doors, and AC/heating vents (strong air currents will cause fan to wobble ) are common obstructions.
Also, you will need a securely mounted outlet box that is listed for fan support.
The only tools you will need are : A medium Phillips screwdriver, scissors or knife, common sense,
Remove all parts from plastic bags, including the screw package.

Insert the threaded pin through the larger hole in the motor housing,
through the downrod and thread it into the opposite side of the motor
housing. Tighten the set screw against the downrod firmly.
Make sure all of the screws are tight. At this time you may want to
shorten the wires from the fan to 6" from the ball. This helps
when you tuck the wires into outlet box.
Take the hanging bracket and secure it to the outlet box (marked Acceptable For Fan Support)
using the mounting screws provided with the outlet box, Fig 4. Tighten them evenly. If you are
mounting the fan directly to the building structure, use the wood screws provided, and secure to a

Note the side of the blade you want to show. Now slide a blade
into one of the slots in the motor housing. The three holes
should line up easily. See Left side of Fig. 8
Now you must decide whether to use the
included halogen light or just the cover.
Using the 3/16"-32x3/8" blade screws, three of
each per blade, secure blade to motor. Repeat
this procedure with the rest of the blades. You will
have at least one screw left over; this is a spare. Be
sure all of the screws are tight. Right side of Fig. 8
Both Glass Dome and Cover Dome have a mounting

HALOGEN
BULB
If you will be using the halogen light, now is the
time to install the bulb. To install the 100W
halogen bulb, use the paper sleeve to install it
into the bracket. Press one end of the bulb into
one of the sockets until other end can be inserted
into other socket. See Fig. 9b. Halogen bulbs
must never be touched with bare skin. The oils
cause the bulb to crack and fail. If the bulb is
touched, clean it off thoroughly with isopropyl
achohol and a cotton swab or lint-free cloth.
Reinstall. Let it dry completely before lighting.
With the motor in place and the wires out of the way, slide the canopy up
to the hanging bracket. The canopy screw in the bracket will come
through the large end of the key slot in the canopy. Fig. 7. Turn the
canopy slightly, counter-clockwise, to hold in place, and insert remaining
canopy screw. Tighten the screws.
