Safety Information
NOTE: Suitable for use in DAMP locations.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been
turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code “ANSI/NFPA 70” and local electrical codes. Electrical
installation should be performed by a qualied licensed
electrician.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted
and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lb (15.9 kg)
or less. Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN
SUPPORT.”
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft (2.1 m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the oor.
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items,
be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
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.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should
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 and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the
outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.

The manufacturer warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the
factory for a period of lifetime after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer warrants the light kit (excluding any
glass), to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of three years after the
date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic blades,
to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of one year after the date of
purchase by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or
superior model if the product is returned. To obtain warranty service, you must present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. All
costs of removing and reinstalling the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident, misuse, improper
installation or by afxing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not
cover any changes in brass nish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass nishes of this type give the longest
useful life when protected from varying weather conditions. A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a
defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render the warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. We hereby
disclaim any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent
permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the
express warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to
you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with product use or
performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of product as part of a
claim on the warranty must be paid by the customer.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL Listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box (not included) directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not
included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully
support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not
use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (not included).
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (not included) as
shown above.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of
lighting xtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
Installation
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy (B) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D),
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the
canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting
bracket (A).

WARNING: Failure to properly install the cotter pin (EE) could
result in the fan loosening and possibly falling.
NOTE: If a longer downrod is needed (not included), take out
the screw located in the hanger ball, lower the hanger ball and
remove the pin. Remove all three pieces from the downrod, and
assemble them onto the new longer downrod before proceeding
to the downrod installation.
Route the wires through the coupling cover (E), the canopy
bottom cover (C) and the canopy (B) and then through the
hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).
Align the holes at the bottom of the hanger ball/downrod
assembly (D) with the holes in the collar on top of the fan
motor assembly (F).
Carefully insert the clevis pin (FF) through the holes in the
collar and the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D). Be careful
not to jam the clevis pin (FF) against the wiring inside the
hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).

Carefully lift the fan motor assembly (F) up to the mounting
bracket (A) and seat the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D)
in the mounting bracket (A) socket. Make sure the tab on the
mounting bracket (A) socket is properly seated in the groove
in the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D). This will help to
balance the ceiling fan.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or other
personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting
system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting
screws provided with the outlet box.
WARNING: The tab in the ring must rest in the groove of
the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D). Failure to properly
seat the tab in the groove could cause damage to the wiring.
Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in
the mounting bracket (A).
Attach the mounting bracket (A) on the outlet box by sliding
the mounting bracket (A) over the screws provided with the
outlet box. Note that the at side of the mounting bracket
(A) is toward the outlet box.
Securely tighten the two mounting screws.

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure
electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued)
WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight,
including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts (except for the ground wire).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do
not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge
or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household
wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your fan. Secure the
plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape. Make sure there are
no loose strands or connections.
Make wire connections as follows, using the wire nuts (AA).
From Fan To Receiver
Black Wire ------------------- Black Wire (Hot)
White Wire ------------------- White Wire (Neutral)
Green Wires* ---------------- Green or Bare Wire (Ground)
* There are two green grounding leads: one from the mounting
bracket (A) and one from the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).
Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading them apart
so the green (ground) and white wires will be on one side of
the outlet box and the black wire will be on the other side.
Carefully tuck the connections up into the outlet box.
