Electrical and Structural 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 lbs. Figure 1 depicts
different structural configurations that may be used for
mounting the outlet box.
▲
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable
for fan support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs) or less. 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.

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.
How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan
1. Prior to assembly, set aside and save the hardware
bag(s) packed in the packing.
2. 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 6.

How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan (cont’d)
NOTE: You will be using either the 6˝ downrod supplied with
your fan or an optional downrod purchased seperately.
4. Loosen the two setscrews in the Downrod Support. Align
the Clevis Pin holes in the Downrod with the holes in the
Downrod Support. Install the Clevis Pin and secure with
the Hairpin Clip. (Figure 3) 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.
5. Route wires and support cable through Motor Coupling
Cover and through opening in Canopy. Position Canopy
on fan shown with open side facing up. (Figure 2)
6. Reinstall the Hanger Ball (Figure 3) on the Downrod
as follows. Route the three 80˝ wires 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. Securely tighten the setscrew
in the Hanger Ball. A loose setscrew could create fan
wobble.

WARNING
It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support
is properly installed and the setscrews are securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
7. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the
two 3/16-24 x 13mm setscrews in the downrod support.
(Figure 3)
NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as
described above, or fan-wobble could result.
9. Slide the Motor Coupling Cover down until it touches
the top of the Housing.
9. The fan comes with blue, black, and white leads. Before
installing fan, measure up approximately 6-9 inches above
top of Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly. Cut off excess wire
and strip back insulation ½˝ from end of wire.
10. You have now completed the upper assembly of your
new ceiling fan. You can now proceed with the hanging
and the electrical wiring of your fan.
