5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box and
able to support the fan, you are now ready to hang
your fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands. Slide
downrod through opening in hanging bracket and let
hanging ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn the
hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging
bracket tab.
WARNING: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with tab
in hanging bracket may result in serious injury or death.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to help lift the fan up to you
once you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be
necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and
lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable.
The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit
over the threads on the wood screw. Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
6. Wiring.
WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from
breaker panel and be sure switch is turned to the OFF position.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a
ground (GREEN or Bare) wire is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or
Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar
with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different
colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a
qualified electrician.
WARNING: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must
be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal
injury, electrical shock or death.
Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut to the desired
length and then stripped.
When downrod is secured in place on the hanging bracket,
electrical wiring can be
made as follows:
Connect BLACK wire from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling with
wire connector provided.
Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling with
wire connector provided.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan to
BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.
* Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as an
extra safety measure.
