If there isn't an existing ETL listed mounting
box, then read the following instructions.
Disconnect the power by removing fuses or
turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its
support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do
not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a
sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a
longer downrod to maintain proper clearance
between the tip of the blade and the ceiling.
A minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for
optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have
selected for installation, you may need to
purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the
support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist
hanger you purchase has been designed for
use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

5. HANGING THE FAN
REMEMBER to turn off the power before you
begin installation. This is necessary for your
safety and also the proper programming of
the control system.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the
steps below.
Step 1. Before attaching fan to outlet box
(not included), ensure the outlet box is securely
fastened to at least two points to a structural
ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan
to wobble). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from
the ceiling outlet box through the center of the
ceiling mounting bracket. Install mounting
bracket to outlet box in ceiling using the screws
and washers included with the outlet box or
screws and washers in the hardware bag. (Fig. 5)
Step 4. Slip the coupling cover, canopy hole cover
and canopy onto the downrod. Carefully reinstall
the hanger ball onto the downrod . Make sure the
cross pin is in the correct position and the set
screw is tight and the wires are not twisted . ( Fig. 8)
Step 2. Remove the hanger ball from downrod
assembly by loosening set screws , removing
the cross pin, and sliding ball off the rod.
( Fig. 6)
Step 3. Loosen the two set screws and remove
the lock pin and hitch pin from the top coupling of
the motor body.Carefully feed the fan wires up
through the downrod. Thread the downrod onto
the motor coupling until the hitch pin holes are
aligned. Next, replace the lock pin and hitch pin,
and tighten both set screws. (Fig. 7)

should not rotate is this is done correctly.
6 . INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(required for Canadian installation ONLY)
WARNING: Failure to properly seat the "Check
Tab" can damage the ceiling fan during operation.
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent
the ceiling fan from failing, please install it as
follows.
Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into
the side of the brace that holds the outlet box.
Leave 3mm (1/8") of space between the
support brace and the washer. (Fig. 10)
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is
required for Canadian installations only. It’s
a good idea to make the attachment with
any installation.
Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the
mounting bracket and one of the holes in
the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the
length of the safety cable to reach the screw
and washers by pulling the extra cable
through the cable clamp until the overall
lenght is correct, put the end of the cable
back through the cabel clamp, forming a

Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side
facing out.
4. Insure the batteries have a good charge.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are
tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
6. Do not connect this fan to a wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are
not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not
touch the ceiling.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the
blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be
equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in
conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch,
if desired.
