How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
1. Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger
ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger
bracket to the grounding conductor of supply (this
may be a bare wire or wire with green colored
insulation). Securely connect wires with wire con-
nectors supplied. (Figure 12.)
NOTE: If you are using an Emerson Light Fixture
with your fan, see Light Fixture Owner’s Manual
for wiring.
2. Securely connect the fan motor white wire to the
supply white (neutral) wire using wire connector
supplied (Figure 12). Securely connect the fan
motor black wire and blue wire to the supply black
(hot) wire using wire connector supplied (Figure
12). After connections have been made, turn leads
upward and carefully push leads into the outlet
box, with the white and green leads on one side of
the outlet box and the black and blue leads on the
other side of the outlet box.
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is ground-
ed, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it
must be grounded for safe operation.

3. Screw the two threaded studs (supplied) into the
tapped holes in the hanger bracket.
4. Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and
turn until studs protrude through the holes in the
ceiling cover (Figure 13).
5. Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding lock-
washers over the threaded studs and installing the
two knurled knobs (supplied). (Figure 13.) Tighten
the knurled knobs securely until the ceiling cover
fits snugly against the ceiling and the hole in the
ceiling cover is clear of the downrod. Your fan is
now wired to be turned on and off from the fan
switch.
6. Cut the 3-speed switch pull chain to a desired
length (optional). Connect the wood pendant (sup-
plied) to the 3-speed switch pull chain by sliding
the wooden pendant (small hole first) onto the pull
chain. Attach the chain coupling to the end of the
chain and allow the wooden pendant to fall down
over the coupling.
