1. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
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 and local electrical
codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
3. WARNING: Suitable for use with solid-
state speed controls.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced,
consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.
7. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. After marking 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.

4. 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 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: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Fig 4.

Step 4. Remove hanger ball from downrod
assembly by loosening set screws, removing
the cross pin, and sliding ball off rod. (Fig. 7)
Step 5. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and lock pin from the top
coupling of the motor assembly. (Fig. 8)
Step 6. Carefully feed the fan wires up through
the downrod. Thread the downrod into the

Step 1. Tuck connections neatly into ceiling
outlet box.
Step 2. Slide the canopy up to ceiling and
over the two screws on hanger bracket. Rotate
canopy clockwise, next, while holding the
canopy with one hand, slide the canopy cover
over the screws and rotate clockwise until
tight. NOTE: adjust the canopy screws as
necessary until the canopy and canopy cover
are snug. (Fig.15)
Warning: Make sure the "Check Tab" at the
bottom of the hanger bracket is properly
seated in the "Registration Slot" on the side of
the hanger ball before attaching the canopy to
the bracket. Failure to properly seat the
"Check Tab" could damage the electrical wires
when to ceiling fan blade direction is changed
while the fan is running.
Figures 13 and 14 illustrate the wiring
connections for optional wall control (The wire
color out of wall control may vary, see wall
control's installation manual for correct wire
connections.)
