These manuals tend to contain some fairly general information, some of which I’ll explain here.

Safety Information

In general, you should follow these guidelines when unpacking, installing, or repairing your ceiling fan.

  • You should not throw away the foam inserts that were packaged with the fan. If for some reason the fan needs to be returned to the store, you’ll need these inserts to re-package the product to ensure it doesn’t suffer any damage.
  • Ensure that the area where you install your fan has at least 7 feet of clearance between the fan blades and the floor. Also, make sure to have at least 30 inches of space between the tip of the blades and other objects on or near the ceiling.
  • When installing or repairing the fan, make sure all of the wiring is in compliance with your local codes, ordinances, and the National Electrical Code. Or, better yet, hire a qualified electrician to help with the process.
  • After installation, double check that all connections are secure and the fan won’t wobble (or jar loose) during operation.
  • Avoid hurting yourself by wearing gloves. Watch out, many of these fans can have sharp edges!
  • Don’t ever use the fan with a solid state speed control device and don’t control the speed using a dimmer switch. Doing so could put you at risk of fire or electrical shock.
  • Be careful not to bend the blades during installation (and cleaning, balancing, etc). This can cause the fan to become dangerous during operation.

Harbor Breeze Mayfield Ceiling Fan User Manual Instructions

Preparation

Before getting started with the installation, there are a few things you should do. First of all, you need to make sure all of the parts are present in the box (find out what you’re supposed to have in the “Package Contents” list in the manual). If any parts are missing (or damaged) do not try and put the fan together, instead you should contact the manufacturer to order replacement parts, or to return the fan.

There are a few things you should definitely have on hand to put together and install the fan:

  • Electrical tape
  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Safety glasses
  • Pliers
  • Wire strippers
  • Stepladder

And here are some helpful (but not required) tools to have with you are:

  • AC Tester Light
  • Tape measure
  • Wire cutters
  • A “do-it-yourself” wiring handbook

Putting together and installing a fan usually takes about 2 hours.

Operation Instructions

  1. Most fans have a pull chain, which you can use to control the speed of the fan. It is usually located on the switch housing.
  2. Most fans also have a reverse switch, which should be used to reverse the direction of the blades depending on what season it is. When the weather is warm outside, use the Down position on the reverse switch. This will make the air flow downward. In cooler times of the year, put the switch in the Up position to make air flow upward (which recirculates warm air on the ceiling).

Care/Maintenance

Two times a year you should lower the canopy so you can check the downrod assembly and re-tighten all the screws. Also make sure you clean the motor housing and blades (with a lint-free cloth). Some people even prefer to apply some furniture polish to wooden blades for more protection.

Note: Before you ever do maintenance, shut off the power supply! And don’t ever use water or a damp cloth for cleaning.

Harbor Breeze Fans Installing Instructions & Replacing

Harbor Breeze are a great ceiling fan to have for the indoors as they are very good at moving large volumes of air around your home. Especially crucial for those hot summers! If you are looking for easy installation advice, tips and guides then please keep reading. There are a few different models some of which are depicted below. Make sure you have the right model when installing and also check our manuals page for a downloadable manual of your model.

What Size Ceiling Fan Do You Need?

  • Use a 36-inch diameter ceiling fan if the largest room dimension is 12 feet or less.
  • Use a 42-inch diameter ceiling fan if the largest room dimension is 12 feet to 15 feet.
  • Use a 52-inch diameter ceiling fan if the largest room dimension is 15 feet to 18 feet.

Prepare to Install Your Fan

To ensure that your fan is securely mounted to the ceiling and for your safety during installation, read all of the instructions packed with your fan. Since ceiling fans are usually used to replace existing light fixtures, the wiring to the fan should already be complete. Installation isn’t difficult and only requires that you pay attention to the instructions. If additional wiring must be done to install your fan and you aren’t familiar with wiring, consult a professional electrician. All wiring must conform to local and national codes.

When working with electricity always:

  • Turn OFF electricity at the main fuse box (or circuit box) that controls the power to the fixture or the room you’re working on.
  • Test the wires to ensure the power is OFF.
  • Place the wall switch in the OFF position.
  • All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes. Check with local authorities to see if a permit is required.
  • If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Do not use bulbs with wattage greater than specified for this fixture (if applicable).
Caution

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, don’t use the fan with any solid-state speed-control device or variable speed switch unless it’s specifically designed for use with a ceiling fan. Don’t mount the ceiling fan to a plastic electrical box. Use a securely-fastened metal box.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for safety, warning and caution information.

