SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
3Lowes.com/harborbreeze
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. 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 proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
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.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
Determine mounting method to use.
A. Standard mount
B. Angle mount
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, ensure the
ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
*Helpful Hint: Standard mounting is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. high 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.

FAN MOUNTING
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 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.

3. Slip downrod (A) into yoke, align holes and
re-install pin (P) and clip (Q). Tighten set screws
and then tighten nuts on the set screws. Slide
yoke cover (E) down until it rests on top of motor
housing (G).

If you decided to cut back the lead wires in Step 4,
strip a 1/2 in. of insulation from end of WHITE wire.
Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within the
insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat Step 5
for BLACK, BLUE (if applicable) and GREEN wires.
