B.Bring electrical cable into the outlet box and attach with an approved connector. Make certain that wiring meets all national and local electrical codes. Wire leads should extend at least 6" beyond outlet box for ease in mak- ing connections. See Figure 3.

Step 4: Installation of Ceiling Plate
A.Install the four (4) rubber bushings into the top of the ceiling plate by inserting the small side of the bushing into the four holes in the ceiling plate. See Figures 4 and 5.
B.Thread the lead wires through the opening in the top of the ceiling plate and through the opening in the side of the hanger bracket. See Figure 6.
Using the two center slots, attach the ceiling plate to the 2 x 4 brace supporting the outlet box. Use (2) #10 woodscrews 3" long for mounting through the outer- most holes. Drill two pilot holes 9/64" diameter in the 2 x 4 brace for mounting screws. See Figure 6.
NOTE: When attaching the ceiling plate to the outlet box support, make certain that bushings remain in place.
NOTE: Tighten the ceiling plate mounting screws only enought to provide slight compression of the bushings. Do not overtighten.

Step 5: Hanging of Motor
Caution: Do not lift motor by wires.
A.Lift the motor and insert the plastic hanger into the open- ing in the front of the hanger bracket. See Figure 7. Make sure none of the wires are trapped between the plastic hanger and the inside of the hanger bracket.
B.Rotate the motor and plastic hanger assembly until the lower half of the plastic hanger fits into the square open- ing in the bottom of the metal bracket. Check the as- sembly by trying to rotate the motor and plastic hanger assembly. When properly installed the upper part of the plastic hanger will sit flat inside the hanger and the assembly will not rotate. See Figure 8.
Caution: Make sure plastic hanger cannot rotate in metal bracket. Failure to check this could result in the motor falling.
NOTE: The green ground wire attached to the plastic hanger should face the opening in the front of the metal hanger bracket.
