  and a HIGH-LOW-OFF Switch.  

2.  Using your first 2 wire Romex, tape the white common wire because we are going to use it for  

  low speed. Attach the white wire to the top gold screw on the right of the switch. Then, attach  

  the black wire to the bottom gold screw. (see Figure C)  

3.  With a piece of bare copper wire, attach it to the green ground screw on the switch.  

4.  Using the second 2 wire romex that’s going to your timer, use one of the supplied wire nuts to  

  tie the black wire to the black wire on the timer. Tie the white wire from the 2 wire Romex to the  

  white wire on the timer. 

5.  Using a wire nut, tie all bare copper wires together with the green ground wire on the timer.

6.  Attach the red leg wire from the timer to the top gold screw on the left of the switch. Finish up  

  the installation of the timer and switch and switch cover plate.

 

7.  Begin wiring the your fan by opening up the handy box. Take off the wire nuts within the handy 

  box. Detach the green ground wire from the power cord. Remove the power cord. Re-attach the 

  ground screw and wire to the handy box. Cut your green ground wire in half and strip both    

  sides. (see Figure D)
