Installation
WARNING: To avoid serious injury or death, turn off the power at the circuit breaker before installing the fan.
Disassemble the Motor
- Take the motor assembly out of the box, use a screwdriver to loosen the canopy screws and remove the mounting plate. Save the screws for later use.
- Remove the light kit directly as light kit is fixed by magnetic attraction. Remove the three light kit screws from the PCB board of the motor assembly. Rotate and remove the light kit pan. Save the removed light kit screws for later use.
Mounting Options
- Install the Mounting Plate
- You have two options for mounting plate installation. Pick which one works best for your location.
- WARNING: Turn off the power from the breaker circuit first!
- Note: For better fan performance, make sure the mounting plate is level.
- Option 1: Fasten the mounting plate with the ST5x24 wood setscrews (included) when securing to the wooden ceiling beam or support structure with an approved electrical outlet box as shown in Fig 2.1.
- Option 2: Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. If the mounting plate is installed at the outlet box, it should be installed on the outlet box with the screws that came with your outlet box itself. Pull the supply wires (the black, white and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate and lay them to the side.
- WARNING: DO NOT use the plastic outlet box. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.
Wiring
-
Hang the Fan
Carefully lift the fan-motor assembly. Hang the motor assembly on the hook of the mounting plate by utilizing one of the holes at the outer rim of the motor housing so that it is securely suspended. -
Connect the Wiring
- The Green/Yellow wire from the mounting plate connects with the supply Ground wire using the wire nut.
- Connect the White wire from the motor to the supply White (Neutral) wire using a wire nut.
- Connect the Black wire from the motor to the supply Black/Red (Hot/Live) wire using a wire nut.
- Then hide them inside the motor housing. (Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colors as shown in Fig 4.1)
- Attach the other end of safety cable to a safe place.
Note: Installing the ceiling fan with a safety cable is an extra safety feature. It secures the fan to the ceiling hook or safe place and avoids the fan from falling even in the case of material failure.
