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 Codes “ANSI/NFPA 70-2008” 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 of 50 lbs or less”, 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.

How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together

Electrical Requirements

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.

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 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.

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

!

WARNING

!

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked
“Acceptable for Fan Support of 50 lbs or less”, 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.

4. The blade flanges have an interlocking feature that

must be fully engaged before tightening the screw.
Make sure all the flanges are properly engaged
and then tighten the flange screws. If one of the
flanges does not seat properly on the motor hub,
loosen the adjacent flange screws, re-engage and
reseat the flanges, then tighten the screws again.

Figure 3

5. Remove and retain the three switch housing

mounting screws (Figure 4) from the switch
housing plate. Engage the connector of the switch
housing assembly with the motor connector
(Figure 4). The two connectors are keyed and
color-coded and must be mated correctly (color-to­color) before they can be engaged. Make sure the
connector latch closes properly.

8. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew

in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod (Figure 6). Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 9.

9. Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor

leads. Route the motor lead wires through the
downrod. Remove the upper setscrew from 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 7). 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 downrod to make sure
the clevis pin is properly installed. Reinstall the
upper setscrew in the motor coupling. Check that
the lower setscrew is tightened securely (Figure 7).

Figure 5

To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires
between the switch cup assembly and the switch
cup plate.

WARNING

!

Figure 6

6. Position the switch housing assembly on the

switch housing plate and align the holes in the
switch housing assembly with the holes in the
plate. Secure the switch housing assembly by
installing the three M4 x 12mm flat head screws
(supplied) (Figure 5).

7. Carefully turn partially assembled fan upside down

and place in styrofoam form carton, in preparation
for final installation.
