Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes and standards (ANSI/NFPA
70) including fire-rated construction.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.
After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor
on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box. The splices, after being made, should be
turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
WARNING: Before you begin installing the fan, servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
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 to the trailing edge of the blade.
WARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Electric Shock, or Personal Injury, Mount To Outlet Box Marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of
15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less” And Use Mounting Screws Provided With The Outlet Box.
CAUTION: For Compliance with Local Codes and Regulations, If Installing The Secondary Support Safety Cable in the U.S., Do Not Remove
Knockouts In The Outlet Box. Mount the secondary support safety cable through the reserved nail/screw hole on the outlet box to the
building structure (or the ceiling joist).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do
not insert foreign object between rotating blades.
Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any unverified solid state fan speed control device, or
variable speed control.
If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.
Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s guideline safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
CAUTION: To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock, Disconnect the electrical supply circuit to the fan before installing the light kit.
All set screws must be checked and tightened where necessary before installation.
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers

Before you begin installing the fan, Switch
power off at Service panel and lock
service disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a warning device, such
as a tag, to the service panel.
Use AC 120V/60HZ power supply
only.
Before installing this fan make sure the
outlet box is properly installed to the
house structure. To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or personal injury,
mount to outlet box or supporting system
acceptable for fan support.
(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan
support and use only the screws provided
with the outlet box (must support 35 lbs).
Before attaching fan to outlet box, ensure
the outlet box is securely fastened by at
least two points to a structural ceiling
member ( a loose box will cause the fan to
wobble). Remove the two outlet box
screws provided with the box, aligning
the holes of the mounting bracket with
the holes of the outlet box. Reinstall the 2
outlet box screws securely.
Partially loosen downrod set screws from
yoke at top of motor assembly.
Remove preassembled cross pin and
keeper pin from downrod.
Place downrod over canopy, canopy
bottom disc and yoke cover. Thread lead
wires and safety cable from motor
assembly through downrod.
Slip downrod into motor housing yoke,
aligning holes and install cross pin and
keeper pin.
Insert cross pin through yoke and downrod
until point appears on the other side, and
insert keeper pin on cross pin.
Pull the downrod up tight against the
cross pin, and then evenly tighten the
downrod set screws on motor housing
yoke.
Place yoke cover on top housing of fan.
Warning: Cross pin and keeper pin must
be installed securely, failure to install them
will result in serious injury.

not steeper than 30º.
For Canadian installation and for USA fan
and light kit combinations over 35 lbs, in
both flush and downrod modes the safety
cable must be installed into the house
structure beams using 3” lag screws,
washers and lock washers provided.
Make sure that when the safety cable is
fully extended the lead wires are longer
than the cable and no stress is placed on
the lead wires.

grounded wires to Grounded wire from
House. Make sure that no filaments are
outside of the wire connectors.
After making the wire connections, the wires
should be spread apart with the grounded
conductor and the equipment-grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box and
ungrounded conductor on the other side of
the outlet box. The splices after being made

Warning
means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION
either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4.If this fan uses remote controller, make sure dip switches are setting properly and make
1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION
4.Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.
5.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
6.Allow "break-in" periodof 24 hours. Most noisesassociated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1.If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the
notch in the downrod ball.
2.Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to
4.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance
from blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade
is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal,
you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert
a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the
motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade
holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if
blades mount from top of blade.
6.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamic balance
your fan with balancing kit provided.
1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4.Check for faulty light bulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5.Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6.If this fan uses remote controller, make sure dip switches are setting properly and make
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or
