Hunter Cedar Key 44 In Indooroutdoor Matte Black Ceiling Fan With regarding size 1000 X 100044 Outdoor Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside an appartment horizontal fairly low ceiling where it really is taken care of, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, depending on the size of the room being fitted, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the equipment and possible other areas essential for installing them, their self-assemble kits include anything else. In many cases, the fan, that will have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off to begin the place that the fan shall be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall change to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; don’t lean or enter a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring should be used, 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 further screws for securing the junction box, if necessary
Installation steps (after reading 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 inside the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections to this particular fixture are cold (test light will remain off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect them to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the property is old, only two wires might exist, a black one and a white one. Tip: also look at the firmness of the electrical box inside the ceiling. If it really is not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which can require drilling two holes inside 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 inside 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 of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from your 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 should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for that motor and a blue or off-color one for that lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of these two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end of the black ceiling wire inside the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire much the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of these nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from your bracket frame) to the electrical box if your box can also be grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert relating to this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing at all by using it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends of the mounting bracket while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides of the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After deciding on the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades for 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 from your rest of the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level with this step, install the blades one-by-one opposite together in the first place. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just beneath the fan blades through quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders inside the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is just not 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 from the pull-chain switch only, initially set inside the off position. Note: The ceiling fan includes a reversible motor switch that enables the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
