Making the electrical
connections
If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your
household wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your
fan. Secure the plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape.
Make sure there are no loose strands or connections.
□
Connect the ground conductor (SS) of the 120V
supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire with green
colored insulation) to the green ground lead(s) (WW)
of the fan. When using standard ceiling mounting,
there are two green grounding leads: one from the
mounting bracket (A) and one from the hanger
ball/downrod assembly (E). When using
“close-to-ceiling” mounting, there is only one green
ground lead (WW) from the mounting bracket (A)
since the hanger ball/downrod assembly (E) is not
used.
□
Connect the fan motor white wire (VV) to the supply
white (neutral) wire (RR) using a plastic wire nut (AA).
□
Connect the fan motor black wire (UU) and the blue
wire (TT) to the supply black (hot) wire (QQ) using a
plastic wire nut (AA).
□
Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading
them apart so the green (ground) (WW) will be on one
side of the outlet box (NN) and the white (VV), black
(UU) and blue wire (TT) will be on the other side, and
push carefully up into the outlet box (NN).
WARNING:
Check to see that all connections are tight,
including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts (except for the ground wire).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure
electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
