84 Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it’s off the beaten track, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the room size being fitted, which enable it to cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which can be reversible. Except for the instruments and possible the rest essential for installing them, their self-assemble kits include anything else. In many cases, the fan, that will have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity should be off at the site the location where the fan is to be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, turn off its fuse or circuit breaker in addition to flipping its wall change to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder throughout the installation; tend not to lean or get into 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, as appropriate
Installation steps (reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly take away the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box within the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (the exam light will remain off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these phones the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the residence is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also look at the firmness of the electrical box within the ceiling. If it’s not solidly coupled to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes within the box for them. The ceiling fan is heavier than the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires within the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket on the box while using two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger into the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly is supposed to swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for the motor along with a blue or off-color one for the lights being attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end of the black ceiling wire within the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire on the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts to their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) on the electrical box if the box can also be grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if the electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert about it green wire connection. Some will say to get forced out 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 of the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges of the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After picking out the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades to their end brackets while using screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to maintain them separate in the rest of the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite to one another to start with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades via the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders within the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if the lighting assembly isn’t wanted unconditionally. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall change to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set into the future on while using wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled through the pull-chain switch only, initially set within the off position. Note: The ceiling fan includes a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
