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 groove in the ball is lined up with tab on the
hanger bracket (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 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 reduce the risk of fire, electric 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 in in doubt.
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”.
