INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.Attach the hanger bracket to the electrical box capable of reliably supporting at least 50 pounds. Insert the screws through the slotted holes in the bracket and attach to the electrical box. Tighten both screws to the electrical box. (Figure 1)

4.Slide lower canopy down the pipe until it covers the wiring. Tighten screw to hold in place.

5.Slide upper canopy on over the pipe and allow it to temporarily rest on top of lower canopy.

6.Insert motor leads

through the hanger

ball and slide the ball midway down the

pipe. Insert the spring

pin through the top holes of the pipe. Align

the grooves in the ball

with the pin and pull up to fully seat the ball.

Tighten screw in side

of hanger ball. If ground wire is not

attached, insert screw through ring at end of

green ground wire and tighten to top of hanger ball. (Figure 4)

7.Hang the upper canopy on hook attached to hanger bracket. Make sure the electrical box is properly secured. If Romex cable (plastic sheathed) was used to wire the electrical box, the presence of a third wire connected to the electrical box indicates that the box is grounded. This ground wire may be a bare wire (no insulating jacket), or a green insulated wire. The two supply wires will be white and black insulated wires.

8.If the wiring to the electrical box is enclosed in electrical conduit pipe, the ground wire may not be present. The conduit itself could serve as the ground.

GROUNDING:

9.Romex (plastic sheathed) Cable: If romex cable was used to wire the electric box, connect the green ground wire attached to the hanger ball and the green ground wire in the Romex cable using a 72B listed wire nut.

9a. Conduit Pipe: If the wiring to the electrical box is enclosed in electrical conduit pipe, connect the ground wire to the ground screw in the electrical box.

10.Electrical Supply: Connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (Neutral) wire using a listed wire nut. Connect the fan motor black wire and the supply black (hot) wire using a listed wire nut.

NOTE: Check to see that all connections are tight, including the ground and that no bare wire is visible at the wire nuts, except for the ground wire.

11.Insert one of the phillips head screws in one of the side holes of the mounting bracket, being careful not to fully tighten. Leave a minimum of 1/8" distance between the screw head and mounting bracket. Locate the hole opposite the first screw and repeat this procedure. (Figure 6)

12.Raise the canopy up to the mounting bracket. Apply light pressure upward on the canopy while rotating it to the right. Rotate the canopy until the two screws from step #11 drop into the side hook slots in the canopy. Continue rotating until the canopy is fully locked and stops rotating.

13.Insert the last two screws through the remaining side holes of the canopy into the mounting bracket. Tighten all four screws.
