If you are going to control your fan using
two wall switches, you will need a three-
wire (with ground) conductor cable
between the ceiling and wall outlet boxes.
This will allow you to operate the option-
al Tommy Bahama Light Fixture (if
installed) from one switch and the ceiling
fan from a separate switch. Refer to
Figure 12 and proceed as follows:
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 oper-
ate fan until blades are in place. Noise
and fan damage could result.
!
WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To
avoid possible electrical shock, be sure
electricity is turned off at the main fuse or
circuit breaker box before wiring. All
wiring must be in accordance with
National and Local codes and the ceiling
fan must be properly grounded as a pre-
caution against possible electrical shock.

WARNING
How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough elec-
trical wiring knowledge or experience, have
your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
1.
If you are going to use a Tommy Bahama
Remote Control/Receiver or Wall
Control/ Receiver to operate your ceiling
fan, wire your fan in accordance with the
Control/ Receiver Owner’s Manual. After
wiring, return to step 4.
a.
Connect the green grounding lead
from the hanger ball and the green
grounding lead from the hanger
bracket to the supply grounding con-
ductor (this may be a bare wire or
wire with green colored insulation).
Securely connect wires with a wire
connector (supplied).
b.
Securely connect the fan motor white
wire to the supply white (neutral) wire
using a wire connector (supplied).
c.
Securely connect the fan motor black
wire to the supply black (hot) wire
using a wire connector (supplied).
d.
Securely connect the fan motor blue
wire to the supply red (hot) wire using
a wire connector (supplied).
e.
After connections have been made,
separate the white and green wires
from the black, blue and red wires.
f.
Carefully turn the wires upward and
insert them up through the open side
of the hanger bracket and into the
outlet box. Push the green and white
wires into one side of the outlet box;
push the black, blue and red wires
into the other side of the outlet box.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock, disconnect the electrical sup-
ply circuit before installing the fan and
optional light kit and/or remote control
receiver.
