SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been
turned o 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: Not suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount to outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support of
15.8 kg (35 lbs.) or less" and use mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support
of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need
to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the installation of this fan,
a qualified licensed electrician is strongly recommended.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED
"ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT".
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.
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 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 moving weight of the fan
(at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of dierent 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)

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure you have turned
o 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 and light supply (blue) 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)
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn the power on and check the operation of your ceiling fan.
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 o.
The another side pull chain turns the light fixture On and O.
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 eect as shown in Fig. 17. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting without aecting your
comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An upward airflow moves warm
air o the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 18. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a cooler setting without aecting your comfort.

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 o.
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. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). they are not compatible with ceiling fan motors
or remote controls.
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. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight
and possibly result in smoother operation.
