CEILING FANS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
MODEL SERIES
LTG-CF5002

Before beginning installation of your new ceiling fan, read and follow these safety precautions. If
you are not familiar with national and local electrical codes and basic electrical wiring procedures,
we recommend that you have a qualified electrician install your new ceiling fan.
Before you begin, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY. Determine which circuit your new fan
will be using and remove the fuse or turn off the circuit breaker at the main electrical
panel.
Make sure that all wiring conforms to national and local electrical codes. If you are in
question, obtain a copy of the codes and wire the fan accordingly. Never leave bare
wires uncovered (wire connection), use wire nuts to cap all connections. Plastic electri-
cal tape is not recommended.
When working with electricity, never take short cuts. Follow the code in every respect.
Basic requirements for a ceiling fan installed with lights are, 120 volts AC - 60Hz, on a
grounded circuit with a 15 amp breaker or fuse. Make sure that your electrical system
and choice of location meet these requirements.
If the location where you plan to install your fan does not already have an electrical
outlet, hire a licensed electrician to run the wiring and install an outlet box designed
for ceiling fans or heavy fixtures. The outlet box should be able to support a mini-
mum moving weight of 50 pounds and marked “Acceptable for Fan Support” (Plastic
outlet boxes are not recommended for ceiling fan installation).
If you plan to use an existing electrical location, check to make sure that the outlet box
is not PLASTIC, that it is securely attached and able to support at least 50 pounds of
moving weight and marked “Acceptable for Fan Support”. If you have any questions,
outlet boxes and support systems for ceiling fans are available at most hardware and
do-it-yourself centers. In most cases, your dealer will have all the necessary products
for the proper and safe installation of your ceiling fan.
The location you choose should have a minimum clearance of 20 inches from any wall
to the blade tip at any point in its rotation and a minimum of 7 feet from blade level to
floor and 10 inches from the blades.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2
This ceiling fan was not designed for installation in any location where it might be exposed to
moisture or high humidity. Installation in this type of location could be UNSAFE, will most
likely damage the fan and its finish... and will VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Every effort has been made to provide you with proper instructions for the safe installation of
this ceiling fan. You could however, encounter situations or problems not covered in this
manual. Should this occur, please refer to a do-it-yourself wiring handbook or hire a qualified
electrician to install your fan.
Never attach the blades to your ceiling fan before the fan body is properly mounted on the
ceiling.
Lubrication of your new ceiling fan is not necessary. The ball bearings have been adequately
charged with grease and permanently sealed at the factory so that, under normal conditions,
further attention is not necessary.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount this fan to
an outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support” and use the Mounting
Screws provided with the outlet box. CAUTION: Install the primary mounting
means and use only the hardware provided with the fan.
To reduce the risk of personal injury take care not to bend the blade carriers.
Be careful not to insert foreign objects into rotating fan blades.
The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not
meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood that common sense, caution and careful attention to detail are
factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied
by the person or persons installing, caring for, and operating the unit.

Ideas for installation
These instructions are designed for a number of similar but different ceiling fans. As you
proceed, some steps may or may not apply to the fan you purchased. Compare each
step or optional procedure to your fan and proceed accordingly.

WARNING

Unpack and inspect fan carefully to be
certain all contents are included. Turn
off power at fuse box to avoid possible
electrical shock.
3
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan
support (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).

TOOLS NEEDED3.

Install the mounting bracket onto the
electrical junction box in the ceiling
using two machine screws, two wash-
ers and two lock washers.
4
The mounting bracket has slotted
holes to enable it to move sideways
for proper alignment. Make sure the
mounting bracket is centered over the
electrical junction box and that it is
securely attached. Pull the electrical
wires in the junction box down and
through the mounting bracket. Loosen
the two canopy mounting screws on
the downside face of the mounting
bracket. Back them out about half
way. This will allow for easier installa-
tion of the ceiling canopy later.
Note: Angle mount best suited for
angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer
downrod is sometimes necessary to
ensure proper blade clearance.
Ensure the ceiling angle is not
steeper than 16 degrees. Hanger
opening must be facing up-side.

Loosen set screws in downrod coupling. Insert down rod through the canopy
and coupling cover (4) as shown above. Insert motor wires through the down
rod and insert the down rod into the down rod coupling. Make sure to align the
hole in the downrod with the hole in the downrod coupling. Install cross pin (1)
removed in step 6 through coupling and downrod. Insert keeper pin (2) into
cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (3) in coupling. Slide
coupling cover (4) and canopy onto the downrod above the coupling cover.

Notice the half ball on the end of
the support rod is grooved down
one side. This Keyway fits over the
small keyway pin on the inside of
the mounting bracket and keeps
the ceiling fan from spinning on the
mounting bracket.

Using your step ladder, lift the fan
and place the half ball in the center
of the mounting bracket with the
keyway pin inserted into the
keyway on the ball. Turn the fan
left and right slightly to make sure
it is seated on the bracket with the
keyway pin in the keyway.

Always ensure that fan is set to "OFF"
and blades are still prior to changing
direction of blades. Reverse switch on
fan should ideally be set on"FOR-
WARD"(left position) during warmer
seasons to move blades in an anticiock-
wise direction & "RVERSE"(right posi-
tion) during our coaler seasons to make
the fan rotate in a clockwise direction.

1. Fan will not start:
Make sure all motor housing screws are sung.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are
tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touchingany other component.
2. Fan sounds noisy:
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
Most fan wobbling problems are caused by blade levels unequal. Check this
level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades.
Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. This distance deviation should be
equal within 1/8".
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent ( side by
side) blades can reditribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
