Progress Lighting fan motors are warranted to the original purchaser to be free of electrical and/or mechanical defects for so
long as the original purchaser owns the fan. Pull chain switches, reverse switches, capacitors and metal finishes are warranted to
be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase. Warping of wooden or plastic
blades is not covered by this warranty nor is corrosion and/or deterioration of any finishes for fans installed within ten miles of

Progress Lighting ceiling fans with built-in LED light sources, when properly installed and under normal conditions of use, are
warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the light sources to fail to operate in accordance
with the specifications for (i) five (5) years from the date of purchase on the LED Light modules and electrical components for
fans used in single family residences, and (ii) three (3) years from the date of purchase on the LED Light modules and electrical
components for fans used in multi-family or commercial applications. LED bulbs supplied by Progress Lighting carry no
warranty other than manufacturer’s warranty. Non-LED bulbs carry no warranty.
With proof of purchase, the original purchaser may return the defective fan to the place of purchase during the first 30 days for
replacement. After 30 days, the original purchaser MUST contact Progress Lighting at [phone] for repair or replacement
which shall be determined in Progress Lighting’s sole discretion and shall be purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy.
Labor and Shipping Excluded. This warranty does not cover any costs or fees associated with the labor (including, but not
limited to, electrician’s fees) required to install, remove, or replace a fan or any fan parts.
This warranty shall not apply to any loss or damage resulting from (i) normal wear and tear or alteration, misuse, abuse or
neglect, or (ii) improper installation, operation, repair or maintenance by original purchaser or a third party, including without
limitation improper voltage supply or power surge, use of improper parts or accessories, unauthorized repair (made or

1. Safety Rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a
qualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use
this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
4. 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. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the
installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly
recommended.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR
FAN SUPPORT.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less.
Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft (2.1m) clearance from
the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
7. To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reversing button while
the fan is running.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed
with the fan must be UL Listed and marked suitable for use with the
model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL General Use
Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow
the steps below to hang your fan properly:
Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover from the canopy by turning the cover
counter clockwise.(Fig. 5)
Step 2. Remove the mounting bracket from
the canopy by removing the 1 of 2 screws
from the bottom of the mounting bracket and
loosening the other one a half turn from the
screw head. Next, turn the canopy counter
clockwise to removing the mounting bracket
from the canopy. (Fig. 5)
Step 3. Pass the 120-volt supply wires
through the center hole in the ceiling hanger
bracket as shown in Fig. 6.
Step 4. Secure the hanger bracket to the
ceiling outlet box with the screws and
washers provided with your outlet box.
Step 5. Remove the hanger pin, lock pin and
set screws from the top of the motor
assembly.
Step 6. Route wires exiting from the top of
the fan motor through the collar cover,
canopy cover, canopy and then through the
ball / downrod. (Fig. 7)
Step 7. Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod
with the holes in the collar on top of the motor
housing (Fig. 7). Carefully insert the hanger pin
through the holes in the collar and downrod. Be
careful not to jam the pin against the wiring inside the
downrod. Insert the locking pin through the hole near
the end of the hanger pin until it snaps into its locked
position, as noted in the circle inset of Fig. 7.
Step 8. Tighten two set screws on top of the fan
motor firmly. (Figure 7)
Step 9. Place the downrod ball into the hanger
bracket socket.
