Install the Wiring on Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans
Harbor Breeze ceiling fans feature very secure color-coded wires that are easy to manipulate. The fans also come with detailed instructions for installation that include wiring and hardware steps. Fans come with an integrated grounding wire to ensure that the fan meets current electrical codes. Additional wires are included in case the fan is to be connected to an optional light kit assembly, which is usually sold separately.
Instructions
1. Disconnect the main power at the circuit junction box and then check the individual ceiling wires with a circuit tester to be sure that there is no power flowing.
2. Strip one-half inch of insulation from each of the three electrical wires connected to the fan. This will make it easier to wrap them around the thick copper ceiling wires and wrap with the wire nuts.
3. Attach the grounding wire from the house wiring and connect it to the green of the Harbor Breeze fan mounting bracket. Use a wire nut and wrap the wire with electrical tape to secure it safely. Connect the neutral white wire from the main line to the white wire of the fan. Use a wire nut and wrap it with electrical tape.
4. Connect the black hot ceiling wire to both the black and blue fan wires. Make sure that the three wires are all securely connected inside a properly sized wire nut and wrapped with sufficient electrical tape to cover any bare wire and eliminate the risk of electric shock.
5. Adjust the wires within the fan housing before completing installation of the unit. Separate the wires by placing the green grounding wire and white neutral wires on one side of the fan housing and the blue and black wires on the other. This separation will help add additional security from accidental wire crossing.
6. Turn the power on to the fan line at the main circuit box. Test the fan to ensure it works properly.
