If you feel that you are not capable of installing the fan because of not having enough experience, then ask for a licensed electrician.
A word of caution before you start: Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before starting.
For the installation of the ceiling fan you will be needing the following tools:
- Ceiling Outlet Box – This box should be acceptable for fan support
- Philip screwdriver
- Step Ladder
- Wire Stripper
- Electrical tape
Down-rod Installation
- Prepare the canopy assembly by unscrewing the two non-slotted mounting bracket screws. Loosen the remaining two slotted screws, the hanger bracket can now be removed.
- Now, prepare the motor coupling by removing the clevis pin and cutter pin, loosen the two-colour set screws.
On the hanger ball gallon drive assembly loosen the set screw and lower the ball off the down rod. Remove the cross pin and the ground lead. - Next, assemble the fan by feeding the motors wires through the down rod and inserting it into the motors collar. Align the holes on the down rod with the holes on the collar then insert the clevis pin and cotter pin. Tighten the two collars set screw.

- Bring the fan unit up to the ceiling and slide the hanger ball into the hanger bracket to hold it up. The tab in the mounting bracket needs to be aligned with the groove in the hanger ball.
Connecting the Electrical Wiring
- Merge the ground wires coming from the ceiling fan box down rod and the hanger bracket together. Then, carefully connect the white-coloured wire from the motor to the neutral wire from the box.
- Finally, connect the black fan wire and the blue light wire from the motor together with the hot wire from the box. Usually, there are two hot wires in the box that controls the fan and the light separately, attach the black wire that controls the fan into one hot wire and attach the blue wire that controls the light into the other hot wire.
- Wrap electrical tape around the connections to hold the wire in place. Then, push the wires neatly into the box. Assemble the canopy by sliding it up to the ceiling and twisting it into place over the two screws on the hanger bracket. Insert the removed screws and tighten all four securely. The fan is now secure and properly mounted and the rest of the fan body is ready to be installed. For the next process refer to attaching fan blades and installing the light kit below.
