When installing more than one control in the
same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove
all inner side sections prior to wiring (see
below). If pre-installed, remove the Lutron
wallplate and wallplate adapter from dimmer.
Using pliers, bend side section up and down
until they break off. Repeat for each side section
to be removed. Removal of dimmer side
