What they say

helper to hold it up. I wired the motor, put in the set screws at the top so the motor is secured to the bracket. There was four set screws on this fan. Then I put the housing on. Typically, a lot of fans come with a housing or a collar for the purpose of hiding any mechanical components. Last step, I install the new fan blades and boom, she's finished and looking pretty.
