5. Preparation for Wiring.
With wider opening facing up, place housing ring
over top of motor housing. Then, push housing ring
down past top edge of motor housing.
Lift motor housing to mounting plate and then hang
motor housing on j-hook on underside of mounting
plate. (Use one of the non-slotted holes on the rim of
the motor housing to do so.) This will allow motor
housing to hang out of the way while wiring.
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 smaller. 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 grounded properly
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 below, please use a qualified electrician.
Once fan has been temporarily hung on the
mounting plate, 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 GROUND (GREEN) wire from mounting
plate to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire
connector provided.
* Wrap each wire connector separately with
electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
Connect male molex plug from mounting plate to
female molex plug in top of motor housing. Be sure
that molex connections snap together completely.
