WARNING

!

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 satisfy National 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 and capable of reliably supporting at 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.

6. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do
not know enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.

Electrical Requirements

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.

If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.

WARNING

!

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.

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.

NOTE: Place the parts from the loose parts bags
in small containers to keep them from being lost.
If any parts are missing, contact your local
retailer or catalog outlet for replacement before
proceeding.

NOTE: Fan blades are ordered separately and are
packaged in a separate carton.

WARNING

!

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

!

To avoid 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.

How To Put Your

Ceiling Fan Together

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

2. Separate, untwist and unkink the four motor leads.

3. 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 6.

PIN

WARNING

!

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.

6. Install the setscrew (supplied in loose parts bag) in

the motor coupling and tighten using the 5/32"
setscrew wrench (supplied) (Figure 3).

4. Route the white, blue, and black motor leads
through the downrod. Fold the yellow wire into the
slot in the motor coupling, slide the downrod down
the wires and seat the downrod in the motor
coupling (Figure 2).

5. 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. Pull on the
hanger ball to make sure the clevis pin is properly
installed.

stud extending above the motor. Slide the motor
cover over the downrod and rotate the cover until
the threaded studs protrude; install two knurled
knobs (supplied) to secure the cover.

NOTE: Make sure the red and brown leads are
capped with wire connectors. Make sure the red,
brown, and yellow wires and wire connectors are
completely inside motor coupling cover and not
pinched between the motor coupling cover and

opening at the top (Figure 5).

9. 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 5). 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.
