in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and all local code specifications. If you are
not familiar with code requirements, installation by
a certified electrician is recommended.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, use only the control provided with the fan.
4. 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 15.9kg
(35 lbs) or less”. For outlet box mounting, use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
5. To operate the reverse function on this fan, slide
the reverse switch to the opposite position. Do
not operate reversing switch while fan blades
are in motion. Fan must be turned o and blades
stopped before reversing blade direction.
6. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
7. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and
other items, be cautious when working around or
cleaning the fan.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Electrical diagrams are for 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.

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 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.
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: You must use 12" or longer downrod for 30° slope
(max angle 30°). (Fig. 3)
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)

HANGING THE FAN
REMEMBER to turn o the power before you begin installation. This is necessary for
your safety and also the proper programming of the control system.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.
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). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the
center of the ceiling mounting bracket. Install mounting bracket to outlet box in ceiling
using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Remove one of the two shoulder screws in the mounting bracket and save it for
later use. Loosen the second shoulder screw without fully removing it. (Fig. 6)
Step 3. Remove the hanger ball from downrod assembly by loosening set screws,
removing the cross pin, and twisting ball o the rod. ( Fig. 7)

HANGING THE FAN (continued)
Step 4. Loosen the two set screws and remove the clip and cross pin from the top
coupling of the motor body.Carefully feed the fan wires up through the downrod.
Thread the downrod onto the motor coupling until the cross pin holes are aligned.
Next, replace the cross pin and clip, and tighten both set screws. (Fig.8)
Step 5. Slip the coupling cover, canopy trim ring and canopy onto the downrod.
Carefully reinstall the hanger ball onto the downrod. Make sure the cross pin is
in the correct position and the set screws are tight and the wires are not twisted.
(Fig.9)
Step 6. Now lift the motor body into position and place the hanger ball into the
hanger bracket. Rotate until the “Check Tab” has dropped into the “Registration
Slot” and seats firmly. (Fig.10) The entire motor body should not rotate if this is
done correctly.
WARNING: Failure to properly seat the “Check Tab” can damage the ceiling fan
during operation.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(required for Canadian installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from faIling, please
install it as follows.
Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet
box. Leave 3mm (1/8") of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 11)
Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in
the outlet box into the ceiling. 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.
(Fig. 12)
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only.
It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

Step 1. Connect the fan supply (black) wire and light supply (blue) wire to the black
household supply wire as shown in Figure 13.
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
