Standard Ceiling Mounting
1. Remove the mounting 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
mounting bracket.
2. Route the wires exiting the top of the fan
motor through the canopy and then through
the ball/downrod assembly (Figure 6).
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the 2 set
screws on the collar on the top of the mo-
tor housing.
4. Align the holes at the bottom of the down-
rod with holes in the collar on top of the
motor housing (Figure 6). Carefully insert
the bolt through the holes in the collar

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the pow-
er. 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 “close-to-
ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling”
mounting is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the oor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 inches. The “close-to-ceiling”
installation reduces the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 8 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation 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 installation.

er from the canopy by depressing the three
studs (Figure 7).
3. Remove three of the six screws and lock-
washers (every other one) securing the re-
inforcing plate to the top of the fan motor
housing (Figure 8).
4. Place the rubber gasket over the remaining
three screws, route the wires exiting the top
of the fan motor through the ceiling cano-
py over the collar at the top of the motor
(Figure 9).
5. Align the mounting holes with the holes
in the motor and fasten, using the three
screws and lock-washers removed in step 3
(Figure 9).

Installing Fan to
the Outlet Box
1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the
center hole in the ceiling mounting bracket
as shown in Figure 10.
2. Install the ceiling mounting bracket on the
outlet box by sliding the mounting bracket
over the two screws provided with the outlet
box. When using close-to-ceiling mounting,
it is important that the mounting bracket be
level. If necessary, use leveling washers (not
included) between the mounting bracket and
the outlet box. Note that the at side of the
mounting bracket is toward the outlet box
(Figure 10).

WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN ON A SLOPED
CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD
MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. MAKE
SURE THE MOUNTING BRACKET SLOTS ARE
ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE MOUNT-
ING BRACKET FROM THE TOP DOWN. THE HOOK AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 11 IS ONLY
TO BALANCE FAN WHILE ATTACHING WIRING.
FAILURE TO HANG AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 11
MAY RESULT IN HOOK BREAKING, CAUSING
THE FAN TO FALL. HOOK MUST PASS FROM
INSIDE TO OUTSIDE OF CANOPY
LOCKING SLOTS OF CEILING CANOPY ARE
PROVIDED ONLY AS AN AID TO MOUNTING.
DO NOT LEAVE FAN ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED
UNTIL ALL FOUR CANOPY SCREWS ARE EN-
GAGED AND FIRMLY TIGHTENED.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT
FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED AC-
CEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE THE
MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE
OUTLET BOX.
3. Securely tighten the two mounting screws.
4. Carefully lift the assembly up to the ceiling
mounting bracket and hang the fan on the
hook provided by utilizing one of the holes
at the outer rim of the ceiling canopy (Fig-
ure 11). If using standard mounting, seat the
hanger ball in the mounting bracket socket.
Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket
socket is properly seated in the groove in the
hanger ball (Figure 11).
WHEN USING THE STANDARD BALL/DOWN-
ROD MOUNTING, THE TAB IN THE RING AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET MUST
REST IN THE GROOVE OF THE HANGER BALL.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAT THE TAB IN THE
GROOVE COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRING.

Making the Electrical
Connections
REMEMBER to disconnect the power. 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 wire
connecting nuts supplied with your fan. Se-
cure the connectors with electrical tape.
Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
1. Connect the ground conductor of the 120v
supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire
with green colored insulation) to the green
ground lead(s) of the fan (Figure 12). When
using standard ceiling mounting, there are
two green grounding leads; one from the
ceiling mounting bracket and one from
the ball/downrod assembly. When using
“Close-to-Ceiling” mounting, there is only
one green ground lead from the ceiling
mounting bracket since the ball/downrod
assembly is not used.
