SAFETY RULES
1. CAUTION – RISK OF SHOCK – Disconnect Power at the main
circuit breaker panel or main fusebox before starting and during
the installation.
2. WARNING: All wiring must be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code “ANSI/NFPA 70” and local electrical codes.
Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be
installed with a general-use, isolating wall control/switch.
4. WARNING: Not suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support of
15.9 kg (35 lbs.) or less” and use mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support
of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need
to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the installation of this
fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly recommended.
6. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted
and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 15.9 kg (35
pounds). Use only cULus Listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable
for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.
7. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 2.1 m (7 feet)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
8. WARNING: Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned o and blades
stopped before reversing blade direction.
9. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
10. WARNING: make sure the power is disconnected before
cleaning your fan.
11. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the
fan.
12. 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.
13. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
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 the
ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
14. Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light kits that are
not packed with the fan must be cULus Listed and marked
suitable for use with the model fan you are installing.
Switches must be cULus General Use Switches. Refer to
the Instructions packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.
15. All set screws must be checked, and retightened where
necessary, before installation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO
NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS
FLANGES) DURING ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION.
DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect
the power by removing fuses or turning o 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 full weight
of the fan (up to 15.9 kg (35 pounds)). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of dierent 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)

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY CABLE
(required for Canadian installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from falling,
please install it as follows.
Step 1. Attach the wood screw and washers to the ceiling joist next to the
mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 11)
Step 2. 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 length is correct,
put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end
of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the
safety cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw
securely.
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations
only. It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation. Fig. 11
