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 below, please use a qualified electrician.
When fan is secured in place on the hanging
bracket, 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 all
GROUND
(
GREEN
) wires together from
fan to
BARE
/
GREEN
wire from ceiling with wire
connector provided.
Since this fan does not come with a light kit, you
will need to cap off the
BLUE
wire with a wire
connector (
as shown with arrow in diagram at right
).
[
Note
: If you elect to purchase a light kit for the fan,
the
BLUE
wire from the fan must be connected to
the
BLACK
wire from the ceiling instead.]
* Wrap each wire connector separately with
electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
This fan is remote control adaptable (remote control
sold separately).
Lift motor assembly to hanging bracket and slide slot at
one end of motor assembly over j-hook on hanging
bracket. This will allow motor assembly 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 of cable with pliers. If the
safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter.
Extra
cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
