Safety rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has
been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the latest edition of
National Electrical Code “ANSI / NFPA 70” and local electrical
codes.
3. WARNING: to reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do
not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
It will permanently damage the electronic circuitry.
4. CAUTION: to reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the
screws provided with the outlet box.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of
15.9 kg (35 lb.). Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR
FAN SUPPORT”
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet (2.13 m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
7. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
8. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
9. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or
fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly damped cloth will be
suitable for cleaning.
10. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor
on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on
the other side of the outlet box.
11. All set screws must be checked and re-tightened where
necessary before installation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked acceptable for fan support
the screws provided with the outlet
box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of personal injury, do not bend
the blade arms (also referred to
as flanges), when installing the
brackets, balancing the blades
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert
foreign objects in-between rotating
fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or personal
injury, mount to outlet box marked
“acceptable for fan support of
15.9 kg (35 lbs.) or less” and use
mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for the support of
light fixtures are not acceptable
for fan support and may need to
be replaced. Due to the complexity
of the installation of this fan, a
qualified licensed electrician is
strongly recommended.

Basic guidelines for working with electricity
1. Before working on a circuit, go to the main service panel
and remove the fuse or trip the breaker that controls that
circuit.
2. Tape a sign to the panel warning others to leave the circuit
alone while you work
3. Before touching any wire, use a voltage tester to make
sure it’s not live.
4. Whenever you check for voltage in a receptacle, check
both outlets-each may be controlled by a separate wiring
circuit.
5. When replacing fuses, turn off the main power first. Make
sure your hands and feet are dry, and place one hand behind
your back to prevent electricity from making a complete
circuit through your chest. Touch a plug fuse only by its
insulated rim.
6. Remove cartridge fuses with fuse puller.
7. Use tools with insulated handles and ladders made of
wood or fiber glass.
8. To protect children, place safety cover over any unused
outlets.
Shut off main
power at the
circuit breaker
or fuse panel
before removing
old fixture.
Remove
old fixture.
Disconnect wire.

HANGING THE FAN
WARNING: Failure to properly
install cotter pin as noted in step
4 could result in fan loosening
and possibly falling.
Remove the clevis pin (CC),
cotter pin (DD) and loosen 2 collar
set screws (BB) from the top of the
fan motor assembly (V).
Take out the setscrew located in
the hanger ball, lower the hanger
ball and remove the cross pin.
Remove the hanger ball from the
hanger ball/downrod assembly (T).
Carefully feed the motor wires
up through the downrod (T).
Thread the downrod (T) into
the collar.
Align the holes at the bottom
of the downrod (T) with the holes
in the collar on top of the fan
motor assembly (V). Caref
ully
insert the clevis pin (CC) through
the holes in the collar and
downrod (T). Be careful not to
jam the clevis pin (CC) against
the wiring inside the downrod (T).
Slip the coupling cover (U),
canopy cover (S) and canopy (R)
onto the downrod (T).
Carefully reinstall the hanger
ball onto the downrod (T), being
sure that the cross pin is in the
correct position, the setscrew
is tightened and wires are not
twisted.
Tighten two set screws (BB)
at top of the fan motor collar
firmly and evenly until fully
engaged. Once set scr
ews have
been installed, tighten each
nut (located on set screws)
completely against motor collar.

HANGING THE FAN
Carefully lift the fan assembly
up to the mounting bracket
(Q) and sit the hanger ball /
downrod assembly (T) in the
mounting bracket (Q) socket.
Make sure the tab on the
mounting bracket socket is
properly seated in the groove

If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to prepare the electrical connections.
After that, conform with the descriptions and diagrams on
next pages to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use
the wire nuts supplied with your fan. Secure the wire nuts
with electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
PREPARING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1.
Insert the receiver (M) into the mounting
bracket (Q) with the fl at side of the receiver
(M) facing the ceiling.
WARNING: To avoid possible
electric shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box
before wiring.

WARNING: To avoid possible electric
shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: Fan must be installed at a
maximum distance of 6.1 m (20
ft.) from the transmitting unit for
proper signal transmission between
the transmitting unit and fan’s
receiving unit.
CAUTION: Do not use wall switch
with dimmer function.
WARNING: Check to see that all
connections are tight, including
ground wire, and that no bare wire
is visible at the wire nuts, except for
the ground wire.
WARNING: Electrical diagrams are
for reference only. Optional use of
any light kit shall be UL listed and
marked suitable for use with this fan.
MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Supply Circuit
Motor to receiver electrical connections: Connect the black
wire from the fan to black wire marked “TO MOTOR L” from
the receiver. Connect the white wire from the fan to the
white wire marked “TO MOTOR N” from the receiver. Connect
the blue wire from the fan to the blue wire marked “For Light”
from the receiver. Secure the wire connections with the
plastic wire nuts (H) and electrical tape.
Receiver to house supply wires electrical connections:
Connect the black (hot) wire from the ceiling to the black
wire marked “AC in L” from the receiver. Connect the white
(neutral) wire from the ceiling to the white wire marked “AC
in N” from the receiver. Secure the wire connections with the
plastic wire nuts (H) and electrical tape.
If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper),
connect it to the ground wire from mounting bracket and
the ground wire from downrod assembly, secure the wire
connection with a plastic wire nut (H); otherwise connect the
ground wire from mounting bracket to the ground wire from
downrod assembly, secure the wire connection with plastic
wire nut (H) and electrical tape.
After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so the green and white wires are on
one side of the outlet box and the black
and blue wires are on the other side.
Carefully tuck the wire connections up into
the outlet box.
Lift the canopy (R) up to the ceiling and
install the canopy (R) to the mounting
bracket (Q) by using the canopy mounting
screws (AA). Attach the canopy bottom
cover (S) to the canopy mounting screw
(AA) heads by inserting the screw heads
into the key slots in the canopy bottom
cover (S) and rotating the canopy bottom
cover (S) clockwise.
NOTE: Adjust the canopy mounting screws
(AA) as necessary until the canopy (R) and
canopy bottom cover (S) are snug.
