To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker
before beginning. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code “ANSI/NFPA
70” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a licensed electrician.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m) clearance from the trailing edge of
the fan blades to the floor and a minimum of 1.5 ft (0.5m) from the edge of the fan blades to the
surrounding walls. Never place objects in the path of the fan blades. To avoid personal injury or
damage to the fan and other items, please be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the motor or finish, do not use water or chemicals
when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable
for most cleaning.
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 one side of the outlet box, and the ungrounded conductor
on the other side of the outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and re-tightened
where necessary before installation.

1. Mounting Options
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure electricity has been
turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning.
If there isn’t an existing UL/cUL listed outlet box, please refer to the
following instructions. Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet
box and support structure must be able to fully support the moving
weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs/15.9 kg). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes. Use only UL/cUL listed outlet boxes marked
“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Figures 1-1C are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE: To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no
ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar.
1. Disconnect power to the fan location at the breaker. A licensed
electrician must install the fan.
2. There are four screws on top of the motor assembly. Remove two
that are on the opposite of each other and save for the Finishing
the Installation section. Loosen remaining two.
3. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the
ceiling mounting bracket as shown (Fig. 2).
4. Secure the hanger plate to the ceiling outlet box with the screws
and washers provided (Fig. 2).
REMEMBER to turn off power at the breaker.

and save for use in the Finishing the Installation section. Loosen
the other screw (Fig. 3).
2. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole
in the ceiling mounting bracket as shown in (Fig. 3A).
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling outlet box with
the screws and washers provided with your fan.
Use A hardware.
4. Lift motor assembly and hang it on the hook of mounting bracket
using one of the screw holes (Fig. 3B).
5. Secure the safety cable to the building structure using spring
washer, flat washer, and wood screw provided (Fig. 3B).
