STEP 1 - GETTING READY
PREPARING THE FAN SITE
Reliable operation, efficiency, and
maximum energy savings depend
upon proper placement and attach-
ment of the fan. For this reason, we
have included a separate booklet —
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” — to help you
select the best location for your fan.
The booklet also provides informa-
tion to ensure your fan support and
electricoutletboxmeetUL-approved
safety codes for ceiling fans.
The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
the “Guide to Choosing and Prepar-
ing a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick the
fan location and make certain the
proper fan support and outlet box
are installed.
CHECKING YOUR FAN PARTS
Carefully unpack your fan parts to
avoid damage. Check for shipping
damage. If one of the fan blades is
damaged, return all blades for re-
placement.
Hint: Ifinstallingmorethan one fan,
keep the fan blades in sets, as
shipped.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE CEILING PLATE
1. Drill two pilot holes into the
wood support structure through
the outermost holes on the out-
let box. The pilot holes should be
9/64" in diameter and 4 1/4"
(110mm) apart. See Figure 2a.
2. Insert the 3 rubber isolators into
the 3 round holes in the ceiling
plate as shown in Figure 2b.
Thread the lead wires from the
outlet box through the opening
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
3. Align two opposing oval slots in
the ceiling plate with the pilot
holes in the wood support struc-
ture. See Figure 2b.
ANGLE MOUNTING
For Angle Mounting be sure to orient
the Ceiling Plate so that the arrows
marked on the plate are pointing to-
wards the ceiling peak. See Figure 2b.
