Swag Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly beside a flat horizontal fairly low ceiling where it really 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, according to the room size being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the instruments and possible the rest needed for installing them, their self-assemble kits include anything else. In many cases, the fan, that can have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity have to be off to begin where the fan will be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, power down 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 through the installation; don’t lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eyeglasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is necessary, 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, if needed
Installation steps (reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture through the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly remove the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws through the electrical junction box within the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, ensure that the wire connections to this fixture are cold (test light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these phones the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the property is old, only two wires might exist, a black one as well as a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness in the electrical box within the ceiling. If it really is not solidly connected 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 compared to light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends in the tailing wires within the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket towards the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside in the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly through the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to 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 for that motor as well as a blue or off-color one for that lights to be attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end in the black ceiling wire within the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire towards 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 such nuts to their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire through the bracket frame) towards the electrical box if your box is also grounded using a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about this green wire connection. Some will say to get forced out be, i.e., relax with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud towards the far ends in the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges in the motor along with the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades to their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades towards the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed towards the motor to hold them separate through the rest in the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level in this step, install the blades individually opposite together to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly towards the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades using 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 your lighting assembly just 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 in the future on using the wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled with the pull-chain switch only, initially set within the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that enables the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
