MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
“Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or
less”, and use screws provided with the outlet box. An
outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting
xtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may
need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
□Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
□Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use
the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and
its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the
moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the canopy bottom
cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the
mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above
(available at any Home Depot store).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped
ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from
horizontal.

□The fan comes with 54 in. lead wires for use with an extended
ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod
assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your
desired length (no shorter than 12 in.) This will make extra
room in the canopy (C), if you do not wish to cut the wires,
you will need to neatly wrap them.
□Connect the fan motor green wire(s) to the household green
or bare wire using a wire connecting nut (CC).
□Connect the fan motor white wire to the household white wire
using a wire connecting nut (CC).
□Connect the fan motor black and blue wires to the household
black wire using a wire connecting nut (CC).
□Secure each wire connecting nut using electrical tape.
□Turn the wire connecting nut (CC) upward and push the wiring
into the outlet box (NN).
IMPORTANT: Use the wire connecting nuts (CC) supplied with your
fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure there
are no loose strands or connections.
NOTE: The fan comes with 54 in. lead wires for use with an
extended ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod
assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired
length (no shorter than 12 in.).
WARNING: The hook (OO) is only to balance the fan while
making the electrical connections. Failure to hang as shown
may result in the hook (OO) breaking, causing the fan to fall.
The hook must pass from the inside to the outside of the
canopy.
WARNING: When hanging the fan on the hook (OO) it is
critical that you use one of the non-slotted (round) holes in
the canopy (C).

Mounting the fan
□Align the locking slots of the ceiling canopy (C) with the two
screws in the mounting bracket (A). Push up to engage the
slots, and turn clockwise to lock the canopy (C) in place.
□Firmly tighten the two mounting screws (GG).
□Install the remaining two mounting screws (GG) and washers
(HH) into the holes in the canopy (C) and tighten rmly.

WARNING: When using the standard ball/downrod mounting, the
tab in the ring at the bottom of the mounting bracket must rest in
the groove of the hanger ball. Failure to properly seat the tab in
the groove could cause damage to the wiring.
