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 CUL
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 CUL Listed and marked suitable for use with the
model fan you are installing. Switches must be CUL General Use
Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits and
switches for proper assembly.
NOTE
READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE ARMS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS BRACKETS) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS
IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

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 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.
3. Installing Your Fan

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.

Attaching the Fan Blades
NOTE: Before installing the fan, you need to attach the blades onto the motor.
1. There are 6 screws holding the top fan housing on the motor. Remove these 6 screws and
push the top fan housing upward. (fig. 5)
2. Insert the blade through the slot on the motor housing. Align holes and fasten the blade to the
motor with provided screws. (fig. 6)
3. Repeat this procedure for remaining blades.
WARNING: Make sure all screws are tightened securely.
4. After all the blades are securely fastened to the motor, push the top housing down on the
motor and fasten the top fan housing with 6 screws. (fig. 6)

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly:
Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover from the canopy by turning the cover
counter clockwise.(Fig. 7)
Step 2. Remove the hanger bracket from the
canopy by loosening the two screws on the
bottom of the hanging bracket a half turn from
the screw head and turning the canopy counter
clockwise.(Fig. 7)
Step 3. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling
outlet box with the screws and washers provided
with your outlet box.
Step 4. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through
the center hole in the ceiling hanger bracket.
(Fig. 8)
Step 5. Remove the hanger pin, lock pin and set
screws from the top of the motor assembly.
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 7. (The longer downrod is available at any
Home Depot store)
Step 6. Route wires exiting from the top of the
fan motor through the collar cover, canopy
cover, canopy and then through the ball /
downrod. (Fig. 9)
Step 7. Align the holes at the bottom of the
downrod with the holes in the collar on top of the
motor housing (Fig. 9). 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 near the end of the hanger pin until it
snaps into its locked position, as noted in the
circle inset of Fig. 9.
Step 8. Tighten two set screws on top of the fan
motor firmly (Fig. 9)
Step 9. Place the downrod ball into the hanger
bracket socket. Rotate the downrod ball until the
groove of the downrod ball lines up with the hook
of the hanger bracket. (This will help balance the
fan.)

Connections
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,
be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse
box before wiring.
NOTE: This remote control unit is equipped
with 16 code combinations to prevent possible
interference from or to other remote units. The
frequency switches on your receiver and
transmitter have been preset at the factory.
Please recheck to make sure the switches on the
transmitter and the receiver are set to the same
position, any combination of settings will
operate the fan as long as the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same position.(Fig. 11)
Step 1. (Fig. 12) Insert the receiver into the
mounting bracket with the flat side of the
receiver facing the ceiling.
Step 2. (Fig. 13) Motor to Receiver Electrical
Connections: Connect the black wire from the
fan to black wire marked "TO MOTOR L".
Connect the white wire from the fan to the
white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the
receiver. Connect the blue wire from the fan to
the blue wire marked "For Light" from the
receiver. Secure the wire connections with the
plastic wire nuts provided.
Step 3. (Fig. 13) Receiver to House Supply
Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the
black (hot) wire from the ceiling to the black
wire marked "AC in L" from the receiver.
Connect the white(neutral) wire from the
ceiling to the white wire marked "AC in N"
from the Receiver. Secure the wire connections
with the plastic wire nuts provided.
Step 4. (Fig. 13) If your outlet box has a ground
wire (green or bare copper) connect it to the fan
ground wires; otherwise connect the hanging
bracket ground wire to the mounting bracket.
Secure the wire connection with a plastic nut
provided.
After connecting the wires spread them apart
so that the green and white wires are on one
side of the outlet box and black and blue wires
are on the other side. Carefully tuck the wire
connections up into the outlet box.
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum
distance of 20 feet from the transmitting unit for
proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
