Please contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do
not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
It will permanently damage the electronic circuitry.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not
bend the blade arms (also referred to as flanges), when
installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the
fan.
WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating
fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, mount the fan to the outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support with the screws provided with the
outlet box.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has
been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code “ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes.
Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35
lbs (15.9 kg) or less. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked
“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
5. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
6. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
7. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan
blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.
8. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor
on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on
the other side of the outlet box.
9. All setscrews must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.
10. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
The following responsible party designated in FCC §2.909 is
responsible for this declaration:

you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with product use or
performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights, and you may also have other

To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (QQ) (not included)
as shown above.
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 (PP) (not included) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials
(not included). 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 (PP) (not included).

MOUNTING OPTIONS
MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the 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.
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy (C) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly
(D), turn the canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C)
to the mounting bracket (A).

WARNING: Failure to properly install the cotter pin (EE)
could result in the fan loosening and possibly falling.
NOTE: If a longer downrod (not included) is needed, take
out the screw located in the hanger ball (RR), lower the
hanger ball (RR) and remove the pin (NN). Remove all three
pieces from the downrod and assemble them onto the new
longer downrod before proceeding to the downrod installa-
tion.
□Remove the cotter pin (EE) and clevis pin (DD), and
loosen the two collar setscrews (FF) from the motor
collar.
□Take out the setscrew (OO) located in the hanger ball
(RR), lower the hanger ball (RR) and remove the cross
pin (NN). Remove the hanger ball (RR) from the
hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).
□Remove the ground lead (SS) from the downrod
assembly (D).
□Carefully feed the motor wires up through the
downrod (TT). Thread the downrod (TT) into the collar.
□Align the holes and replace clevis pin (DD) and cotter
pin (EE). Tighten the two collar setscrews (FF).
□Slip the coupling cover (E), canopy ring (B), and
canopy (C) onto the downrod (TT). Tighten the
coupling cover screw (LL) by using the hex wrench
(MM) provided.
□Carefully reinstall the hanger ball (RR) onto the
downrod (TT) and reinstall the ground lead (SS) onto
the downrod (TT). Be sure that the cross pin (NN) is in
the correct position, the setscrew (OO) is tightened
and wires are not twisted.

Hanging the fan to the mounting
bracket
□Carefully lift the fan motor assembly (F) up to the
mounting bracket (A) and seat the hanger
ball/downrod assembly (D) in the mounting bracket
(A) socket. Make sure the tab on the mounting
bracket (A) socket is properly seated in the groove in
the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D). This will help
to balance the ceiling fan.

plastic wire nuts (AA and KK) with electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or connections.
□ Make wire connections as follows, using the wire nuts (AA).
□ Make wire connections as follows, using the wire nuts (KK).
* There are two green grounding leads: one from the mounting bracket (A)
and one from the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).
