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.
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) and Local Codes. 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 50 lbs. (fan and accessories not to
exceed 50 lbs. or 22.73 kgs.). See page 5 of owner’s manual for support requirements. Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
4. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
5. 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.

Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient
product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the
middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor
and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install the fan 8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal
airflow. Consult your Fanimation Retailer for optional
mounting accessories.
Turn Off When Not in the Room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is
unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round
Summer Season: Use the ceiling fan in the
counterclockwise direction. The airflow produced by
the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you
“feel” cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a
comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less
energy.
Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operate the
ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air
near the ceiling down into the occupied space.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your
ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings
could be realized with this simple step!
Electrical and Structural Requirements
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.
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.
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.
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
!
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support.
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.

How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan
1. Remove the hanger ball portion from the
downrod/hangerball assembly by loosening the set
screw in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely
down the downrod. Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 5
(Figure 1).

4. Position downrod support and align the clevis pin
holes in both parts. Install the clevis pin and secure
with the hairpin clip. Tighten the two set screws
and locking nuts in the downrod support (Figure 4).
5. Route wires through motor coupling cover, canopy
screw cover and canopy (Figure 5).
6. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod as
follows.Route the three 80-inch 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 set screw in the hanger ball.
A loose set screw could create fan wobble
(Figure 6).

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
Figure 7
NOTE:
All set screws must be checked, and retightened
where necessary, before installation.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advise, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7’ of clearance
from ƀoor to blades. (Figure 2)
WARNING
To avoid possible ſre or shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at th e main fuse box before hanging.
(Figure 1)
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box
using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with
the outlet box. (Figure 2)
2. Drill a ¼” pilot hole into the building structure to
prevent splitting or cracking with installation of the lag
bolt. Using the
” x 2” lag bolt and flat washer, attach
safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.
The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety
cable loop, and into the building structure. (Figure 3)
NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to
junction box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling
joist or structural member using the
” x 2” lag bolt
CPFƀCVYCUJGT(KIWTG
3. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including
the hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable
are pulled through the downrod, between the hanger
bracket and the junction box so that electrical
connections can be made later.

4. Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball
assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to
the outlet box. Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up
with tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 4)
WARNING
Failure to sea t tab in groove cou ld cause dama ge to
electrical wires and possible shock or ſre hazard.
WARNING
To avoid possible shock, do not pinch wires between
the hanger ball assembly and the hanger bracket.
5. Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable. Slide
cable clamp onto safety cable (from fan). Place the end
of cable through the loop of ceiling support cable. Pull as
much cable through loop as possible. Feed end of cable
into clamp hole and firmly tighten screw (Figure 4).
