To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure 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 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this
fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently
damage the electronic circuitry.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws
provided with the outlet box.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only UL

other one a half turn from the screw head.
Next, turn the canopy counter clockwise to
removing the mounting bracket from the
canopy. (Figure 7)
Remove the clevis pin, cotter pin and set
screws from the top of the motor assembly.
(Figure 8)
NOTE: If a longer downrod is needed, take out
the screw located in the hanger ball, lower the
hanger ball and remove the pin, remove all 3
pieces from the downrod and assemble them
onto the new longer downrod before
proceeding step 4. (The longer downrod is
