Harbor Breeze White Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s taken care of, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the room size being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that happen to be reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other areas needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits include any devices. In many cases, the fan, which will have its lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off to begin where the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, shut down its fuse or circuit breaker as well as flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; do not lean or get into a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is required, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eye glasses or goggles step-stool/ladder Phillips screwdrivers pliers electrical tape knife or sissors AC tester light wire cutter/stripper tape measure (optional) electric drill and extra screws for securing the junction box, if needed
Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture from your ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly get rid of the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from your electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections to the fixture are cold (the exam light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail in order to connect the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also look into the firmness in the electrical box in the ceiling. If it’s not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes in the box on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier as opposed to light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends in the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket for the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside in the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from your bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to the centralized holder in the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly really should swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for the motor and a blue or off-color one for the lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end in the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire for the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening whilst the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from your bracket frame) for the electrical box if your box can also be grounded having a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask a specialist relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud for the far ends in the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the perimeters in the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After picking out the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades with their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades for the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed for the motor to maintain them separate from your rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to each other to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly for the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades using the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly isn’t wanted at all. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch the signal from on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set in the future on using the wall switch, whilst the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan features a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
