SAFETY INFORMATION

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 LB (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 lb). 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 two
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 diagrams on the previous page. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt
to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
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
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.

Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box using
screws, spring washers, and flat washers
provided with the outlet box.
*NOTE:It is very important that you use the
proper hardware when installing the mounting
bracket (C) as this will support the fan.

sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is installed
facing the higher point of the ceiling.
4.
Remove pin (M) and clip (N) from motor housing
yoke at top of motor housing (D) and partially loosen
set screws.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. (2.44 m) high or higher. For
taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod
(not included) than the one provided. Angle style
mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted
ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary
to ensure proper blade clearance.

Depending on the length of downrod (A) 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 that you do so in the
following manner:
Take the lead wires and make sure that you
have pulled them all the way through the top of
the downrod (A). Start at the TOP of the ball on
the downrod (A) and measure 8 in. of lead wire,
and then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters
(not included).
NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires,
Steps 4 and 5 are not necessary and you may
proceed to Step 6 instead.

2. Insert downrod (A) through canopy (B). Thread
wires from motor housing (D) through downrod
(A).
3.
Slip downrod (A) into motor housing yoke, align
holes and re-install pin (M) and clip (N).
Re-tighten set screws in motor housing yoke
and then tighten nuts.
