GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

02 |hinkley.com

To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.

To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned oﬀ at the main power box before wiring. All electrical connections

must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the

methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualiﬁed and licensed electrician as well as

someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or other personal injury, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system

marked acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet

boxes commonly used for the support of lighting ﬁxtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.

Consult a qualiﬁed electrician if in doubt.

Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be at least

7 feet from ﬂoor.

Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready

to be installed to protect its ﬁnish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets, as

each blade is part of a weighted set.

After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The

wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the

"HOT" wires on the other side.

Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed

per the light kit's installation instructions.

After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and/or causing

damage or injury.

The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under

normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.

To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

TOOLS & MATERIALS REQUIRED

WARNINGS:

• PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER

• FLAT SCREWDRIVER

• WRENCH OR PLIERS

• WIRE CUTTER

• STEPLADDER

• WIRING SUPPLIES AS REQUIRED BY

ELECTRICAL CODE

• Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning oﬀ circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional lighting.

• Support directly from building structure.

• To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support" and use mounting

screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting ﬁxtures are not acceptable for fan

support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualiﬁed electrician if in doubt.

• Do not use an incandescent light dimmer. Do not use this fan with any transformer type fan speed control device.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan.

Do not insert any object(s) between rotating fan blades.
