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 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. Test safety cable by
pulling on loose end with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the
loop must be adjusted tighter. 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 wire (GREEN or Bare) 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 below, please use a
qualified electrician.
Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut to
the desired length and then stripped.
When fan is secured in place on the hanging bracket,
electrical wiring can be made as follows:
Connect BLACK and BLUE wires from fan to BLACK
wire from ceiling. Connect WHITE wire from fan to
WHITE wire from ceiling. Connect all GROUND
(GREEN) wires together from fan to BARE/GREEN wire
from ceiling.
Use wire connectors provided when
making connections.
If you intend to control the fan light with a separate
light switch connect BLUE wire from fan to the BLACK
(or RED) supply from the independent switch.
* Wrap each wire connector separately with
electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
