Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: To avoid fire, shock and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.
1. Read your owner’s manual and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
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 insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.
Additional Safety Instructions
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 and installation procedures must satisfy National Electrical Codes (ANSI/ NFPA 70-1999). 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 fan base must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 100 lbs. (fan and accessories not to exceed 35
lbs. or 16 kgs.). Outlet boxes are not acceptable for fan support. See page 5 of owner’s manual for support requirements. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, mount the fan base to a ceiling joist or structural member using the hardware
provided with your fan.
WARNING: Support Directly from Building Structure.
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 have adequate electrical
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by licensed electrician.
7. Suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, THIS FAN MUST BE INSTALLED WITH AN ISOLATING WALL CONTROL/SWITCH.
WARNING: This product is designed to use only those parts supplied with this product and/or accessories designated specifically for

damage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade bracket (flange or blade holder) when installing the brackets,
balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
INSTALLATION NOTE
It is recommended that each fan and the motor have ¾˝
plywood backing secured to a structural member for
adequate support (Figure 1). A 120 VAC electrical feed,
centered under the motor unit and wired to a standard
wall switch (user supplied) is required. The motor unit
will not operate more than 6 fan assemblies.
If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light fixture.
▲
WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficent. 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. Follow all wiring
instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described
in these instructions should be done or approved by a
licensed electrician.

How to Hang and Wire Your Ceiling Fan
INSTALLATION NOTE
It is recommended that each fan and the motor have ¾˝
plywood backing secured to a structural member for
adequate support (Figure 1). A 120 VAC electrical feed,
centered under the motor unit and wired to a standard
wall switch (user supplied) is required. The motor unit
will not operate more than 6 fan assemblies or idlers.
▲
WARNING
Do not install or use fan if any part is damaged or
missing. This product is designed to use only those
parts supplied with this product and/or any accessories
designated specifically for use with this product by
Fanimation. Substitution of parts or accessories not
designated for use with this product by Fanimation could
result in personal injury or property damage. Contact
your retail store for missing or damaged parts.
INSTALLATION NOTE
HEAVY! Two or three people are required to hang the
motor and fan / pulley assemblies.
Mounting Motor Unit:
1. Mark mounting hole positions for the motor unit onto
the ceiling or supporting member.
2. Drill
member to prevent splitting or cracking. While supporting
the Motor Assembly, screw the lag bolts (¼˝ x 2˝)
approximately “half-way” in. This will allow enough space
between the ceiling panel and motor base to properly
wire your motor.

3. Connect the green grounding lead from the fan motor
to the supply grounding conductor (this may be a bare
wire or wire with green colored insulation). Securely
connect wires with wire connectors supplied. (Figure 4)
NOTE: Motor assembly must be perpendicular to the
direction of belting running from the motor to the first fan.
Drive belt must wrap around both motor pulleys. Be sure
to position the fan pulley so that the belt won’t rub against
the support legs. (Figure 3) Be sure of your belt-layout
plans before installing both the motor and fan assemblies.
INSTALLATION NOTE
The fan must be hung with at least 7’ of clearance
from floor to blade. The maximum overall distance
between motor & pulley is 16´ and the minimum is 6´.
The maximum overall distance between two fan/pulley
assemblies is 16´ and the minimum is 6´. (Figure 2)
CAUTION
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely
installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may result
in damage to the fan blades.
