Epic Ceiling Fans

Read and Save ese Safety Precautions
1. Turn off electricity at main switch before wiring or servicing fan in order to
avoid possible electrical shock.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA70-1999) and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
3. After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with
the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on the
one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side
of the outlet box.
4. e splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully
up into the outlet box.
5. Conductor of a fan identified as grounded conductor to be connected to
grounded conductor of power supply, conductor of a fan identified
as ungrounded conductor to be connected to an ungrounded conductor of
power supply, conductor of fan identified for equipment grounding to be
connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.
6. Fan should not be mounted in an area where it might get wet.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet
box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support" and use mounting screws provide
with the outlet box.
8. For safety and best operating results, we recommend that you have a qualified
electrician assemble and install your fan.
9. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan
with any solid state speed control device.
10. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when
installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan.
Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
Before Assembly
1. Make sure that the fan voltage (120) is compatible with your own electrical
system.
2. Check to make sure that your carton contains all the parts mentioned in the
parts list.
NOTE: e box can be used as a work space to prevent any damage on the
ornamental surface.
CAUTION: Before installing, choose a location for mounting the fan where the
blades have at least 7 feet of clearance from all objects and floor. Mount an
outlet box to the ceiling or use an existing box
CAUTION: Do not mount fan to sheet rock or drywall type materials. To
insure proper support, use the two #1 wood screws to secure mounting bracket
to joist or beam. If the location you choose does not have a suitable support
beam, install a 2”x 4” brace between ceiling joists to support.

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount method, check to make sure the ceiling angle is
not steeper than 35º. Angles greater than 35º will require a 45º angle adapter.
• Check to make sure blades are at least 30” from any obstruction.
• Check Down rod Length to make sure blades are at least 7’ above the floor.
a.) Downrod Mount
(Normal Ceilings)
b.) Angle Mount
(Vaulted Ceilings)
Preparation
Important: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the box is
securely attached to the building structure and can support the full
weight of the fan. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Downrod Assembly
Locate downrod assembly (#2). Loosen ball screw on black hanging ball to
free lock pin. Black hanging ball will slide down. Remove ground screw and
green ground wire. Remove hanging ball from downrod and save all parts.
Insert fan wires through downrod.
Tighten set screw (A) against downrod.
Insert saftey bolt (S7) through flange & downrod
and attach nut. Tighten firmly.
read the downrod onto the motor housing
making sure the wires don’t get twisted.

Place flange cover (4) over downrod
assembly. Place canopy (3) over downrod
(2).
Replace hanging ball, insert hanging pin through downrod and tighten set
screw "C" in hanging ball into downrod.
WARNING: Failure to completely tighten downrod as described in
steps above could result in the fan loosening and possibly falling. Lift fan onto the mounting bracket (#1). Turn housing until hanging ball seats
itself into ball socket (listen for click).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury,
mount so outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support" and use 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.
For added security, attach safety cable from fan unit to "J" hook (S8) in outlet
box. Secure by looping zip tie (S9) through safety cable and "J" hook. Tighten

Trouble Shooting
Problem A: Fan Will not Start
Remedies:
1. Check fuse or circuit breaker and replace if necessary
2. Turn off electrical power and check all wire connectors.
3. Check on/off TCS and wall control selector switch. See operation
instructions.
Problem B: Fan is Excessively Noisy
Remedies:
1. Check that all screws in fan assembly are tight and properly seated.
2. Check to make sure mounting bracket is installed properly.
3. Check to make sure light kit and glass reinstalled properly and tight.
4. If wall control is used, insure the wall control is not a transformer or
a variable speed type.
Problem C: Fan Wobbles
Remedies:
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2. Check that all blade holders are screwed firmly into motor.
3. Check the weight of blades. All our blades are weighed on
electronic scales. e weight is marked on the reverse side of the fan
blade near the motor end. All of the blades should be the same
weight to prevent fan from wobbling.
4. A balancing kit is enclosed if needed.
