WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.

Safety Instructions

1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.

3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan. Always turn off
the power to the ceiling fan before servicing.

4. Do not put anything into the fan blades while they are turning.

5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.

Additional Safety Instructions for Installation

1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not
operate fan without blades.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code “ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and
Local Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling
fan must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation
should be made or approved by a licensed electrician.

3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted an capable of reliably supporting a least 50
pounds. Use only U.L. outlet boxes listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support”, and use the mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light
fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.

4. The downrod furnished with the fan proves the minimum recommended floor-to-fan blade
clearance for an 8 foot ceiling.

5. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental
contact with th fan blades.

1. Position the fan motor and housing assembly in the
lower styrofoam packing so that the top for the
motor is facing you.

2. Obtain the hanger ball/downrod assembly and
remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew
in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod (Figure 1). Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 11.

3. Using a wire connector (supplied), connect the
yellow uplight lead (supplied) to the yellow wire
from the motor (Figure 2).

4. Separate, untwist and unkink the three black, white
and blue motor wires and the yellow uplight lead.
Route these wires through the downrod.

5. Fold the wires from the downrod into the slot in the
motor coupling. Then slide the downrod down the
wires and seat the downrod in the motor coupling
(Figure 2).

Figure 1

If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time
and remove the existing light fixture.

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with national and local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.

WARNING

!

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

The outlet box must be securely anchored and
capable of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable
for Fan Support”, and use screws supplied with
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for
support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.

Procedures

To avoid possible fire or shock, follow all wiring
instructions carefully. Any electrical work not
described in these instructions should be done or
approved by a licensed electrician.

IMPORTANT: Your ceiling fan is supplied with an
SW116 Fan/Light Wall Control (transmitter) and a
remote control SW105 Receiver which mounts
under the ceiling cover. This system allows you to
regulate your ceiling fan speed, airflow direction,
and light intensity. An optional Emerson Electric
SR110 Remote Control may also be used.

IMPORTANT: Your ceiling fan will not function
properly and may be damaged, if used with any
wall dimmer switch or control other than the
Emerson controls listed above.

Preliminary Procedures

IMPORTANT: Before assembling your ceiling fan,
refer to sections “Setting Operating Frequency of
Wall Control and Receiver” and “Battery
Installation of Wall Control”, page 11. These
sections instruct you how to:

a. Set the operating frequency of the fan/light wall

control and the remote control receiver.
b. Install the fan/light wall control in the wall box.
You will then be ready to proceed with the

assembly and installation of your ceiling fan.

6. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the motor coupling. Install the clevis pin
and secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 2). The
clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor
coupling and the holes in the downrod. Push the
straight leg of the hairpin clip through the hole near
the end of the clevis pin until the curved portion of
the hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin. The
hairpin clip must be properly installed to prevent
the clevis pin from working loose.

7. Install the setscrew (supplied) in the motor coupling
and tighten using the 5/32” setscrew wrench
(supplied) (Figure 2).

8. Screw two 1-1/4” threaded studs (supplied) into the
motor (Figure 3). Leave approximately 7/8” of the
stud extending above the motor. Coil the wires and
wire connectors around the motor coupling, then
slide the coupling cover over the downrod and
rotate the cover until the threaded studs protrude.
Install two lockwashers (supplied) and knurled
knobs (supplied) to secure the cover to the motor.
All wires and wire connectors must be enclosed
under the coupling cover.

NOTE: Lightly snug the knurled knobs and make
sure the wires and wire connectors are completely
inside the coupling cover and not pinched between
the coupling cover and the motor.

Figure 2

It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupling
is properly installed and the setscrew securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.

WARNING

!

9. Position the ceiling cover over the downrod. Be
sure the cover is oriented correctly, with the large
opening at the top (Figure 4).

10. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod

as follows. Route the motor leads through the
hanger ball and slide the hanger ball over the
downrod (Figure 4). Install the pin through the
holes at the top of the downrod and slide the
hanger ball up the downrod, aligning the ball so the
pin is captured in the groove in the top of the
hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the
pin and securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger
ball. A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.

11. The blue, black, white, and yellow leads exiting

the downrod are 80-inches long. Before installing
the fan, measure up approximately 6 to 9-inches
above the ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess
leads and strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end
of leads.

Figure 4

It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball is properly
installed and the setscrew securely tightened.
Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are
properly installed could result in the fan falling.
