product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off 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: 16.23 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.
DANGER: If using the fan in a wet location, the fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical
shock or death.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan
parts with sharp edges.
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.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electrical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 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orelectricshock,donotusethefanwithanysolid-state
speed-control device or control the fan speed with a full-range, dimmer switch.
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.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Turn off 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 (sold separately).
Angle mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted
ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary
to ensure proper blade clearance. Important: If using
the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is
not steeper than 16°.
Closemount installation is more suitable for ceilings
lower than 8 ft. high.
Flushmount installation is not available for this item.

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 off with
wire cutters (not included).
5. If you decided to cut back the lead wire in Step 4, 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). Repeat this
step for black, blue and green wires.
Note: If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 4,
Step 5 is not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6.
6. 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.
