Lift the assembled fan motor (with the downrod and canopy) up to the ceiling. Carefully slip the rubber boot at the top of the downrod into the fan's mounting bracket. This design allows the fan motor to freely rock, providing self-balancing when the fan spins. Now, connect the electrical wires: connect all green wires (from the fan motor and mounting bracket) and the bare copper wire from the house using a wire cap. Connect the white neutral wires (from the fan and the house) using a separate wire cap. Lastly, connect the black and blue wires from the fan to the black 'hot' wire from the house, also with a wire cap. When twisting wire caps, twist them clockwise to ensure a tight connection. Once all connections are made, carefully tuck all the wires up into the ceiling electrical box.
