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.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the fan,
including the blades.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.
When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. 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.).
To reduce the risk of fire, 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
corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed control
device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing the blades, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the
rotating fan blades.
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.
Before installation, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.
Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Once installation is complete, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly
to ensure that they are secured.

2. Determine mounting method to use.
A. Standard mount
B. Angle mount
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, ensure
the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
NOTE: Flushmount and closemount options are
not available for this fan.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. high 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.

Check to make sure blades (H) will be at least
30 inches from any obstruction. Check downrod (A)
length to ensure blades (H) will be at least 7 ft.
above the floor.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
DANGER: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble the
blades (H). If blade screws (CC) are overtightened,
blades (H) may crack and break.
Partially insert three blade screws (CC), along with
three fiber blade washers (BB), into holes in blade (H)
to attach blade arm (G) to blade (H). Then, tighten
each blade screw (CC) starting with the one in the
middle.
Repeat Step 6 for remaining blades (H) and blade
arms (G).

INITIAL INSTALLATION
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. Start at the TOP of the hanging ball on
the downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, then
cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not
included).
NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires,
Steps 11 and 12 are not necessary and you may
proceed to Step 13 instead.
