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".

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.

cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust
cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.
11. After making the electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be 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.

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 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
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. 3)

12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pull chain controls the 3 speeds of your
ceiling fan.
1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low
and the 4th pull turns the motor off.
The Black Slide Switch on the side of the
switch housing controls the direction of the
blades "Forward and Reverse".
Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise)
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Fig. 12. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An
upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Fig. 13. This allows you to
set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.
