solid-state speed controls.

4. 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.

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 and 2 are examples of different

ways to mount the outlet box.

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. 3)

mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 6)

Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to

reach the screw and washer 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.

Now, put the loop in the end of the safety

cable over the wood screw and under the

washer. Tighten the wood screw securely.

switch housing.

NOTE: These connectors are color coded and

will ONLY engage when the colored strips are

matched (aligned).

light kit then attach the light kit to the

mounting plate with the screws provided. Be

sure each screw is securely tightened.

13. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn on the power and check the operation of

your fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed

as follows:

1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan

speed as follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls-

Medium,

3 pulls- Low, and 4 pulls- Off.

Speed settings for warm or cool weather

depend on factors such as the room size,

ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.

2. The Light Kit pull chain turns the light kit

On or Off.

3. The last pull chain reverses the direction of

the fan blades. Counter clockwise for

downward air movement (Summer) and

Clockwise for upward air movement (Winter).

Warm weather - (Counter Clockwise) A

downward airﬂow creates a cooling effect

as shown in Fig. 16. This allows you to set

your air conditioner on a warmer setting

without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - (Clockwise) An upward airﬂow

moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown

in Fig.17. This allows you to set your heating

unit on a cooler setting without affecting your

comfort.
