Hunter Caicos 52 In Indooroutdoor New Bronze Wet Rated Ceiling Fan with dimensions 1000 X 1000Hunter Outdoor Ceiling Fans – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it is 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 size of room being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the tools and possible other parts required for installing them, their self-assemble kits include the rest. In many cases, the fan, that may have its very own lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity must be off to begin the place that the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, shut down its fuse or circuit breaker in addition to flipping its wall exchange signal of the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder in the installation; tend not to lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eyeglasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring should be used, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eyeglasses 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 further 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 get rid of 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 (quality light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail for connecting the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also check the firmness in the electrical box in the ceiling. If it is not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes in the box for the children. The ceiling fan is heavier compared 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 to the box while using 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 the centralized holder in the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should really swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one to the motor along with a blue or off-color one to the lights to get attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of these two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end in the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire exactly the same.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening even though the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of these nuts with their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) to the electrical box in the event the box can also be grounded which has a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the electrical box in not grounded, ask a professional relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., do nothing by using it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends in the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the perimeters in the motor and also the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (four to six) and mount them. After seeking the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades with their end brackets while using screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor while using bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to hold them separate in the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level in this step, install the blades one by one opposite to each other to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just under 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 in the event the lighting assembly isn’t wanted for any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall exchange signal of on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set to come on while using wall switch, even though the fan itself is controlled by the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch which allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
