Hanging the Fan
If you purchased a fan that has a separate lighting kit, now is the time to
install it. Follow the directions and make sure you make good electrical
connections.
Hanging the fan is fairly easy. The method pictured
here is not the only way that fan kits use to suspend the fan. Indeed, there
are about half a dozen different ways that manufacturers use to suspend the
fan. One of the more common ways is to suspend the fan from a piece of threaded
rod that hangs from a piece of metal that mounts in the box. Either way, mount
the hardware that the fan will hang from and tighten it up and route the
electrical wires through the mounting hardware.
There are two ways to mount the fan: a flush mount or
a hanging mount. If the fan you are hanging has a lighting kit and you are
hanging the fan in a room that has an 8' ceiling then you should probably flush
mount it. Most kits come with hardware for both types of installations but
check on the box before you purchase the kit.
Next you should make the connections between the
wires from the ceiling and the fan.
After you make the necessary connections and before you finalize the
installation you should test the connections to ensure that you have electricity
to the fan. When this is complete, hang the fan from the mounting hardware and
tighten up the screws.
