Wiring - Craftmade Fortitude Guide D'installation

5. Fan Assembly. (cont.)
With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box
and able to support the fan, you are now ready to
hang your fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands.
Slide downrod through opening in hanging bracket
and let hanging ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn
the hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging
bracket tab.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once
you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will
be necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer
and lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable
loop. If necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the
safety cable. The loop at the end of the safety cable
should just fit over the threads on the wood screw.
Test safety cable by pulling on loose end with pliers. If the
safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter. Extra
cable slack can be left in ceiling area.

6. Wiring.

WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from
breaker panel and be sure switch is turned to the OFF
position.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a
ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or
Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are
unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires
are different colors than those referred to below, please use a
qualified electrician.
Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut to the
desired length and then stripped.
When downrod is secured in place on the hanging bracket,
electrical wiring can be made as follows:
Connect BLACK wire from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling
with wire connector provided.
Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling
with wire connector provided.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan to
BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire connector
provided.
Since this fan does not come with a light kit, you will need to
cap off the BLUE wire with a wire connector (as shown with
arrow in diagram). [Note: If you elect to purchase a light kit
for the fan, the BLUE wire from the fan must be connected to
the BLACK wire from the ceiling instead.]
* Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as
an extra safety measure.
