WARNING:
Once you begin the process of hanging the
ceiling fan, do not leave the fan unattended until the
installation process is complete.
□Carefully lift the assembled fan up to the mounting
bracket (A) while slightly above the bottom of the mounting
bracket for better positioning.
□Seat the pivot ball portion of the downrod assembly (D) in the
mounting bracket socket (A). Rotate the fan as needed so the
tab on the mounting bracket socket (A) seats in the groove in
the pivot ball/downrod assembly (D).
□Feed all the electrical wires through the long hole on top of
the mounting bracket (A).
WARNING:
The pivot ball/downrod assembly (D) cannot
be inserted upward through from the bottom of the
mounting bracket (A). Position the pivot ball portion of the
pivot ball/downrod assembly (D) above the bottom of the
mounting bracket (A) so that when pivot ball/downrod
assembly (D) seats in the mounting bracket (A), adjust and
pull downward to secure. Failure to engage the fan’s tab
into the groove on the mounting bracket (A) could allow the
fan to wobble and/or fall. A falling fan could cause serious
personal injury or death.

WARNING:
Verify the power has been disconnected to

□If your outlet box has two hot wires, choose the supply wire
that matches the wall switch you want to use for the ceiling
fan and connect it to the black motor hot wire of the fan.
Then connect the other hot wire to the blue lighting
hot wire of the fan.
□Connect the white (neutral) supply wire to the fan white wire.
□Connect the hot wires to the fan hot wires in either of the
following two ways.

If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper),
the pivot ball/downrod assembly (D) to the motor ground
wire of the fan, and then connect them to the ground wire.
If there is no ground wire in your outlet box, connect the
ground wire on the pivot ball portion of the pivot ball/
downrod assembly (D) to the motor ground wire of the fan.
WARNING: Do not remove the ground wire on the pivot
ball portion of the pivot ball/downrod assembly (D).
□Install a plastic wire nut over each connection to secure.
Reinforce with electrical tape as needed to make sure no
bare wire is visible at the wire nuts (except for a bare
ground wire, if present).
□Spread the wires apart so the ground wires and white wires
go to one side and the hot wires go to the other, then carefully
tuck all the wire connections up into the outlet box.
NOTICE:
Orient the wires so the wire nuts are facing up and are
not touching each other. This will help minimize potential noise once
the installation is complete.
NOTE: For Canada installations, refer to the Canada
Installations Addendum located in the Canada
Installation Hardware Bag and install the eye bolt or
