6. INSTALLATION OF 

SAFETY SUPPORT

An additional safety support is provided to 
prevent the fan from falling.  Secure the 
safety cable to the ceiling joist with screw and 
washer, as illustrated in Figure 9. 

7. MAKE THE ELECTRIC 

CONNECTIONS

Remember 

 to disconnect the power.

Follow the steps below to connect the fan to 
your household wiring. Use the wire 
connecting nuts supplied with your fan.  
Secure the connectors with electrical tape.  
Make sure there are no loose strands or 
connections.

Step 1.

 Connect the fan supply (black) wire and 

light supply (blue) wire to the black household 
supply wire as shown in Figure 10.

Step 2. 

Connect the neutral fan (white) wire 

to the white neutral household wire.

Step 3.

 Connect the fan ground wire (green) 

to the household ground wire.

Step 4. 

After connecting the wires, spread 

them apart so that the green and white wires 
are on one side of the outlet box and the 
black and the blue wires are on the other 
side.

Step 5.

 Turn the connecting nuts upward and 

push the wiring into the outlet box. 

Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the wiring 
connections for optional wall control (The 
wire color out of wall control may vary, see 
wall control's installation manual for correct 
wire connections.)
