Assemble A Harbor Breeze Fan

Assemble a Harbor Breeze celing fan.


Harbor Breeze ceiling fans are made and sold exclusively at Lowe's home improvement stores. They come in varying sizes, finishes and styles and are reasonably priced. Ceiling fans help to conserve energy throughout the seasons since they can blow cool air in the summer and circulate warm air in the winter.


Instructions


1. Attach your blades to the blade brackets. For downrod fans, simply slip the canopy over the downrod before attaching the downrod to the fan. For a close mount or a fan that doesn't hug, you should attach the canopy directly to the motor. If there is a light fitter among your fan parts, you can wait to attach it once the fan is on the ceiling.


2. Take the mounting bracket and attach it to the fan brace. In lieu of the fan brace, you may need to attach it to the ceiling outlet box.


3. Use the mounting bracket to hang the motor assembly. Look for a small hook or a ball on the end of the downrod. Ensure the ball line's groove matches up with the bracket or canopy tab.


4. Connect the wires. Make sure that you turn off the power at the main breaker before you do the wire connection. You should never connect the wires if the power is still on.


5. Take the canopy and attach it to the mounting bracket. Some fans will call for two thumbscrews while others may require four. Finishing the assembly of a hugger fan will include attaching the motor to the mounting bracket with varying numbers of locknuts. After you have attached the motor, place the motor housing cover next to the mounting bracket.


6. Attach the blades to the motor with the blade bracket. Two screws will fit directly to the motor.


7. Attach the light kit to the glass, as well as any other decorative pieces that were included in the package.
