwater light, to check for
proper operation. Refer to Section 6, Operating
Instructions.
WARNING
Never operate this underwater light for more than
10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water.
Without total submersion, the light assembly will get
extremely hot, which may result in serious burns
or in breakage of the bulb or lens. This may result
in serious injury to pool or spa users, installers, or
bystanders or in damage to property.
