SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit
breakers.
• Make sure that 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 owf this fan is: 12.94 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oulet
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 gauges 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.
WARNING: 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.

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 (not included).
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°.
Flushmount installation is not available for this
item.
Closemount installation is not available for this
item.

3. Ensure the blades (N) will be at least 30 in. from
any obstructions. Also check the downrod (A) length
to ensure the blades (N) will be at least 7 ft. above

INITIAL INSTALLATION
4. Attach mounting bracket (D) to outlet box (not
included) using screws and washers provided with
the outlet box.
CAUTION: It is very important to use the proper
hardware when installing the mounting bracket (D) as
this will support the fan.
Important:If using the angle mount, ensure the open
end of the mounting bracket (D) is installed facing the
higher point of the ceiling.
5. Remove the downrod clip (C) and downrod pin (B)
from the downrod (A). Then partially loosen the
set screws (P) in the yoke at the top of the motor
assembly (G).
6. Insert the downrod (A) -- or a longer downrod, if
required -- through the canopy (E), canopy cover (F)
and yoke cover (I). Feed the wires and braided cable
from the fan through the downrod (A).

7. Slide the downrod (A) into the yoke, align the holes,
then re-install the downrod pin (B) and downrod
clip (C). Secure with set screws (P) and slide the
yoke cover (I) down until it rests on top of the motor
assembly (G).
8. 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).
9. If you decided to cut back the lead wire in Step 8, 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 the
step for black and green wires.
Note:If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 8,
Step 9 is not necessary and you may proceed to Step
10 instead.

WIRING
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 gauges and 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.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
1. Connect supply and fan wires according to the diagram
and these steps:
•ConnecttheGreenwiresfromthefanandtheupper
mounting bracket (D) to the Bare/Green (ground)
supply wire.
•ConnecttheWhitewirefromthefantotheWhite
(neutral) supply wire.
•ConnecttheBlackandBluewiresfromthefantothe
Black (hot) supply wire.
Secure all wiring connections together with wire
connectors (AA).
Note: If a second hot power wire is available from outlet
box, connect it to the blue (light power) wire from the
fan for separate light and fan control.
Note: The Blue wire is power for light. The Black
wire is power for the fan. The White wire is neutral/
common. The Green wire is the ground. If house
wires are different colors than referred to above, it is
recommended a professional electrician determines the
proper wiring.
