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 70-2014” and Local
Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if

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 22.7kg. (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.

ETL Model No.: CF921
This Manual Is Designed to Make it as Easy as Possible for You to Assemble,
Install, Operate and Maintain Your Ceiling Fan
2. 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (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.
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.
WARNING
!
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.
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 Electric Fan/Light Remote Control
supplied with the fan.

1. 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 4.
2. Separate, untwist and unkink the two 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 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
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 2).
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as
described above, or fan wobble could result.
NOTE: If LKU100 is being assembled, see Page 12,
“Optional Accent Light Kit Installation” of
instruction procedures.
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.

3. Ceiling Fan Assembly (continued)
3. Make sure the grommet is properly installed in the
coupling cover, then slide the coupling cover on the
downrod until it rests on the motor housing. Place the
ceiling cover over the downrod. Be sure that the
ceiling cover and the coupling cover are both
oriented correctly (Figure 3).
4. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 3) on the downrod
as follows. Route the two 80” motor leads through the
hanger ball. Position the pin through the two holes in
the downrod and align the hanger 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.
5. The fan comes with black and white leads that are
80” long. Before installing fan, 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.
6. Carefully turn the partially assembled ceiling fan over
and set it on the shipping styrofoam for blade
installation.
7. Remove the shipping spacers and the spacer
attachment screws from the motor before installation
of blade assemblies. Discard the spacers and spacer
screws (Figure 4).
8. Mount blade flanges to fan blades (sold separately)
using four #10-24 x 12mm washer head blade
screws and four 16mm flat washers (Figure 5).
NOTE: Some accessory blades available are
supplied with shorter screws. These shorter screws
MUST be used to assemble the blades to flanges.
NOTE: Take care not to scratch fan housing when
installing blades.
NOTE: Remove and discard the four shipping
spacers and screws from the motor hub.
9. Loosely attach one blade assembly to the motor hub
using the two 1/4-20 x 14 captive screws with
lockwashers. Make sure the screws are NOT
tightened. (Figure 6.) Repeat this procedure for other
four blade assemblies.
