original purchaser. The retailer also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or
plexiglass blades, to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment

fitness 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 specified 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

1. Safety Rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been 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.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not 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 doubt.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY,
MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only
UL Listed outlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from
the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion.
The fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing
the blades direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed
with the fan must be UL Listed and marked suitable for use with the
model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL General Use
Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits and
switches for proper assembly.
13. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this
with any solid-state speed control device.

Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing UL listed mounting
box, then read the following instructions.
Disconnect the power by 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

To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4
(available at your Hampton Bay Retailer).
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly. NOTE:
This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of
hanging assemblies; the standard ceiling
installation using the downrod with ball and
socket mounting and the "flushmount"
installation. The "flushmount" installation is
recommended in rooms with less than 8-foot
ceilings or in areas where additional space is
desired from the floor to the fan blades. When
using the standard 4 1/2" downrod, the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the
fan blades will be approximately 12 1/2
inches. The "flushmount" installation reduce
this distance to 8-inches. Once you have
selected which mounting system you will use,
proceed with the following instructions. Where
necessary, each section of the instructions will
note the different procedures to follow for the
two types of mounting.
STANDARD CEILING INSTALLATION
1. Remove the canopy ring from the canopy.
(Fig. 5)
2. Remove the hanger bracket from the
canopy by loosening the four screws on the
top of the canopy. Remove the two non-
slotted screws and loosen the slotted
screws. This will enable you to remove the
hanger bracket. (Fig. 5)
3. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the
center hole in the ceiling hanger bracket as
shown in Fig. 6.
4. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling
outlet box using screws and lock washers
included with your outlet box. (Fig. 6)
5. Remove the hanger pin, lock pin and set
screws from the top of the motor assembly.
6. Route wires exiting from the top of the fan
motor through the canopy ring. Make sure the
widest edge of the canopy ring are on top.
Route the wires through the canopy and then
through the ball/downrod assembly (Fig. 7).
7. Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod
with the holes in the collar on top of the motor
housing (Fig. 7). Carefully insert the hanger pin
through the holes in the collar and downrod. Be
careful not to jam the pin against the wiring
inside the downrod. Insert the locking pin
through the hole in locked position, as noted in
the circle inset of Figure 7.
8. Tighten two set screws on top of the fan
motor firmly. (Fig. 7)
9. Place the downrod ball into the hanger
bracket socket. (Fig. 8)

washers (every other one) from the collar of
top motor (Fig. 10)
6. Place the rubber gasket over the remaining
three screws, route the wires exiting the top of
the fan motor through the canopy ring (make
sure the slot openings of the ring are on top).
then proceed to place the ceiling canopy over
the collar at the top of the motor. Align the
mounting holes with the holes in the motor
and fasten using the screws and lock washers
provided. (Fig. 10).
7. Tighten the mounting screws securely. (Fig.
10)
8. Hang the fan on the hook of the hanger
bracket. Be certain that the canopy is fully
locked into hook as shown in Fig. 11. This
