SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at
the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by
a qualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the two steel
screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for mounting to
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.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable
of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet
boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
Do not operate reversing switch while fan blades are in motion. Fan must be
turned off and blades stopped before reversing blade direction.
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED
“ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth
or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
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
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet
box.
Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must
be Listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches
must be General Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits
and switches for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN THE
PATH OF THE BLADES.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use
appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and
its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the
fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the
outlet box.
NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)
ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum
clearance of 12" is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for
installation, you may need to purchase and install a "Joist Hanger"
for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you
purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

HANGING THE FAN
REMEMBER to turn off the power. 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” installation. The “close-to-ceiling” installation is recommended
in rooms with less than 8-feet ceilings or in areas where additional space is
desired from the floor to the fan blades.

HANGING THE FAN
Standard Ceiling Installation
Step 1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the ceiling hanger
bracket as shown in Fig. 5.
Step 2. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling outlet box with the screws and
washers provided with your outlet box.
Step 3. Remove the hitch pin, lock pin and set screws from the top of the motor assembly.
Step 4. Route wires exiting from the top of the fan motor through the coupling
cover, canopy and then through the ball/downrod (Fig. 6)
Step 5. Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod with the holes in the collar on top
of the motor housing (Fig. 6). Carefully insert the hitch pin through the holes in the collar
and downrod. Be careful not to jam the pin against the wiring inside the downrod.
Insert the locking pin through the hole near the end of the hitch pin until it snaps into
its locked position, as noted in the circle inset of Fig. 6.
Step 6. Tighten two set screws on top of the fan motor firmly (Fig. 6).
Step 7. Place downrod ball into the hanger bracket socket (Fig 7).
Rotate the entire assembly until the "Check Tab" has dropped into the "Registration Slot"
and seats firmly. (Fig. 7)
The entire motor assembly should not rotate (left or right) when seated properly.
WARNING: Failure to reattach the cross pin and seat the "Check Tab" can cause the fan to
fall from the ceiling during operation. Take special care to make sure this pin is reattached.

HANGING THE FAN
Close-To-Ceiling Installation
Step 1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole
in the ceiling hanger bracket as shown in Fig. 5.
Step 2. Remove the decorative canopy cover from the canopy
by turning canopy cover counterclockwise (Fig. 8A).
Step 3. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling outlet box
with the screws and washers provided with your outlet box.
Step 4. Remove three of the six screws and lock washers
(every other one) from the collar of top motor (Fig. 8B)
Step 5. Place the ceiling canopy and the gasket over the collar
at the top of the motor. Align the mounting holes with the holes
in the motor and fasten using the screws and lock washers
provided (Fig. 8B).
Step 6. Tighten the mounting screws securely (Fig. 8B).
WARNING: Failure to completely tighten the three screws in
step 4 could result in fan loosening and possibly falling.
Step 7. Hang the fan on the hook of the hanger bracket.
Be certain that the canopy is fully locked into hook as
shown in Fig. 9. This will allow you to make the electrical
connections.
INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(Required for Canadian installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from faIling.
Please install it as follows:
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and washers to the ceiling joist next to
the mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 10)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and washers by
pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall length is correct.
Put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end
of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Put the loop in the end of the
safety cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw
securely.
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations
only, it’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.
