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.
!
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
1. Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger
ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger
bracket to the grounding conductor of supply (this
may be a bare wire or wire with green colored
insulation). Securely connect wires with wire
connectors supplied. (Figure 20.)
