Installing the MAXIM LIGHTING 88805 Tanker Cylinder Fan on a standard ceiling involves several steps. First, prepare for the installation by gathering necessary tools and ensuring the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. 1. Ceiling Bracket Installation: Begin by passing the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole of the ceiling hanger bracket. Secure the bracket to your ceiling outlet box using the provided screws and washers. Make sure the bracket is firmly attached to support the fan's weight. 2. Fan Assembly and Wiring: Route the wires from the fan motor through the canopy and then through the ball/downrod. Align the holes at the base of the downrod with the holes in the collar atop the motor housing. Insert the hitch pin through these holes and secure it with the locking pin. Tighten the set screws on the fan motor. Next, position the downrod ball into the hanger bracket socket to facilitate electrical connections. 3. Electrical Connections: Connect the fan's black supply wire to the black household supply wire. Connect the fan's white neutral wire to the white household supply wire. Connect the fan's green ground wire to the household ground wire. Use wire nuts to secure these connections, and consider wrapping them with electrical tape for added safety. Ensure the wires are neatly organized and properly color-coded. 4. Canopy Attachment: Slide the canopy up to the ceiling and fasten it to the hanger bracket using the screws provided. Make certain all wires are safely tucked into the outlet box. 5. Wall Control Installation (if applicable): If your model includes a wall control, disconnect the power and remove the existing wall plate and switch. Connect the wires from the wall-mounted control to the AC power supply and the ceiling fan motor according to the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the control unit in the switch box and attach the faceplate. 6. Final Steps and Operation: Once the fan is installed and all connections are verified, restore power at the circuit breaker. Test the fan's operation, including speed control using the pull chain and direction control via the slide switch. Always consult the MAXIM LIGHTING 88805 Tanker Cylinder Fan's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
