WARNING:WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
Personal Injury, mount directly to a structural framing
member or to an outlet box marked “Acceptable For Fan
Support of up to 22.6kg(50 lbs)”. For outlet box mounting,
use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
WARNING:WARNING: Do not operate reversing switch while fan

Make sure the installation site you choose allows a
minimum clearance of 7 feet from the blades to the floor
and at least 30 inches from the ends of the blades to any
obstruction.
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.
After making the electrical connections, spliced
conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully
up into outlet box. The wires should spread apart with the
ground wire and white(common) wire to one side with the
black (load) wire to the other side of the outlet box.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that
are not packed with fan must be ETL Listed and marked
suitable for use with the model fan you are installing.
Switches must be ETL General Use Switches. Refer to the
instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for
proper assembly.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there is not 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
50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of dierent ways to mount the outlet
box.
NOTE: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: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)

system. To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.
Step 1.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). Install the screws and washers
included with the outlet box. NOTE:NOTE: Do not lock the screws completely, just
lock half.
Pass the 120 volt supply wires form the ceiling outlet box through the center
of the ceiling mounting bracket.(Fig. 5)
Step 2.Step 2. Align the slot holes on the mounting bracket with the screws, and
push the mounting bracket to the screws, then tighten the screws. (Fig. 6
