4-2. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place
a wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight. For
all these connections use the wire connectors provided.
4-3. Connect the bare or green ground wire (grounded) from the
ceiling to the green ground wire (grounded) from the ceiling plate
and the green ground wire from the fan.

ATTACHING THE SWITCH HOUSING GASKET
AND UPPER SWITCH HOUSING
7-1. Locate the switch housing mounting plate, the switch housing gasket and
the upper plug connector.
NOTE: Your fan may come with the switch housing gasket attached to the
switch housing mounting plate.
If the switch housing gasket is attached to the switch housing mounting
plate,gotothesection"AttachingtheUpperSwitchHousing."
If the switch housing gasket is not attached complete the steps below.
7-2. Identify the top side of the switch housing gasket by looking for the raised
circular ridge on the gasket.
7-3. With the top side of the switch housing gasket facing up towards the mo-
tor, align the holes in the gasket with the spokes on the switch housing
mounting plate.
7-4. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the upper
switch housing gasket. Push the gasket up so that it is seated flush with

into live connection area and/or the switch housing and light fixture
falling.
ATTACHING THE LOWER SWITCH HOUSING/LIGHT
ASSEMBLY
7-9. Locate the housing screws.
NOTE: Depending upon your fan model, the housing screws will be either
installed in the four spokes from the switch housing mounting plate, or
located in the sack parts.
7-10. Partially install the housing screws into the spokes from the switch housing
mounting plate.
NOTE: if the housing screws came installed, make sure that they are
partially installed in order to complete the following steps.
7-11. Connect the upper plug connector to the lower plug connector from the
lower switch housing assembly.
NOTE: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only fit together
one way. Make sure that both connectors are properly aligned before
connecting them together. Incorrect connection could cause improper
operation and damage to the product.
