STEP 1 - GETTING READY

PREPARING THE FAN SITE

Reliable operation, efficiency, and

maximum energy savings depend

upon proper placement and attach-

ment of the fan. For this reason, we

have included a separate booklet —

“Guide to Choosing and Preparing

a Ceiling Fan Site” — to help you

select the best location for your fan.

The booklet also provides informa-

tion to ensure your fan support and

electricoutletboxmeetUL-approved

safety codes for ceiling fans.

The instructions in this installation

manual assume that you have used

the “Guide to Choosing and Prepar-

ing a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick the

fan location and make certain the

proper fan support and outlet box

are installed.

CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS

Carefully unpack your fan parts to

avoid damage. Check for shipping

damage. If one of the fan blades is

damaged, return all blades for re-

placement.

Hint: Ifinstallingmorethan one fan,

keep the fan blades in sets, as

shipped.

the 3 round holes in the ceiling

plate as shown in Figure 2b.

Thread the lead wires from the

outlet box through the opening

in the middle of the ceiling plate.

3. Align two opposing oval slots in

the ceiling plate with the pilot

holes in the wood support struc-

ture. See Figure 2b.

ANGLE MOUNTING

For Angle Mounting be sure to orient

the Ceiling Plate so that the arrows

marked on the plate are pointing to-

wards the ceiling peak. See Figure 2b.
