Installation of
Light Adapter Plate
IMPORTANT
Perform the procedures in this Section ONLY if you intent to install your ceiling fan without using the light fixture supplied with the fan, or if you are going to use a different Emerson light fixture with your fan.
NOTE: In order to use the light adapter plate (supplied), the wiring harness included as part of the light fixture assembly must be removed and be reinstalled in the light adapter plate. This Section contains the procedures to accomplish this.
1.Disconnect the light fixture connector from the wiring harness connector (Figure 17). Unscrew the knurled nuts from the light switch and the speed control switch. (The knurled nuts are not interchangeable; keep them with their respective switch.) Gently pry the capacitor (secured by

Secure the switches using the appropriate knurled nuts. Pass the speed control switch chain through the chain bushing. If desired, tape the other switch chain to the adapter plate as shown (tape not supplied).

6.Remove one protective covering from the two- sided foam tape (supplied) and apply the foam tape to the capacitor. Remove the remaining protective covering and then firmly press the capacitor onto the adapter plate (Figure 20).
7.Position the reversing switch in the slot in the adapter plate and secure using two screws (Figure 19).
IMPORTANT
The next three steps (step 8, 9 and 10) are to be performed ONLY if you are installing an optional Emerson light fixture. If you are installing your fan without a light fixture, proceed to step 11.
8.Remove the screw plug (Figure 20) from the bottom of the light adapter plate and install your optional Emerson light fixture in accordance with the light fixture Owner’s Manual.
