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.

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: 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)

NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two
types of hanging assemblies; a downrod and
canopy mounting system and a "close to
ceiling" Canopy ONLY system. The "close-to-
ceiling" installation is recommended in rooms
with less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the floor to the
fan blades. Once you have selected which
mounting system you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary, each
section of the instructions will note the different
procedures to follow for the two types of
mounting.
REMEMBER to turn off the power before you
begin.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the
steps below.
Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover from the canopy. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Loosen the four screws on the top of
the canopy. Remove the two non-slotted
screws and loosen the slotted screws. This will
enable you to remove the ceiling mounting
bracket. (Fig. 5)
Step 3. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket
from the canopy by loosening the two screws on
the bottom of the ceiling mounting bracket. Turn
the canopy counterclockwise and remove. (Fig.
5)
Step 4. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the
ceiling outlet box through the center of the
ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig. 6)
Step 5. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to
the outlet box using the screws and washers
included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)
Step 1. Remove the hanger ball from the
downrod assembly by loosening the set screw,
removing the cross pin and unscrewing the ball
off the rod. (Fig.7)
Step 2. Loosen the two set screws and remove
the hitch pin and retaining clip from the
coupling on top of the motor assembly. (Fig. 7)

Step 3. Carefully feed the electrical lead wires
from the fan up through the downrod. Thread
the downrod into the coupling until the Hitch
pin holes are aligned.
Next, replace the hitch pin and retaining clip.
Tighten both set screws. (Fig. 7)
Step 4. Slip the canopy cover and canopy
onto the downrod.
Thread the hanger ball onto the downrod,
insert the cross pin through the downrod and
tighten. Now tighten the set screw. (Fig. 7)
Step 5. Lift the motor assembly into position
and place the hanger ball into the ceiling
mounting bracket.
Rotate the entire assembly until the "Check
Tab" has dropped into the "Registration Slot"
and seats firmly. (Fig. 8)
The entire motor assembly should not rotate
(left or right) when seated properly.
WARNING: Failure to reattach the cross pin
and seat the "Check Tab" can cause the fan
to fall from the ceiling during operation. Take
special care to make sure this pin is
reattached.
Step 1. Remove three of the six screws and
lock washers (every other one) from the collar
on top of the motor assembly. Place the
ceiling fan canopy and the rubber gasket over
the collar and align the mounting holes with
the holes in the collar. Attach the canopy with
the rubber gasket and the three screws and
lock washers previously removed. (Fig. 9)
WARNING: Failure to completely tighten the
three mounting screws in step 9 could result
in the fan possibly falling from the ceiling.
Step 2. Hang the fan on the ceiling mounting
bracket by inserting the hook on the inside
edge of the ceiling mounting bracket through
one of the screw holes in the ceiling canopy
(Fig. 10). This will allow you to have both
hands free to make the wiring connections.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(required for Canadian installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help
prevent the ceiling fan from falling.
Step 1. Attach the provided 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.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
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.
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. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed
controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another
type of control.
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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO INUSRE
THE PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE
BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON
THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE INSTALLING,
BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS
BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
