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)

7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical

shock, be sure you have turned off the power

at the main circuit panel. Follow the steps

below to connect the fan to your household

wiring. Use the wire connecting nuts suppled

with your fan. Secure the connectors with

electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose

wire strands or connections.

NOTE: The Hand Held Control System is

equipped with 16 possible frequency

combinations to prevent interference from or

with other remote control units. The frequency

switches on your receiver and transmitter have

been preset at the factory. Please recheck to

make sure the switches on transmitter and

receiver are set to the same position, any

combination of settings will operate the fan as

long as the transmitter and receiver are set to

the same position. (Fig. 12)

Step 1. Insert the receiver into the ceiling

mounting bracket with the ﬂat side of the

receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 13) For best

performance, make sure the Black Antenna,

on the end of the receiver, remains extended

and not tangled with any of the electrical

wires.

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical

Connections: (Fig. 14) Connect the black wire

from the fan to the black wire marked "TO

MOTOR L" on the receiver.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian installation ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help

prevent the ceiling fan from falling, 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. 11)

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. Now, 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.
