How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan - Pull Chain
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).
3.
After splicing and making the wire connections, the
wires should be spread apart and turned upward 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.
4.
Secure the ceiling canopy to the hanger bracket with
threaded rods, external lockwashers, and knurled knobs
provided (see below).

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 fan damage
could result.
Installing the Canopy Housing

The threaded rods in the hanger bracket serves as
guides for easier installation.

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