How to Install a Ceiling Fan on a High Ceiling · Step 6 of 11
In this video
Lift the entire fan assembly (with the downrod and canopy) up to the ceiling mounting bracket. Carefully rotate the fan assembly so that the ball at the top of the downrod engages with the ridge in the mounting bracket. This will securely hang the fan while you make the electrical connections. Follow the wiring diagram provided in your fan's instruction manual. Typically, this involves connecting the fan's green ground wire to the house's ground wire (usually green or bare copper), the fan's white wire to the house's white (neutral) wire, and the fan's black wire (or blue for light kits) to the house's black (hot) wire. Secure these connections using the provided twist-lock wire nuts. Once connections are made, carefully push all wires into the junction box, ensuring wire nuts are pointing upwards, before proceeding to install the canopy.
