SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, install or operate the
product.
• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage
that might exceed the initial cause for return.
• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National
Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself
wiring handbook (available at Lowe's) 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 floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
• After you install the fan, make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• The net weight of this fan including the light kit is: 12.72 lbs. (5.77 kg).

SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) 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.
When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal 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.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.
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 them, 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.
WARNINGS
CAUTIONS
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.

Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to
assemble the product.
Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety
Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers
Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself Wiring Handbook and
Wire Cutters
Bulbs Required (included): 3 candelabra-base 40-watt max. bulbs
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.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is
present.
After opening top of carton, remove mounting hardware package from foam inserts. Remove motor
from packing and place on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish.
CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure that they
are secured.

3. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the
switch housing, to optimize your fan for seasonal
performance. A ceiling fan will allow you to raise
your thermostat setting in summer and lower
your thermostat setting in winter without feeling
a difference in your comfort.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before moving the
reverse switch.

Housing

At least twice each year, lower motor housing (C) to check motor assembly (C), and then tighten all
screws. Clean motor housing (B) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Clean blades (G) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to
wood blades for added protection.
IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a
damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lowes.com/harborbreeze
3A 3B
3C
3C. IMPORTANT: Reverse switch must be set
either completely UP or completely DOWN for
fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the
middle position (Fig. 3C), fan will not operate.
3A. In warmer weather, setting the reverse switch
in the DOWN position will result in downward
airflow creating a wind chill effect. (Fig. 3A)
3B. In cooler weather, setting the reverse switch
in the UP position will result in upward airflow that
can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling
area. (Fig. 3B)

WARNING: Before beginning work, shut off the power supply to avoid electrical shock.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

5. Turn power off. Carefully loosen
motor housing (B) and verify that
mounting bracket (A) is secure
according to instructions on page 10.
Excessive
wobbling. 1. Blades (G) are loose.
