SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure 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: 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. Do not operate reversing switch while fan blades are in motion. Fan must be
turned off and blades stopped before reversing blade direction.
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.
Special Notice: This appliance is equipped with a "Wattage Limiting
Device" required by the United States Department of Energy. The device
has been installed at the factory and can not be removed.
Installing Lamps in excess of 190 total watts will disable the unit's light
fixture. If this should happen, you will need to reset the lighting fixture by
turning the power off to the ceiling fan and/or light fixture, reinstalling lamps
totaling less that 190 watts and then turning the power back on.

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 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: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian
installations only. It's a good idea to make the attachment with any
installation.
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.
