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) (Figure 9). Securely connect wires using
wire connectors supplied.
NOTE: When wiring the ceiling fan for close-to-
the-ceiling mounting, there will be no green
grounding lead from the hanger ball.

Wiring The Ceiling Fan
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
grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice,
as it must be grounded for safe operation.
To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires
between the hanger ball/downrod assembly and
hanger bracket.

Electrical Requirements
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
The outlet box must be securely anchored and
capable of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.
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.
WARNING
!
Hanging The Ceiling Fan
(Close-to-the-Ceiling Method with
Ceiling Cover Installed on
the Motor Housing)
1. Carefully lift the fan assembly up to the hanger
bracket. Pass the hook on the hanger bracket
(Figure 7) through one of the screw holes (not the
slots) in the ceiling cover (Figure 8). The hook
must pass from the inside of the ceiling cover to
the outside. The hook will hold the fan assembly
while connecting the wiring.
The hook must pass through the screw hole in the
ceiling cover from the inside to the outside. Any
other hanging method may cause the hook to break
and the fan to fall.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support”, 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.
