2. Carefully lift the fan and seat the hanger ball/
downrod assembly on the hanger bracket that was
just attached to the outlet box (Figure 11). Be sure
the tab on the hanger bracket is seated in the
groove on the hanger ball (Figure 10).
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
connectors 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, separate
the white and green leads from the black and blue
leads. Carefully turn the leads upward and push
the green and white leads into one side of the
outlet box. Then push the black and blue leads into
the other side of the outlet box.
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to
electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.

How to Hang
Your Ceiling Fan
CEILING
FLOOR
AT LEAST
7'
Figure 9
The fan must be hung with at least 7' of clearance
from floor to blades (Figure 9).
WARNING
!
Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If
the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until
bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are
not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
WARNING
!
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet
box using the two screws supplied with the outlet
box. (Figure 10.)
The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted
and capable of supporting at least 50 lbs. Use only a
U.L. outlet box listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support
of 50 lbs. or less”.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable
for Fan Support of 50 lbs. or less”, and use screws
supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for support of light fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING
!
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
