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 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 of this fan is: 23.3 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.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan
parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming
noisefromthefan.Toreducetheriskofreorelectricshock,doNOTuseafull-rangedimmerswitch
to control the fan speed.
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshockorpersonalinjury,mountthefantoan
outlet 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.).
WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electric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/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,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. If using the angle
mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not
steeper than 16°.
Closemount installation is more suitable for ceilings
lower than 8 ft. high.
Flushmount installation is not available for this item.

any obstructions. Also check the downrod (E) length
to ensure the blades (K) will be at least 7 ft. above
theoor.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
4. Loosen all four mounting brackets screws (Z),
then completely remove the two mounting bracket
screws (Z) from the round holes of canopy (B). Set

Note:Do NOT remove the mounting bracket screws
(Z) from the slotted holes.
5. Secure the mounting bracket (A) to the outlet box
using screws and washers provided with the outlet
box.
CAUTION: It is very important you use the proper
hardware when installing the mounting bracket (A) as
this will support the fan.
Important:If using the angle mount, ensure the open
end of the mounting bracket (A) is installed facing the
higher point of the ceiling.
6. Remove all 10 preassembled motor screws (Y) and
vepreassembedmotorblocksfromtheundersideof

4. If installing the fan outdoors (optional), feed the fan
wires through the holes in the downrod gasket (U).
Then, slide the downrod gasket (U) over the top of the
downrod (E).
Note: If installing indoors, discard the downrod gasket
(U) and proceed to step 5.
Note: The yoke gasket (T) will not be used in this type
of installation.
5. Install the ball end of the downrod (E) into the opening of
the mounting bracket (A). Rotate the fan in the mounting
bracket (A) until a slot in the ball of the downrod (E)
engages the tab in the mounting bracket (A).
DANGER: The fan and/or downrod (E) should
not rotate in the mounting bracket (A) if installed
correctly. Failure to align the slot with the tab may
result in the fan falling, which could cause serious
injury or death.
