Installing a patio ceiling fan

Items needed: bracket system, electrical box, heavy duty bar, mounting bracket

• Use a heavy-duty bracket system to be installed up through the existing hole to the inside of the ceiling.
• The heavy-duty bar should be positioned directly over the hole. And you will be working from below.
• Attached a bracket up and over the bar, again working from the bottom.
• After putting the lock nuts onto the installed bracket you mustinstall the new electrical box. It should slipped right up from the below, through the existing hole and attached to the long bolts of the bracket piece.
• The final step is to attach the fan mounting bracket to the new electrical box. This is the bracket that the fan is finally hung from. After the bracket system and electrical box is completely installed, turn your attention to the fan itself.

Items needed: fan motor, top bracket cover, metal extension pipe and connector, rubber boot

• The fan motor may require some assembly before it can be hung from the bracket. But once hung you should lower the fan down from the ceiling about twelve inches to provide better air circulation.
• If necessary, run wires through the extension piece and then attached it to the fan motor and secured it with a cotter pin. This will allow it to be secure and also to have the necessary space to push down the air.
• Because this fan is installed outdoors, you will need to keep moisture from leaking into the motor. You should install a rubber boot to act as a moisture barrier.
• Add the top bracket cover. It will conceal the bracket and wires. Nice touch.
• Finally, to the end of the pipe attach a connector; this will allow the fan assembly to hang from the bracket. This connector is held in place with a little set screw and you can slip the ball into the bracket to hang the fan assembly in place.

• Each fan is wired a little bit differently, but the general rule is to connect all wires of the same color together.
• Cut wires to the necessary length and then stripped off the end of the insulation. Then twist the two wires together and cover them with a wire nut.
• Once all of the wires are connected and covered, they are tucked back up into the box slid the canopy up into place and tightened with screws.

• The last step s to attach the fan blades to the motor assembly. Each fan blade is attached to the bottom of the motor assembly and held in place by screws.
