bottom dome with the opposite hand. With bottom dome
removed, place fan body on either piece of packing foam,
with wire bundle facing down and bottom of fan facing up.
(3) Carefully insert blades into rotor slots, and using screws
from hardware package, secure blades to rotor. The
counter sink screws (“blade center screws”) are for the single
blade hole outside the rotor and the pan head screws
(“blade holder screws”) are for the two holes inside the rotor
area for each blade.

wires from fan. Note: Skip this step if 2-pin
connector is already present.
(c) Route 2-pin end of connector out of center
hole on switch housing and carefully reinstall
switch housing with screws from step (a). Be
sure that all wires are inside the outer edges
of the switch housing. Note:Skip this step if 2-

(5) Using the existing screws from your junction box, or the
machine screws from the hardware package, secure the
hanging bracket to the ceiling junction box.

(11) Lift fan to ceiling and set half ball in the hanging
bracket so that the ridge on the edge of the hanging
bracket is seated in the slotted channel in the half ball.
With fan safely suspended by bracket, make wire connections with wire nuts included
in hardware package as described in the control installation instructions. If using the
optional #003, #004 or #005 control, the receiving unit should be placed inside the
arms of the hanging bracket and connected now.

bracket. Lift canopy to ceiling. With slots on side of canopy
aligned with set screw holes on hanging bracket, reinstall
and tighten set screws to hold canopy in place.
(13) Your fan is reversible for summer and winter operation.
The reverse switch is located just inside the labeled opening
on the upper motor housing. The LEFT position is for
summer and the RIGHT position is for winter. Because the
switch is recessed, it will be necessary to use the end of a
pencil or screwdriver to carefully move the switch.
(14) Reinstall bottom dome or glass diffuser if your fan has
a light kit. Rotate in the clockwise direction until dome or
diffuser comes to a stop.
(16) The rotor and motor of your fan have been dynamically balanced at the factory.
In addition, the blades have been matched to the nearest gram to ensure a well
balanced ceiling fan. Furthermore, a blade balancing kit has been included with your
fan. Please refer to the instructions packaged with the balancing kit should your fan
require additional balancing.
(15) Install wall control as described in the control installation instructions (unless you
are using a handheld remote control only).
