CARE AND MAINTENANCE
At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check
the downrod assembly, and then tighten all screws
on the fan. Clean the motor housing with only a soft
brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish.
Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth. You may
occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to
wood blades for added protection.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the
circuit breakers.
• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualied electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if
you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the
oor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
DANGER
WARNING
WARNING
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.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
use the fan with any solid-state speed-control
device or control the fan speed with a full-range
dimmer switch.
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
“ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most
outlet boxes commonly used for the support of
lighting xtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualied
electrician if in doubt. 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.). Do NOT use a plastic
outlet box.

CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of re, electric 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. Read all instructions and safety information
before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.
Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or
that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
DANGER
Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to
the fan supply line leads. Failure to disconnect
the power supply prior to installation may result in
serious injury or death.
1. Your fan has 3 mounting options:
• Standard (Fig. 1)
• Angled (Fig. 2)
• Closemount (Fig. 3)
Note: The fans in gures 1 through 3 are not the actual
fan in your package, they are representation of the
3 different mounting options.
Important: If using the angle mount, check to ensure
the ceiling angle is not steeper than 10°.
Helpful Hint: Standard mounting is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may
want to use a longer downrod (sold separately).
Angled mounting is best suited for angled or
vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes
necessary to ensure proper blade clearance.
Closemount-style mounting is more suitable for
ceilings lower than 8 ft. (2,44 m) high.
2. Ensure that the blades of the fan are 30 in. (76 cm)
from any obstruction.
3. Check the downrod length to ensure the blades will
be at least 7 ft. (2,14 m) above your oor.

4. Remove the two mounting bracket screws and
washers from the round holes in the canopy and
loosen the other two screws. Set aside for later
use. Detach mounting bracket from canopy (Fig. 4).
5. Secure the mounting bracket to the outlet box using
screws and washers provided with the outlet box
(not included) (Fig. 5).
Note: It is very important that you use proper hardware
when installing the mounting bracket as it supports
the fan.
Important: If using the angle mount, ensure that the
open end of the mounting bracket is installed facing
the peak of the ceiling.

9. Slide the downrod into the yoke of the motor
assembly, align the holes, and re-install the
downrod pin and downrod clip. Then re-tighten the
set screws (Fig. 9).
10. 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 that you do so in the following
manner: Take the lead wires and make sure that
you have pulled them all the way through the top
of the downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and
then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not
included) (Fig. 10).
11. If you cut back the lead wire in Step 10, strip 1/2
in. of insulation from the end of each wire. Twist
the stripped ends of each strand of wire within the
insulation with pliers (not included) (Fig. 11).
Note: If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 10,
Step 11 is not necessary and you may proceed to
Step 12 instead.

used in this type of installation.

15. Align the canopy with the closemount screw
holes in the top of the motor assembly. Secure

installing three closemount screws and spring
washers into the top of the motor housing (Fig. 15).
