hello and welcome to the shotgun right today's video as part of my everything home mainly all home improvements or upgrades that you can do to your house and you can't do a lot of it yourself just take a little bit of time do a little bit of research and definitely step out of your comfort zone and I've said before you never know what you can accomplish me just surprise yourself so this is a brand new install of a hunter ceiling fan this is a hunter designer series Crandon Park ceiling fan 52 inch remote control and it has an LED light model number five nine one eight eight so let's get the thing in pack and see what all is included I'm always I'm happy check pack lists make sure there is nothing missing so we don't have to worry about it and have that whole moment in the middle of the installation let's see what we have here owner's guide table of contents installation guide looks like remote control receiver look like wire nuts screws installation hardware there's your 2 inch downrod and a couple more wire nuts and we have a LED light bulb looks like yep LED light bulb there's our base plate frame and there's the light and there's Toph well okay I see it this has two bulbs in it there's only one so that's good I got two LED folks the other one is right there we'll take this out there's the other bulb sweet don't cut light cover glass not plastic hunter is a good quality ceiling fan anyway I have no doubts quality is their base now you bracket blades oh that's one heavy motor right there that's nice they're tilted and there's only three plays kind of give an industrial look to the like a matte black finish now the instructions starts out you have your table of contents tells you everything is going every step of the way it will give you what to expect with your installation mounting elliptical measurement you need you mean these funny help because it's kind of heavy holding it next one is tools needed you're definitely going to need a ladder pliers wire strippers Phillips flathead screwdriver with the option of a drill and a 1964 drill bit you got your mounting options either flat or vaulted in my case I have a semi voltage not roll steep but is a vaulted ceiling okay step one we're going to mount our ceiling bracket now you have a couple of options the wood screws which I believe are these or you have machine screws these are the machine screws they go into my box up here these are all my wires I've already got this up ready to go quick little side note you see up here these little bumpers make sure all for the buffers on here that's what rides on the ceiling here cushions it so there's no vibration the opening here doesn't matter which way it goes if you have a level feeling if you have a vaulted ceiling this opening is to mount it uphill it's going up like this so the downrod go then fit in there no chance of the downrod or the fan somehow pop it out because it's kept at an angle if the opening was down it wouldn't take much for that maybe earthquake or something and pop right out and fall down hurt somebody make sure this is facing uphill when you mount this ceiling bracket to your ceiling if it is vaulted flat ceiling really doesn't matter which way it goes now before we came up in the cradle or as they call it the ceiling bracket the housing here you got the hole in each side that mounts to the ceiling bracket now you see it's got a triangular shaped cutting it will only fit in one way so if you fit it up there it's both to mimic that part so if it doesn't fit and aligns and the holes don't line up to the bracket take it down move it 180 and fit it in and it should work so let's just get these wires through here now let's hang this up real quick with the ceiling bracket mounted as I stated the opening you want facing uphill so when you slide your drop right it's going to hang in there without having a chance of going out going down here there you go first thing we're going to do we want to start doing the wiring so we're going to connect all the ground wire first the wires coming out of the ceiling our bare copper wire for the fan and then wire for the ceiling bracket are green with yellow stripe so let's mount all the ground together get your supplied wire net and connect them all together just take your time get them all lined up sometimes a little difficult now I personally will always tug on just a little bit to make sure they're secure that way I know there's nothing loose and I'm going to come out art art do something damage later so this is a slight tub just to make sure they're connected and you're good on the ground we can shove a by the way we don't need that no more now let's get the remote installed the directions will tell you where they show it comes this way on a vaulted ceiling you're going to have the opening facing uphill I this actually fits better in the opening in better desgas on the other side so I am going to set it in this way it actually sets in better so I'm going to set this here we can start wiring it up now your fan comes with a very long wire they painting on if you want a longer down mod or not do not cut these till you get the correct down rod that you want for your application so I'm cutting these about 12 inches right now there we go now we got all three all of our brown wires already done stuck up in there so the next step is a third wiring receiver yellow wire phone receiver goes to the black wire from the fan and that's the one strip that off now and I'll connect these yellow phone your receiver black from the fan connect next step is to go blue to blue Blues on the receiver blue from the fan next step all the white from the receiver to the white of the fan into your white wires out of the ceiling let's get all those together and again strip this wire about connect all these again I took I'm just make sure the secure good to go I get the soft wired up on this culprit real quick just so you know exactly what you're doing your ground wires it saw the lights of the see ground wires copper wire coming out of the ceiling to the yellow to the green wire with the yellow stripe on your ceiling bracket and from the ceiling fan all your grounds are connected together from the receiver you want a blue wire going to the blue wire coming out of the fan yellow water from your receiver going to the black wire coming out of the fan on the other side you have the black and white black wire to the black wire come out of the ceiling white wire coming to the white wire out of the ceiling with a wiring complete now we're going to position the canopy up over the drop rod now the screws if you look on here directions it will say insert to canopy screws found in the has got a solid circle hardware bag every bag has a symbol on it triangle like an equal solid open circle another solid triangle solid square solid square so for this we want saw the circle which is these two these are your two canopy screws so let's go about that there's a head-on one way because of me triangle shape the bottom of the pad if you go 180 it's not going to fit turn back and tilt it's on there now we can mount it now we're going to connect the fan blades to the fan housing we're going to use the square washers which are here with the triangular bag hardware which are these so we're going to secure each blade with 1/4 screw these are holding it in this secures it it's going to be three of these three of these set them on that's a snug fit that's good I like that now put all three screws and washers in let's see if you have some is magnetized that keeps it even the washer keeps it right there it makes it so handy now take this one and you have to have outrage that you want to secure it in with this lock screw this secures it in like an element Allen wrench tighten it up that's it so I'm going to get going and do the rest of these two there you have it all three blades drawn and you have three screws and then you have the locking line what the blade is also cured next thing we're going to do is put the housing assembly on now those you want to bag with the three equals on and I'm going to tell you right now there are six screws in here three about maybe half inch three that are maybe 3/8 three half inch you'll use first two three three eighths or quarter-inch screws you'll use on the second part don't matter there's three holes here doesn't matter which ones you put in to put two screws in about halfway so you're using the longer ones these are I think these are half-inch screws put them back here now take these through here now put three screws in here same thing to put in first so you're going to pay first set it twist it to lock it on tie them up then you put the third one on halo where's that there's only one way this plugs on see the little tab right here between the L and a it's for this little latch here so now if the screws up in there is connected by those tubes slotted screw holes and twist now title up right here is the switch to reverse the motor so if your mothers who have gone one way in the summer one way in a winner you're going to have to take the light housing or the dome other glass down in my hair is your switch to turn it on reverse forward whichever way you want to go now certain oddity bulbs on the glass exceed or not there's a little notch right here there's little tabs inside up there this slowly just goes in and twist you have little tabs here here and here okay last thing to do we're going to check make sure it works lay on there it goes really have success now what's remote shut it off a medium okay I've set off when I hit the remote once kicks it on I had medium now I did hi wasn't that hard very simple directions are very well
