Hampton Bay San Lorenzo 52 In Indoor Rustic Ceiling Fan With Light intended for sizing 1000 X 1000Rustic Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s off the beaten track, and from which it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, depending on the room size being fitted, and will cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other regions needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits feature everything else. In many cases, the fan, that will have its lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off to begin the location where the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, shut down its fuse or circuit breaker together with flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder in the installation; usually do not lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye-glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is needed, 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 additional screws for securing the junction box, if required
Installation steps (reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (the test light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail for connecting the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the property is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness in the electrical box in the ceiling. If it’s not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, that might require drilling two holes in the box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier compared to the permanent 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 on the box with the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside in the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger in to the centralized holder in the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for the motor plus a blue or off-color one for the lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together with the stripped end in the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together with the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire on the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to keep these connections from loosening even though the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts on their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) on the electrical box in the event the box is also grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about it green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., relax from it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud on the far ends in the mounting bracket with the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges in the motor and also the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 5) and mount them. After deciding on the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades on their end brackets with the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor with the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to keep them separate in the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to keep the motor from becoming too off-level during this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to each other first of all. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on the small round central housing unit just underneath the fan blades through 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 in the event the lighting assembly just isn’t wanted for any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set ahead on with the wall switch, even though 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 enables the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
