WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.

2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.

3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.

4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” and use the 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.

6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.

7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]

8. Do not operate the reverse switch until fan has come to a complete stop.

9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

10. 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

WARNING: This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable provided may result in personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.

Carefully open the packaging. Remove items from Styrofoam inserts. Remove motor housing and place on carpet or Styrofoam to avoid damage to finish. Do not discard fan carton or Styrofoam inserts should this fan need to be returned for repairs. Check against parts inventory that all parts have been included.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and 30 in (76cm) from any wall or obstruction. This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square feet (37.2 square meters).

This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The hanging length can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter). Other installation, such as flushmount, is not available for this fan. A vaulted ceiling angle should not exceed 25 degrees.

Installation requires these tools:

Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape.

1. Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure the operating light switch is turned to the OFF position.

WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury.

2. Remove the existing fixture.

WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure the outlet box is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support.” If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is grounded properly and that a ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present.

3. Install the hanging bracket to the outlet box using the original screws, spring washers, and flat washers provided with the new or original outlet box. If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face the opening of the hanging bracket towards the high point of the ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and away from the bracket opening.

Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.

Downrod Assembly:

1. Remove the hanging ball from the downrod by loosening the set screw on the hanging ball. Lower the hanging ball, remove the stop pin, and then slide the hanging ball off of the downrod.

2. Loosen the yoke set screws and nuts at the top of the motor housing. Remove the pin and clip from the motor housing yoke.

3. Thread the safety cable and electrical wires through the threaded end of the downrod and pull extra wire slack from the upper end.

4. Thread the downrod into the motor housing yoke until the holes for the pin and clip in the downrod align with the holes in the yoke. Make sure wires do not get twisted. Re-insert the pin and clip that were previously removed. Securely tighten the yoke set screws and nuts.

5. Slide the yoke cover, canopy cover, and canopy over the downrod. The canopy cover must be turned with the shiny side toward the motor housing.

6. Thread the safety cable and wires through the hanging ball and then slide the hanging ball over the downrod. The top of the downrod has a set screw hole; use this hole when setting the set screw. Insert the stop pin into the top of the downrod and raise the hanging ball. Ensure the stop pin aligns with the slots on the inside of the hanging ball. Tighten the set screw securely.

WARNING: Failure to tighten the set screw (on the hanging ball) completely could result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling.

Hanging the Fan:

1. With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box, grab the fan firmly with two hands. Slide the downrod through the opening in the hanging bracket and let the hanging ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn the hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging bracket tab.

WARNING: Failure to align the slot in the hanging ball with the tab in the hanging bracket may result in serious injury or death.

2. Find a secure attachment point (a wood ceiling joist is highly recommended) and secure the safety cable. It will be necessary to use a heavy-duty wood screw, washer, and lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. Adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable if necessary. The loop should just fit over the threads on the wood screw. Test the safety cable by pulling on the loose end with pliers. If the cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in the ceiling area.

WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure the switch is turned to the OFF position.

CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.
