SAFETY RULES
1
1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure
the 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 50 pounds)
Do not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before proceeding with maintenance or cleaning.

INSTALLING THE FAN
MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off 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.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE:
NOTE:
You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a
steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire®dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install
a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka-Aire®dealer).

All of the parts, hardware and components such as the
hanger bracket and hanger ball have been provided for your safety and
the proper installation of your new ceiling fan. The use of other parts,
hardware or components not supplied by Minka Aire®with the fan will
void the Minka Aire®Warranty.
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the steps below to hang your
fan properly:
Step 1. Secure the Hanger Bracket to the ceiling outlet box using the screws
provided with your outlet box in conjunction with the lock-washers
provided with the fan. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Loosen the two Set Screws and remove the Hitch Pin and Lock Pin
from the coupling located on the top of the Motor Assembly. (Fig. 6)
Step 3. Remove the Hanger Ball from the Downrod Assembly by loosening
the Set Screw and removing the Cross Pin. (Fig. 7)
Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires up through the downrod. (Fig. 8) Thread
Downrod into the Coupling until the holes are lined up and secure with
the Lock Pin and Hitch Pin previously removed, tighten Set Screws. (Fig. 9)
Step 5. Slip Coupling Cover, Canopy Cover and Canopy onto Downrod.
Carefully re-install the Hanger Ball onto the Downrod being sure that it's
properly positioned over the Cross Pin and the wires are not twisted,
tighten Set Screw. (Fig. 9)
Step 6. Lift the Motor Assembly and place the Hanger Ball into the
Hanger Bracket. Rotate the Motor Assembly as needed until the check
groove from the Hanger Ball rests firmly over the registration tab from
the Hanger Bracket. Motor Assembly should not rotate if this is done
correctly. (Fig. 10)
