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.

Install, Operate and Maintain Your Ceiling Fan

Tools Needed for Assembly

One Phillips head screwdriver One stepladder One 1/4” blade screwdriver One wire stripper

Materials

Wiring outlet box and box connectors must be of type required by the local code. The minimum wire would be a 3-conductor (2-wire with ground) of following size:

Installed Wire Length

U.L. Model No.: CF4900

2. Electrical Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

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

The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.

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.

Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod (Figure 4).

Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 3.10.

Figure 5

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.

WARNING

3.5

Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor leads. Route the motor lead wires through the downrod.

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 5).

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.

Figure 6

3.6

Insert the setscrew (supplied in loose parts bag) into the motor coupler hole until it rest against the downrod.

Securely tighten the setscrew using the 5/32" setscrew wrench (provided).

Pull up on the downrod to make sure the setscrew is firmly installed against the motor coupler (Figure 6).

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

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

Slide the motor coupler cover over the downrod and rotate the cover until the threaded studs protrude (Figure 8).

Install the two #8 external tooth lockwashers and #8-32 knurled knobs (supplied) to secure the motor coupler cover (Figure 8).

Figure 7

3.7

Screw two #8-32 x 1-1/4” threaded studs (provided) into the motor (Figure 7).

Leave approximately 7/8” of the stud extending above the motor.

3.9

Pass the 80-inch long motor leads through the opening in the ceiling cover. Be sure the cover is oriented correctly (Figure 9).

3.10

Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 9) on the downrod as follows. Route the motor leads through the downrod. Position the pin through the two holes in the downrod and align 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.

3.11

The fan comes with blue, black and white leads that are 80-inches long. Before installing the 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.

It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball 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.
