SAFETY TIPS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit
panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN
AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp
edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code,
and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are
different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at
least ten (10) feet (3.05 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be
mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other
upright structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at
least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure.
Use only ETL or UL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less," and use the 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.
WARNING: 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.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up
into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire and to prevent humming noise do not use this fan with any
solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer
switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]
8. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or
cleaning the fan.
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.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety
cable provided may result in personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are
necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

3. Installation Preparation.
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 10ft. (3.05m) from the floor and 30in.
(76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to
400 square feet (37.2 square meters).
This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a
regular (no slope) ceiling only. Fan cannot be
mounted as a flushmount nor on a vaulted
ceiling.

WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be
sure the outlet box is securely attached to the
building structure and can support the full weight
of the fan. Ensure outlet box is clearly marked
"Suitable for Fan Support." If not, it must be
replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly
grounded and that a ground (GREEN or bare)
wire is present.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using
original screws, spring washers and flat
washers provided with new or original outlet

Loosen canopy set screw and lower
canopy to expose hanging bar. Separate
electrical wiring and safety cable from
rubber band. Lift fan onto j-hook hanging
bracket and slide rubber bushing over
hook. Make the wiring connections as
shown in Section 6 on the following page.
IMPORTANT: Find a secure attachment
point (wood ceiling joist highly
recommended) and secure safety
cable--refer to diagram on the following
page as well. Use a heavy duty wood screw,
washer and lock washer (not supplied)
over safety cable loop.
Adjust safety cable length by loosening
screw and nut on safety cable vice. Adjust
slack to a hand's length and tighten nut on
vice securely.The loop at the end should
just fit over the threads on the wood screw.
Test cable by pulling on loose end of cable
with pliers.If cable slips,then vice and nut
must be set tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.
