SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
• Beforeyoubegininstallingthefan,disconnectthepowerbyremovingfusesorturningo󰀨thecircuit
breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
CodeandANSI/NFPA70-199.Hireaqualiedelectricianorconsultado-it-yourselfwiring
handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to
theoorandatleast30in.fromtheendofthebladestoanyobstruction.
• The net weight of this fan is: 17.03 lbs.
DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to
the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious
injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan
after installation is complete.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan
parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming
noisefromthefan.Toreducetheriskofreorelectricshock,doNOTuseafull-rangedimmerswitch
to control the fan speed.
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshockorpersonalinjury,mountthefantoanoutlet
box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the mounting screws provided with the
outletbox.Mostoutletboxescommonlyusedforthesupportoflightingxturesarenotacceptable
forfansupportandmayneedtobereplaced.Consultaqualiedelectricianifindoubt.Securethe
outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshockorpersonalinjury,wireconnectorsprovided
with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If
your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the
two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshockorpersonalinjury,donotbendtheblade
arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between
the rotating fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use
of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Turno󰀨thecircuitbreakersandthewallswitchtothe
fan supply line leads.
DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power
supply prior to installation may result in serious injury
or death.
2. Determine the mounting method to use.
Standard mounting is best suited for ceilings 8 ft.
or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a
longer downrod (not included).
Angle-style mounting is best suited for angled or
vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes
necessary to ensure proper blade clearance.
Note: If using the angle mount, check to ensure the
ceiling angle is not steeper than 10°.
Closemount-style mounting is more suitable for
ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
Flushmount installation is not available for this item.
3. Ensure the blades (P) will be at least 30 in. from
any obstructions. Also check the downrod (A) length
to ensure the blades (P) will be at least 7 ft. above
theoor.

screws (R), then completely remove the two
mounting bracket screws (R) from the round holes
of canopy (E). Set aside for later use.
Detach mounting bracket (D) from canopy (E).
5. Attach mounting bracket (D) to outlet box (not
included) using screws and washers provided with
the outlet box.
CAUTION: It is very important to use the proper
hardware when installing the mounting bracket (D) as
this will support the fan.
Important:If using the angle mount, ensure the open
end of the mounting bracket (D) is installed facing the
higher point of the ceiling.
6. Remove all 10 preassembled motor screws (Q) and
vepreassembledplasticmotorblocksfromthe

STANDARD OR ANGLE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you
may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the
wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is
suggested you do so in the following manner: Take
the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them
all the way through the top of the downrod. Measure
8inchesofleadwire,thencuttheexcesswireo󰀨with
wire cutters (not included).
Then, strip 1/2 in. of insulation from the end of the
white wire. Twist the stripped ends of each strand of
wire within the insulation with pliers (not included).
5. Install the ball end of the downrod (A) into the opening
of mounting bracket (D). Align one of the four slots in
the ball with the tab in the mounting bracket (D).
Note:The downrod (A) should not rotate if installed
correctly.
DANGER: Failure to align the slot in the downrod
(A) with the tab of the mounting bracket (D) may
cause the fan to wobble or fall, which could result in
serious injury or death.
6. Insert the receiver from remote pack (W) into the
mountingbracket(D)withtheatsidefacingthe
ceiling.
