Cumming Ceiling Fan Installation

Turn Off Power

• Switch off power to the fan from the circuit breaker to ensure safety. Use a voltage tester to confirm no electricity is flowing to the fan.

Remove the Old Fan

• Climb the ladder and detach the fan blades first to make the motor easier to access.
• Unscrew the canopy cover at the ceiling to expose the wiring.
• Disconnect the wires and carefully lower the motor.

Remove the Old Mounting Bracket (if needed)

• If the new fan comes with its own bracket, unscrew and remove the old one from the electrical box.

Install the New Mounting Bracket

• Attach the new mounting bracket to the electrical box, ensuring it’s securely fastened to support the fan’s weight.

Connect the Wiring

• Match the wires from the ceiling (typically black, white, and green/bare copper) to the corresponding wires on the new fan.
• Use wire connectors to secure the connections (e.g., black to black, white to white, and green to the grounding wire).

Attach the Fan Motor to the Bracket

• Lift the fan motor and secure it to the mounting bracket. Some fans come with a hook to hold the motor temporarily while wiring is completed.

Install the Fan Blades

• Attach the fan blades using the provided screws. Be sure to tighten them evenly to prevent wobbling.

Add the Canopy Cover and Light Fixture (if applicable)

• Secure the canopy cover over the mounting bracket. If the fan has a light kit, follow the instructions to install it.

Test the Fan

• Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the fan and light functions to ensure everything works properly.

Balance the Blades (if needed)
