Preparing the Wiring:
CAUTION: All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI / NFPA 70. If
you are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified electrician.
1.
Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
2.
Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line extends at least 6” beyond the box as show in
Figure 8.
3.
Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector, available at any hardware store or electrical supply
house. Refer to Figure 8.
4.
Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI / NFPA 70.

You have now successfully prepared your ceiling fan site. For instruction on how to install your ceiling fan, continue with the
Installing the Ceiling Plate
section.
1.
Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the outermost holes on the outlet box. The pilot holes should be
9/64” in diameter.
2.
Thread the lead wires from the outlet box through the hole in the middle of the ceiling plate.
Figure 9 – Ceiling Plate
3.
Align the slotted holes (refer to Figure 9) in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes in the wood support structure. Note: The
insulation pads should be flush against the ceiling. For angled ceilings: Be sure to orient the ceiling plate so that the arrows
on the ceiling plate are pointing towards the ceiling peak.
