Reinstalling and Connecting Electrical Devices
When Removing and Reinstalling Electrical Devices be sure to:

• Identify and Turn Off the electrical Circuit.
• Mark the circuit to let inform others.
• Observe and write down the wiring connections.
• Identify the colors of wires with permanent markers or electrical tape.
• When painting or doing other work, do not leave bare wires, always place wire connectors over the ends of the wires.
• Reinstall the electrical switches, outlets, light fixtres or ceiling fans securely as they were originally found.
• Be careful not to pinch any wires and make good wiring connections.
• Consult the owners manual or installation manual for specific devices for detailed information.
