Installation Instructions

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver (Phillips and/or Flathead, depending on fan model)
• Pliers (optional, for stubborn connections)
• Work gloves
• Safety glasses

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Disconnect Power: Before beginning, ensure the power to the ventilation fan is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker. Verify with a non-contact voltage tester if available.
2. Remove Fan Cover: Carefully pull down or unclip the fan grille/cover from the ceiling. Some models may have screws holding it in place.
3. Remove Old Motor Assembly:
   • Locate the existing motor and fan blade assembly.
   • Disconnect the electrical plug from the motor.
   • Unscrew any mounting screws or release clips holding the motor assembly in place.
   • Carefully remove the old motor and fan blade.
4. Transfer Fan Blade: If your new motor does not come with a fan blade, you will need to transfer the old fan blade to the new motor shaft. This usually involves a retaining clip or screw. Ensure the blade is securely fastened.
