PREPARATION
1. Turn o power.
Turn o the power to the fan at the breaker
box and the wall switch.
Failure to disconnect the power supply
prior to installation may result in serious
injury or death.
See page 17 for complete description of
cautions and warnings.
Downrod Mounting
Flushmount Closemount
Angle Mounting
2. Choose mounting option.
Standard Mounting is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For very high ceilings,
use a longer downrod (not included).
Angle Mounting is 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 10 degrees. For steeper
ceiling angles, an angled ceiling adapter is
necessary.
3. Choose suitable location.
Ensure the blades will be at least 30 inches
from any obstructions. Also check the
downrod length to ensure the blades will be
at least 7 feet above the oor.
Flushmount installation is not available for
this item.
Closemount installation is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. or lower.

2. Install the mounting bracket.
Install the mounting bracket to the outlet
box (sold separately) using the screws and
washers provided with the outlet box.
Note: To avoid fan wobble, ensure the
mounting bracket is securely tightened
to the “Ceiling Fan Rated” outlet box and
the outlet box is securely tightened to the
building structure.
3. Remove the motor blocks.
Remove the motor screws and motor blocks
from the underside of the motor. Keep the
motor screws for later, but discard the motor
blocks.

4. Trim fan wires.
Depending on the length of downrod you
use, you may want to cut the fan wires to
simplify wiring. After pulling the wires all the
way through the downrod, measure 8 inches
of wire. Cut o the excess wire using wire
cutters (not included).
5. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation.
Strip 1/2”of insulation from the ends of each
wire. Twist the stripped ends of each strand
of wire within the insulation.
Note: If you didn’t trim the wires in Step 4,
this step is not necessary.

6. Hang downrod in mounting
bracket.
Install the ball end of the downrod into the
opening of the mounting bracket. Align the
slot in the ball with the tab on the mounting
bracket. The downrod should not rotate if
installed correctly.
Failure to align the slot in the ball with the
tab on the mounting bracket may cause
the fan to fall, which could result in injury
or death.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning o the circuit breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualied electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the oor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any
obstruction.
DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan.
Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do NOT
use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting xtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to
be replaced. Consult a qualied electrician if in doubt. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire
and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an
electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan.
Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan assembly ensure they are secured.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly and tighten all screws on the fan. Clean the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth
to avoid scratching the nish. Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth.
Important: Shut o the main power supply before you begin any maintenance task. Do NOT use water or a damp cloth to clean the fan.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
The fan does not move.
The fan is noisy.
The fan wobbles
excessively.
The fan operates correctly
but the lights are not
working.
1. Firmly push the reverse switch completely up or down.
2. Make sure the wall switch is turned on.
3. Ensure poewr is on at wall switch and breaker box
4. Turn the power o and check all wire connections at the ceiling outlet box.

5. Ensure the mounting bracket is securely mounted to the outlet box.
1. Tighten all screws that hold the fan blades to the blade arms and blade arms to motor.
2. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade balancing kit.
3. Turn o power. Loosen the canopy and verify that the mounting bracket is secure to the electrical outlet box. The
mounting bracket must be ush without movement against the outlet box.
4. Use a longer downrod or move the fan to another location if the fan is too close to the ceiling.
5. Ensure the mounting bracket is securely mounted to the outlet box.
6. Tighten the set screws in the yoke.
1. Install new bulbs.
