How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan

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 supply grounding conductor (this may be a bare wire 
or wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect 
wires with wire connectors supplied.

2.

 Securely connect the white fan motor wire to the white 

supply (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied. 

 

Securely connect the black fan motor wire and blue wire 
to the black supply wire using wire connector supplied 
(Figure 1). 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.

3.

 Proceed to the next step of “Installing the Canopy 

Housing“.

WARNING

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is 

turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.

NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, 

contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be 

grounded for safe operation.

WARNING

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 motor 

damage could result.

NOTE:

 

 This step is applicable 

after

 the necessary wiring 

is completed. 

WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that the 

electrical wires are completely inside the canopy housing 

and not pinched between the housing and the ceiling.

1.

 Screw in two threaded rods into the Hanger Bracket 

(Figure 1).

NOTE:

 

 The threaded rods in the hanger bracket serves as 

guides for easier installation.

2.

 Securely attach the Canopy Housing to the Hanger 

Bracket using the external lockwashers and knurled knobs 
supplied with your fan (Figure 1).
