SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
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.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, mount the fan base to a ceiling joist or structural member using
the hardware provided with your fan.
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, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the fan to rotate and at least
seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan.
WARNING: The stud, wood post or beam on which the fan will be installed must be securely mounted and capable
of supporting at least 50 pounds (22,68 kilograms). The stud or wood beam must be supported directly by the
building structure.
WARNING: Support Fan Directly from Building Structure.To avoid personal injury, damage to fan and possible
electrical shock and/or fire, do NOT install fan directly to SheetrockTM (drywall); fan must first be secured to
appropriate size stud or wood beam underneath.
WARNING: If using this fan in a WET or DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death.
4. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
5. 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. 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.
6. 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.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are
necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from
breaker panel and be sure operating light
switch is turned to the OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply
prior to installation may result in serious injury.
[Fan Assembly continued on following page.]
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the fan a
clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor to
prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver,
adjustable pliers or wrench and stepladder.
This fan can only be mounted on an indoor wall
or on an enclosed porch or enclosed patio
wall.
CAUTION: If you are going to attach the fan to
a wood stud or wood post, the stud or wood
post must be wide enough and thick enough
to sustain the wall bracket and the weight of
the fan.

(2.13m)
First determine the approximate position of
where you want the fan to be located on the
wall. [Remember that the fan must be mounted
at least 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor.] Then,
locate the stud in the wall.
You must use all 4 mounting holes (2 at the top
and 2 at the bottom) in wall bracket when
installing wall bracket. Position wall bracket on
wood stud or wood post and mark 4 hole
locations.
Drill 4 pilot holes over holes marked into wood
stud or wood post. Position wall bracket over
pilot holes and install a flat washer, lock washer
and wood screw (provided in one of hardware
packs) into each hole.
ALTERNATE CONCRETE WALL INSTALLATION:
Use all 4 mounting 1/4" (6.5mm) holes when
installing wall bracket on a concrete wall.The 3/16"
(5mm) concrete wall anchors necessary for this
type of installation are not provided and must be
purchased separately.Make sure that concrete
wall anchors can support a total of 80 lbs.
WARNING: It is very important that you use the
proper hardware when installing the wall
bracket as this will support the fan.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold
the stepladder in place and to help lift the fan
up to you once you are set on the ladder.
With the wall bracket secured to the wall and
able to support the fan, you are now ready to
hang the fan. Grab the fan firmly with two
hands. Slide the fan bracket bar, located on the
back of the fan bracket, over wall bracket
hooks and then pull down firmly on fan
bracket.
Note: Make sure the fan bracket bar and the
wall bracket hooks have engaged completely
and fan is stable.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with
Local Codes or Ordinances and the National
Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with
electrical wiring please use a qualified electrician.

WARNING: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan
must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected
by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the
risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death.
Insert power cord securely into proper wall outlet.
WARNING: The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching
receptacle. Under no circumstances must the grounding
prong be cut off the plug.Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.This work must be
done only by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only.
The three-prong plug is installed with a fuse that is a vital
safety device.A filament inside the fuse is designed to
melt and cut the circuit if the current gets too high.This
prevents damage to your fan and the person using it and
stops the power cord from overheating to the point
where it could catch fire.
If you should need to replace the fuse, unplug fan. Locate
the fuse cover at end of the plug on the power cord. Slide
fuse cover open to expose fuse. Using needle-nose pliers,
remove fuse. Inspect fuse--the small, glass tube with
metal on each end--to determine whether it will need to
be replaced. [If the fuse is blown, it will look dark and
smudged or the visible wire inside will be broken.] Use a
replacement fuse with a rating of 5 amps, 125 volts only
and insert fuse in between the metal brackets inside the
fuse housing. Slide the fuse cover completely back on.

After you have assembled the fan assembly to
the wall bracket, partially insert 2 Allen screws,
provided in one of hardware packs, into 2 Allen
screw holes located in the front of wall bracket.
Tighten the Allen screws with the Allen wrench
provided in one of the hardware packs.
There are 2 large adjustable screws--one is
located under motor and the other one is
located up against the front of the fan
bracket--use pliers to position the fan at the
desired angle. Do not overtighten Allen screws.

7.Testing Your Fan.
page 6
It is recommended that you test the fan before
finalizing installation. Restore power from
circuit box and light switch (if applicable).Test
fan speeds with wall control. Start at the "Off"
position (no blade movement). One turn of dial
on fan will set fan to HIGH ("H").Two turns will
set fan to MEDIUM ("M").Three turns will set
fan to LOW ("L"). If fan does not function
properly, please refer to "Troubleshooting"
section to solve any issues before contacting
Customer Service.
Troubleshooting.
Problem: Fan fails to operate.
Solutions:
1. Check power to wall switch.
2.Verify that dial on fan is set on High ("H"),
Medium ("M"), or Low ("L") speed.
3. Check to be sure that the 3-prong plug is
plugged in properly and into the correct outlet.
4. Check to be sure the fuse located in the 3-
prong plug is still good. [Note: Check to be
sure which appliance blew the fuse before
replacing fuse.]
5. Check GFCI outlet and check to see if it
needs to be re-set.
Problem: Fan wobbles.
Solutions:
1. Check that wall bracket is secure.
2. Check to be sure that fan is securely
mounted on fan bracket bar.
