costs of removing and reinstalling the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident, misuse, improper installa-
tion or by affixing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not cover
any changes in brass finish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass finishes of this type give their 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 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 apply to you. This warranty gives specific 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.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (MM) (not
included) as shown above.
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 (LL) (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
lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (LL) (not included).

Please contact 1-877-527-0313 for further assistance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, 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 fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
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 touches the downrod, then remove the decorative
canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before
attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A).

by removing the non-slotted mounting bracket screw
(BB) from the bottom of the canopy (B) and loosening
the slotted mounting bracket screw (BB) a half turn
from the screw head. Next, turn the canopy (B)
counterclockwise to remove the mounting bracket (A)
from the canopy (B).
3Assembling the fan
□Route the wires exiting from the top of the fan motor
assembly (F) through the coupling cover (E) and the
canopy bottom cover (C). Ensure the slot openings
are on top.
□Route the wires through 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 (GG) against
the wiring inside the hanger ball/downrod assembly
(D).
WARNING: Failure to properly install the cotter pin (GG)
could result in the fan loosening and possibly falling.
NOTE: If a longer downrod (not included) is needed, 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.
□Insert the cotter pin (GG) through the hole near the
end of the clevis pin (FF) until it snaps into the locked
position.
□Tighten the two collar setscrews (HH) on top of the
fan motor assembly (F) firmly.

If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
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 (N) and remote control (O) have been preset at
the factory. Please recheck to make sure the switches on
the remote control (O) and the receiver (N) are set to the
same position. Any combination of settings will operate
the fan as long as the remote control (O) and receiver (N)
are set to the same position.
□After checking the switches, insert the receiver (N)
into the mounting bracket (A) with the flat side of the
receiver (N) facing the ceiling.
CAUTION: The frequency switches on the receiving unit are
covered with a rubber cover. Remove the rubber cover, and
then replace it after making any changes to the frequency
switches.
CAUTION: Do not use with a wall light dimmer switch.
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, ensure
electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before
connecting the wiring.
