Harbor Breeze Mayfield 44 In Brushed Nickel Indoor Flush Mount intended for sizing 900 X 900Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly alongside a designated horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be dealt with, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, according to the size of the room being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the instruments and possible other parts necessary for installing them, their self-assemble kits have everything else. In many cases, the fan, that can have its lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity have to be off at the site the place that the fan will 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 throughout the installation; do not lean or enter a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eyeglasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is needed, 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 additional screws for securing the junction box, if required
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 in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure that the wire connections to this fixture are cold (quality light will continue to be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also look into the firmness from the electrical box in the ceiling. If it can be not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes in the box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier than the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends from the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside from the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to the centralized holder from 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 your motor plus a blue or off-color one for your lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of the two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end from the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire exactly the same.
Then, to keep these connections from loosening while the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of the nuts on their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) to the electrical box when the box can also be grounded having a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, when the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced concerning this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing at all from it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends from the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the sides from the motor as well as the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades on their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to keep them separate in the rest from the kit hardware.
Tip: to keep 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 to the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades through 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 when the lighting assembly just isn’t wanted unconditionally. 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 in the future on using the wall switch, while the fan itself is controlled by the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch which allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
