READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation of your new
Concord
®
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 electrical 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 minimum moving weight of 50 pounds and
marked “Acceptable for Fan Support” (Plastic outlet boxes are not recom-
mended 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
Concord®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.

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.
Look for Me!
I have safety Tips and
Ideas for installation
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. CA
UTION: 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.

Have you TURNED OFF
the Electricity?
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 installation of the ceiling canopy later (see
figure 1).
Install the mounting bracket on the electrical
junction box in the ceiling using two machine
screws, two washers and two lock washers (see
figure 1).
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 (see figure 1).
NO MOVEMENT SHOULD OCCUR
BETWEEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET
AND THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX.
Step 1 Attach the mounting bracket
Pull the electric wires in the junction box down
through the mounting bracket and then bend
them up and back out of the way. This will
leave the mounting bracket open and ready to
receive the ceiling fan (see figure 2).
If you are using an extended support rod, (longer
than the one supplied with your fan) remove the
half ball from the small support rod that came
with the fan and put it on the extended support
rod. Make sure to retighten the set screw and
insert the safety screw.
