To hang your fan where there is an existing

xture but no ceiling joist, you may need an

installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4

(available at your Hampton Bay retailer).

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT

FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED

ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND

USE THE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED

WITH THE OUTLET BOX. OUTLET BOXES

COMMONLY USED FOR THE SUPPORT OF

LIGHTING FIXTURES MAY NOT BE ACCEPT-

ABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND MAY NEED TO

BE REPLACED. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELEC-

TRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.

Standard Ceiling Mounting

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the

canopy by loosening the four screws on

the top of the canopy. Remove the two

non-slotted screws and loosen the slotted

screws. This will enable you to remove the

mounting bracket.

2. Route the wires exiting the top of the fan

motor through the canopy and then through

the ball/downrod assembly (Figure 6).

3. Loosen, but do not remove, the 2 set

screws on the collar on the top of the mo-

tor housing.

4. Align the holes at the bottom of the down-

rod with holes in the collar on top of the

motor housing (Figure 6). Carefully insert

the bolt through the holes in the collar

Hanging the Fan

REMEMBER to turn off the pow-

er. Follow the steps below to hang your

fan properly.

NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two

types of hanging assemblies; the standard

ceiling installation using the downrod with

ball and socket mounting, and the “close-to-

ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling”

mounting is recommended in rooms with

less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where

additional space is desired from the oor

to the fan blades. When using standard

downrod installation, the distance from the

ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be

approximately 12 inches. The “close-to-ceiling”

installation reduces the distance from the

ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to

approximately 8 inches.

Once you have decided which ceiling

installation you will use, proceed with the

following instructions. Where necessary,

each section of the instructions will note the

different procedures to follow for the two

types of installation.

canopy by loosening the four screws on the

top of the canopy. Remove the two non-

slotted screws and loosen the slotted screws.

This will enable you to remove the hanger

bracket (Figure 5).

2. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cov-

er from the canopy by depressing the three

studs (Figure 7).

3. Remove three of the six screws and lock-

washers (every other one) securing the re-

inforcing plate to the top of the fan motor

housing (Figure 8).

4. Place the rubber gasket over the remaining

three screws, route the wires exiting the top

of the fan motor through the ceiling cano-

py over the collar at the top of the motor

(Figure 9).

5. Align the mounting holes with the holes

in the motor and fasten, using the three

screws and lock-washers removed in step 3

(Figure 9).

Installing Fan to

the Outlet Box

1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the

center hole in the ceiling mounting bracket

as shown in Figure 10.

2. Install the ceiling mounting bracket on the

outlet box by sliding the mounting bracket

over the two screws provided with the outlet

box. When using close-to-ceiling mounting,

it is important that the mounting bracket be

level. If necessary, use leveling washers (not

included) between the mounting bracket and

the outlet box. Note that the at side of the

mounting bracket is toward the outlet box

(Figure 10).

CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD

MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. MAKE

SURE THE MOUNTING BRACKET SLOTS ARE

ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE MOUNT-

ING BRACKET FROM THE TOP DOWN. THE HOOK AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 11 IS ONLY

TO BALANCE FAN WHILE ATTACHING WIRING.

FAILURE TO HANG AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 11

MAY RESULT IN HOOK BREAKING, CAUSING

THE FAN TO FALL. HOOK MUST PASS FROM

INSIDE TO OUTSIDE OF CANOPY

LOCKING SLOTS OF CEILING CANOPY ARE

PROVIDED ONLY AS AN AID TO MOUNTING.

DO NOT LEAVE FAN ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED

UNTIL ALL FOUR CANOPY SCREWS ARE EN-

GAGED AND FIRMLY TIGHTENED.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT

FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED AC-

CEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE THE

MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE

OUTLET BOX.

3. Securely tighten the two mounting screws.

4. Carefully lift the assembly up to the ceiling

mounting bracket and hang the fan on the

hook provided by utilizing one of the holes

at the outer rim of the ceiling canopy (Fig-

ure 11). If using standard mounting, seat the

hanger ball in the mounting bracket socket.

Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket

socket is properly seated in the groove in the

hanger ball (Figure 11).

WHEN USING THE STANDARD BALL/DOWN-

ROD MOUNTING, THE TAB IN THE RING AT THE

BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET MUST

REST IN THE GROOVE OF THE HANGER BALL.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAT THE TAB IN THE

GROOVE COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRING.

Making the Electrical

Connections

REMEMBER to disconnect the power. If

you feel you do not have enough electrical

wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan

installed by a licensed electrician.

Follow the steps below to connect the fan

to your household wiring. Use the wire

connecting nuts supplied with your fan. Se-

cure the connectors with electrical tape.

Make sure there are no loose strands or

connections.

1. Connect the ground conductor of the 120v

supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire

with green colored insulation) to the green

ground lead(s) of the fan (Figure 12). When

using standard ceiling mounting, there are

two green grounding leads; one from the

ceiling mounting bracket and one from

the ball/downrod assembly. When using

“Close-to-Ceiling” mounting, there is only

one green ground lead from the ceiling

mounting bracket since the ball/downrod

assembly is not used.
