turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the two
steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for
mounting to 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

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 one side of the outlet
box.

removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate
fasteners and building materials. The
outlet box and its support must be able
to fully support the moving weight of the
fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic
outlet boxes.
Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of
different ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need
an installation hanger bar.(Fig.3)
(available at any Home Depot store).

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE
INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NO INSERT FOREIGN
OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
CAUTION: Remove 5 rubber packing

NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
Turn on the power and check the operation
of your fan. There are two pull chains
available in your fan:
1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan
speed as follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls-
Medium, 3 pulls- Low, and 4 pulls- Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward airflow creates a cooling
effect.(Fig. 13) This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather-(Clockwise direction) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area.(Fig. 14) This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.
