GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Make sure that the electric service supply voltage is
AC 120V, 60Hz.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, turn off the
electricity at the main fuse box or circuit panel before
you begin the fan installation or before servicing the
fan or installing accessories.
3. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
4. Make sure all electrical connections comply with local
codes or ordinances as well as the National Electrical
Code. If you are unfamiliar with electric wiring, please
use a qualified and licensed electrician.
5. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan
which allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and
at least seven (7) feet of clearance between the floor
and the fan blade tips.
6. Protect the power cord from sharp edges, oil, grease,
hot surfaces, chemicals or other objects.
7. Do not kink the power cord.
8. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warming device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
9. 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 FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
I NJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be
securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35
pounds. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support of 35 lbs.
2. To reduce the risk of personal injury use only approved
hanging brackets and screws supplied with the outlet box
for mounting to the outlet box.
3. After installation is complete, check that all connections
are absolutely secure.
4. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Do not attempt to control the operation of the fan (or an
optional light kit) from any control that is not approved by
Delta for use with its fans. The use of any unapproved
control voids the fan's warranty.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
1. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning
off circuit breakers.
CAUTION
TO AVOID POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR FAN, DISCONNECT THE POWER
BY TURNING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS TO THE
OUTLET BOX.
2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it is clearly
marked "Suitable for Fan Support". If it is not so
marked, it must be replaced with an approved one.
3.Secure the outlet box (or make sure the existing box
is secured) directly to the building structure. Use
appropriate fasteners and building materials.
4. Fig. 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box in different situations. A longer
down-rod may be required in sloped ceiling situations
to maintain proper blade clearance.
5. To hang the fan in locations where no ceiling joist is
available, a hanger support bar may be required (Fig. 4).
Use approved hanger support bars and outlet boxes.
(Packaging doesn’t include hanger support bars)
6. Before attaching hanger bracket to outlet box, ensure
the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two
points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will
cause the fan to wobble). Remove the two outlet box
screws provided with the box, aligning the holes of the
mounting bracket with the holes of the outlet box.
Reinstall the 2 outlet box screws securely. (Fig. 5)
CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
INSTALL THE PRIMARY MOUNTING MEANS AND USE
ONLY THE HARDWARE PROVIDED WITH THE FAN.
WARNING

HANGING YOUR FAN
1. (Fig. 6) Remove the set pin and safety lock clip from
down-rod. Slide the down-rod through the canopy,
canopy cover, and coupling cover. Partially loosen the
down-rod set screws from coupling at top of motor
assembly. Thread lead wires from motor assembly
through down-rod.
2. (Fig. 7) Install down-rod into motor housing coupling, aligning
the holes and install set pin and safety lock clip. Insert set pin
through coupling and down-rod until point appears on the
other side, and insert safety lock clip on set pin. Pull the
down-rod up tight against the set pin, and then evenly tighten
the down-rod set screws on motor coupling. Place coupling
cover on motor assembly.
Warning: set pin and safety lock clip must be installed
securely, failure to install them will result in serious injury.
3. Lift the fan motor without the blades and place into the
hanger bracket, rotating the ball until the groove
engages the tab on the hanger bracket. This locks the
ball mount and fan motor, preventing fan rotation during
operation. (Fig. 8)
WARNING
Do not attach the blades to the fan until it is
assembled and hanging from the ceiling. Doing so
beforehand will likely bend the blades and could
cause the fan to wobble.

4. After connecting the wires, spread them apart so that
the green and white wires are on one side of the outlet
box and the black wires are on the other side. Turn the
connecting nuts upward and push the wiring into the
outlet box.(Fig. 10)
1. Make sure the wiring is safely inside the outlet box as
instructed in Electrical Connections.
2. To install the ceiling canopy, loosen the 2 screws from
the hanger bracket without fully removing them. Slide
the ceiling canopy up to the hanger bracket through the
large hole side and rotate the ceiling canopy so the 2
screws move into the small opening of the key-slot.

OPERATING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL AND FAN
OPERATING THE FAN - Use your fan during summer and
winter months.
1. In summer, using the reverse switch, adjust the fan's
direction in a counter-clockwise direction, so cool air is
blowing down, producing a cooling breeze. (Fig.17)
2. In winter, reverse the fan to move in a clockwise
direction so that an upward airflow will push warm air off
the ceiling and circulate it downwards into the living area.
(Fig.18)
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Periodically check the tightness of all screws securing the blades to the blade arm attachment points. A clicking or
a rattling noise is a sure indication of loosening screws. Since screws will invariably work loose over time, at least
once a year, tighten all the screws attaching blades to blade arms. Do not bend the blades and blade arms when
cleaning or servicing the fan.
2. If a light kit is attached to the fan, likewise check that all screws attaching glass to metal fitters are finger tight.
Do not use a screwdriver or pliers to tighten glass screws.
3. Never use solvents, thinner or harsh chemicals when cleaning the fan. Use a lint-free cloth with clean water to
clean blades.
4. You will never need to oil or lubricate your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide trouble free, silent
operation for many years.
5. If repairs or servicing are ever required, to avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse
or circuit panel before you begin.
6. Do not allow water to enter the motor.
7. Do not immerse metal parts in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE ACTION
The fan will not start
1. Check that the electricity has been turned on at the circuit breaker which had
probably been turned off during installation.
2. Turn off the electricity. Check all connections in the wiring of the fan at the
ceiling and make sure it follows the wiring instructions outlined in this manual.
The fan is noisy
1. Tighten all screws attaching blades to blade arms. Remember to tighten these
screws at least once a year because they may loosen slowly over time and
cause a clicking noise.
2. Turn off the power. Loosen the canopy and check that the wiring and/or wire nut
connectors are not resting against the canopy, possibly vibrating while the fan is
on.
3. Use of a standard light rheostat or an unapproved fan wall control to control the
fan speed will always cause an annoying "hum". Many fan motors do not work
quietly with solid state variable speed controls.
4. Check that the rubber gasket on the mounting bracket has been installed if
called for in the installation instructions.
5. Check that the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
6. Check that all screws on the motor housing and the bottom housing are tight.
Note: Always allow a day or two "run-in" time for any new fan at medium or high
speed. When attempting to diagnose noise, listen carefully from several
sides to try and isolate the location of the noise (blade, upper end, motor,
light kit, etc.)
The fan turns, but
does not move much
air
1. The fan may be running in reverse.
2. The distance from the ceiling to the blades may be too small. For down-rod
fans, optimal placement would be 8-9 feet from the floor.
3. The room may contain items which obstruct the air flow.
4. The fan may be too small for the size of the room.
The fan wobbles
1. Make certain all blades are tightly attached to each blades' respective blade
arm.
2. Make certain that the hanger ball is locked into the hanger bracket tab by
turning the housing to see if there is any movement.
Note: A small amount of wobble is considered acceptable and should not be
considered a defect.
