SAFETY TIPS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit
panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN
AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp
edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code,
and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are
different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at
least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should
be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or
other upright structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at
least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure.
Use only UL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs.) or less," and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet
box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical 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 or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires,
consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
5. 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 and switches for proper assembly.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. 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 opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire and to prevent humming noise do not use this fan with any
solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer
switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.] (Note: This fan is suitable for use with
remote control.)
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: 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.
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.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are
necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

blade edge
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 7ft. (2.13m) from the floor and 30in.
(76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 225
square feet (20.9 square meters).
This fan can be mounted with a downrod
on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The
hanging length can be extended by purchasing
a longer downrod (0.5 inch/1.27cm diameter).
After installing hanging bracket, continue to
Section 5 on page 4 for those instructions. Fan can
be mounted using flushmount installation only
on a regular (no-slope) ceiling. After installing
hanging bracket, continue to Section 6 on page 5
for those instructions.
Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver,
adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters,
and rated electrical tape.

4. Hanging Bracket Installation.
Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from
breaker panel and be sure operating light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior
to installation may result in serious injury.
Remove existing fixture.
WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be
sure the outlet box is securely attached to the
building structure and can support the full weight of
the fan. Ensure outlet box is clearly marked "Suitable
for Fan Support." If not, it must be replaced with an
approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is grounded properly
and that a ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original
screws, spring washers and flat washers provided
with new or original outlet box.* If installing on a
vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket
towards high point of ceiling. Arrange electrical
wiring around the back of the hanging bracket
and away from the hanging bracket opening.

5. Fan Assembly (with downrod).
If you wish to extend the hanging length of
your fan, you must remove the hanging ball
from the 6in. downrod provided to use with an
extended downrod (sold separately). [If you wish
to use the 6in. downrod, please proceed to
instructions following the dotted line below.]
To remove hanging ball, loosen set screw on
hanging ball, lower hanging ball and remove
stop pin. Slide hanging ball off the original
downrod, A, and slide it down the longer
downrod, B (the top of the downrod should be
noted as having a set screw hole; use this hole
when setting the set screw). Insert stop pin into
top of extended downrod and raise hanging
ball. Be sure stop pin aligns with slots on the
inside of the hanging ball. Tighten set screw
securely.
Tip: To prepare for threading electrical wires
through downrod, apply a small piece of
electrical tape to the ends of the electrical
wires--this will keep the wires together when
threading them through the downrod.
Loosen yoke set screws and nuts in motor
housing yoke and remove pin and clip from
motor housing yoke. Slide downrod through
canopy and yoke cover.

Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to help lift the fan up to you
once you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist
highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be
necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and
lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If
necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable.
The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit
over the threads on the wood screw. Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
Continue to "Wiring" section for wiring diagram.
