NOTE: If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed
by a licensed electrician.
Check to see that all connections are tight, including
ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
connectors except for the ground wire. Do not
operate fan until the blades are in place. Noise and

After connections have been made, turn leads
upward and carefully push leads into the outlet
box, with the white and green leads to one side
of the box and the black leads toward the
other side. The wires should be spread apart
with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on one side of
the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor
on the other side of the outlet box. (Figure 13)
