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 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; 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 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.
Before installation, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
3Lowes.com/harborbreeze
DANGER
CAUTION
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.
Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure they are secure.

2. Determine mounting method to use.
A. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
B. Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT:If using the angle mount, ensure the
ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. 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.

Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box (not
included) using screws, spring washers and flat
washers provided with the outlet box.
*NOTE: It is very important you use the proper
hardware when installing the mounting bracket
(C) as this will support the fan.
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make
sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is installed
facing the higher point of the ceiling, and ensure
the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
5. Remove preassembled motor screws (J) from
underside of motor housing (D). If there are plastic
motor blocks installed with the motor screws (J),
discard the plastic motor blocks.
Note: Make sure to keep loose hardware separate

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,
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) up through
downrod (A).
