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. The installation is to 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 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 provides 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 the
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.
NOTE: This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.

IMPORTANT
Your ceiling fan is designed to be installed
either in the standard manner, or in the
close-to-the-ceiling manner. Using the
standard method, the hanger ball/downrod
assembly will suspend the fan several inches
below the ceiling cover. Using the
close-to-the-ceiling method, the ceiling cover
installs directly on the fan motor housing,
thus mounting the fan 3-1/2 inches closer to
the ceiling than the standard method. In no
case should the fan blades be lower than
seven feet above the floor. Depending on
your desired mounting method, proceed to
“INSTALLING HANGER BALL/DOWNROD
ASSEMBLY” for standard mounting, or to
“INSTALLING CEILING COVER ON FAN
MOTOR HOUSING” for close-to-the-ceiling
mounting.
Removal Of The
Hanger Bracket
Installing The Hanger
Ball/Downrod Assembly
(For Standard Mounting)
1. Pass the 42" motor leads through the opening in
the ceiling cover. Be sure the cover is oriented
correctly.
2. Separate, untwist and unkink the three motor
leads. Route the motor leads through the hanger
ball/downrod assembly.
3. Loosen the two setscrews in the motor coupling.
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. Be sure to
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.
1. Loosen the two screws in the keyholes slots of the
ceiling cover. Remove and retain the other two
screws and lockwashers (Figure 1).
2. Turn the ceiling cover and remove the hanger
bracket.

WARNING
!
It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupling
is properly installed and the setscrews securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
4. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely
tighten the two setscrews in the motor coupling
(Figure 2).
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed
as described above, or fan wobble could result.
5.The fan comes with blue, black and white leads that
are 42” long. Measure up approximately
6 to 9-inches above top of hanger ball/downrod
assembly. Cut off excess leads and strip back
insulation 1/2-inch from end of leads.