Options for Mounting Your Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans

Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans blades must be mounted at least 7 feet above the floor. For maximum efficiency, they shouldn’t have any obstruction within 24 inches of the blade tips.

An appropriate junction or outlet box securely attached to the building structure is required. Replace the old box with one labeled as approved for ceiling fans or ceiling-suspended paddle fan installation. The box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan. Use the installation hardware recommended by the junction box manufacturer. Fans over 35 pounds, with or without accessories, require additional support independent of the outlet box.

Secure the new box to a brace between ceiling joists. If there isn’t a 2-by-4 wood brace between the joists but you have access to the framing through the attic, add a brace.

Otherwise, install an expandable metal ceiling-fan hanger bar. These may be positioned either from the attic or from below the ceiling, through the rough opening. Secure the box to the bracket with a U-bolt.

Installing the Mounting Bracket for Your Fan

A properly installed mounting bracket insures a safe and efficient ceiling fan.

Step 1

Remove the fan motor screws. These screws will be used later to secure the blade arms to the motor.

Step 2

Step 3

Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling electrical box with mounting screws and lock washers. If the fan comes with a J-hook, install the mounting bracket with the J-hook toward the floor. The hook will support the weight of the fan motor housing for a hands-free wiring installation.

Step 4

Pull the electrical wires through the center hole of the mounting bracket.

Step 5

At this point, if you have a fan with a three-position mount, you’ll need to decide whether to use a close-mount or downrod installation. (Downrod installations are used for both standard and angled applications.)

Installing a Downrod for Your Fan

A downrod allows the fan to be hung from high ceilings and are available in various lengths to accomodate your home’s architecture.

Step 1

Install the downrod into the mount with the ball end toward the ceiling.

Step 2

Thread the lead wires from the motor (black, white and blue) through both the canopy and downrod. Take extra care not to pull on the electrical wires.

Step 3

Insert the downrod into the collar yoke and rotate until the holes match. Insert the connector pin through the holes, and secure with a cotter pin. Be careful not to damage or cut the fan wires. Bend the two legs of the cotter pin to ensure that the connector pin doesn’t slip out.

Step 4

Affix the hanger and downrod to the motor assembly by tightening the set screw on the side of the downrod. Some fans have two set screws, while others have lock nuts for the set screws.

Step 5

Insert the ball into the hanger bracket. The tab opposite the hanger bracket opening should fit into the slot on the ball. Make the appropriate wire connections.

Step 6

After the connections are made and the wires are carefully tucked into the outlet box, make sure the tab in the bottom of the hanger bracket is seated in the groove of the hanger ball. Slide the canopy up the hanger bracket and permanently attach it with the supplied screws.

Flush Mount Fan Installation

Some fans allow mounting without the use of a downrod. This type of mount places the fan closer to the ceiling.

Step 1

Remove the larger screws and lock washers from the top of the decorative fan motor housing.

Step 2

Secure the canopy to the housing using the same screws.

Step 3

Hang the fan on the J-hook (if applicable) by using one of the holes at the top of the canopy.

Step 4

Make the appropriate wire connections. Determine the hot and common wires by color: black is hot for the fan; blue is hot for the light kit; white is common for the fan and the light kit and green is ground. In all cases, make sure that all exposed wiring is secured inside the wire connectors. Once wiring is complete, gently push the wires into the electrical box.

After the connections are made and the wires are carefully tucked into the outlet box, remove the canopy from the J-hook on the mounting plate.

Step 5

Permanently attach the canopy to the mounting plate with the provided screws.

Attaching Fan Blades

Harbor

Mount each blade bracket to a fan blade using the screws and washers supplied. Start all screws before tightening, then tighten each. Repeat for the remaining blades. Follow the same process to mount each blade/bracket assembly to the fan. Make sure all screws are tightened securely.

Adding a Light Kit to Your Fan

Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan Reviews

If your fan comes with a light kit, it may already be wired and in place, requiring only that you install the bulbs and globes. In some instances, however, you may need to wire the light kit yourself.

Step 1

Remove the switch-housing cover plate from the fan.

Step 2

Remove the plug from the center of the cover plate.

Step 3

Feed the light kit wires (black and white) through the holes in the cover plate, and screw the plate tightly to the light kit to prevent it from vibrating loose.

Step 4

Locate two wires within the switch housing labeled for light (white and blue). Connect them to the light kit wires with wire connectors — white to white and blue to black. Secure the connections with electrical tape to prevent the wire connectors from vibrating loose during operation.

Step 5
