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 70-2011” 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.

and capable of reliably supporting at least 50 pounds.
Use only U.L. outlet boxes listed as “Acceptable for

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.

How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together

2. Remove the three switch cup screws from the

switch housing plate. 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 screws (Figure 2).

3. Pass the 42” motor leads through the opening in

the ceiling cover. Be sure the cover is oriented
correctly.

4. Separate, untwist and unkink the three motor

leads. Route the motor leads through the hanger
ball/downrod assembly.

5. Loosen the two setscrews 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 3). 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.

6. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely

tighten the two setscrews in the motor coupling
(Figure 3).

NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed
as described above, or fan wobble could result.

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

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 setscrew
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.

WARNING

!

7. The fan comes with blue, black and white leads

that are 42” 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.

NOTE: If your switch housing assembly is already
attached to the switch housing plate, proceed to
Step 3.

1. Engage the connector of the switch housing

assembly with the motor connector (Figure 1). The
two connectors are keyed and color-coded and
must be mated correctly (color-to-color) before they
can be engaged. Make sure the connector latch
closes properly.
