SAFETY INFORMATION
When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building
structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or
death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after
installation is complete.

SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with 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.
When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its
support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan
are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your
house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the
corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed control
device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the
rotating fan blades.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts
OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
3
Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure that they are secured.
CAUTION
NOTE: Dimmable to 10% with select dimmers.

IMPORTANT: You must use the parts
provided with this fan for proper installation and
safety.

You may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify
the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it
is suggested you do so in the following manner:
Take the lead wires and make sure you have pulled
them all the way through the top of the downrod.
Start at the TOP of the hanging ball on the downrod
and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and then cut the
excess wire off with wire cutters (not included).
NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires, Steps
5 and 6 are not necessary and you may proceed
to Step 7 instead.
5.
Install hanging ball of downrod (A) into opening of
mounting bracket (C). Align one of the slots in
hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C).
DANGER: Failure to align one of the slots in
hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C)
may result in serious injury or death.
7.
If you cut back the lead wires in Step 5, strip 1/2 in.
of insulation from end of white wire. Twist stripped
ends of each strand of wire within the insulation
with pliers. Repeat Step 6 for black, blue (if
applicable) and green wires.

secure vice by re-tightening screw and nut
securely. The loop at the end of the safety cable (Z)
should just fit over the threads on the wood screw.
Test safety cable (Z) by pulling on loose end of

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, each quick connect
clip provided with this fan is designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and one lead wire
from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to
connect to the corresponding fixture lead wires, consult an electrician.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
WARNING: The wires from the outlet box must be connected to a corresponding color of the
fan's wires. Be sure wire colors match before making connections. If house wires are different
colors than referred to in the following steps, stop immediately. A professional electrician is
recommended to determine wiring.
WIRING
WARNING: Using a full range dimmer switch (not included) to control fan speed will cause
a loud humming noise from fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do NOT use a full
range dimmer switch to control fan speed.
NOTE: To release a wire from clip (CC), twist
and pull the wire at the same time. This may
require some force.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
At least twice each year, lower canopy (B) to check downrod (A) assembly, and then tighten all screws
on fan. Clean motor housing (D) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Clean blades (G) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to
wood blades for added protection.
IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a
damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
Bulb Replacement: Use medium-base 9-watt LED bulbs or incandescent/CFL equivalents.
Battery Replacement: Use 9-volt alkaline battery.
