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 16°.
Closemount-style mounting is more suitable for
ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
Flushmount installation is not available for this item.
