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 ETL 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 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the 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.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT
FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED
"ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT".
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.

If there isn't an existing ETL 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)

To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the
steps below.
Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover from the canopy by turning the cover
counter clockwise. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket
from the canopy by removing (and save) one
of the two screws. Loosen the remaining
screw by a half turn. (Fig. 5)
Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from
the ceiling outlet box through the center of the
ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig.6)
Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to
the outlet box using the screws and washers
included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)
Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the
downrod assembly by loosening the set screw,
removing the cross pin and the ball from the
downrod. (Fig.7)
Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and retaining clip from
the coupling on top of the motor assembly.
(Fig. 8)
Step 7. 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. 8)

Tab" has dropped into the "Registration Slot"
and seats firmly. (Fig. 10)
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.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(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 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.
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,
be sure you have turned off the power at the
main circuit panel.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to
your household wiring. Use the wire connecting
nuts suppled with your fan. Secure the
connectors with electrical tape. Make sure there
are no loose wire strands or connections.
Step 1. Connect the fan supply (black) wire to
the black household supply wire as shown in
Figure 12.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to
the neutral household (white) wire.
Step 3. Connect the fan ground wire (green) to
the household ground wire.
Step 4. After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so that the green and white wires are on
one side of the outlet box and the black and
blue wires are on the other side.
Step 5. Turn the connecting nuts upward and
push the wiring into the outlet box.

Step 1. Tuck all the connections neatly into the
ceiling outlet box.
Step 2. Slide the canopy up to the mounting
bracket and place one of the key hole slots
over the mounting screw on the mounting
bracket. Rotate the canopy until the screw
head locks in place at the narrow section of
the key hole. See figure 13.
Step 3. Align the remaining circular hole on the
canopy with the remaining hole on the Ceiling
Mounting Bracket. Insert and tighten the
mounting screw you removed earlier and the
mounting screw from Step 2 above. Now,
attach the canopy cover to the mounting screw
heads by inserting the screw heads into the
bottom side of the canopy cover and rotating
the cover clockwise.
NOTE: Adjust the canopy screws as
necessary until the canopy and canopy cover
are snug. (Fig. 13)

circuit breaker or by removing the correct fuse.
Turning the power off using a wall switch is not
sufcient to prevent electrical shock.
Step 1. Loosen the two mounting screws on
the inside of the light plate then remove and
save the third screw.
Hold the socket plate close to the light plate
and connect the white wires from the socket
plate and blue wire from the fan by pushing the
connectors together. Follow the same
procedure with the black wire connectors.
(Fig. 16)
Step 2. Tuck the connections neatly into the
light plate. Place the key holes on the socket
plate over the 2 screws previously loosened
from the light plate, turn the socket plate until
