Mounting

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less”, and use screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting xtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

□ Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off

the circuit breakers.

□ Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use

the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from horizontal.

Hanger Bar

Outlet Box

If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the canopy bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above

(available at any Home Depot store).

Routing the wires

□ Route the wires exiting the top of the fan motor (F)

through the coupler cover (E), and canopy ring (D).

□ Make sure the slot openings are on top and route the

wires through the canopy (C) and then through the ball/downrod assembly (B).

Assembling the fan

WARNING: Failure to properly install the locking pin could result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling.

□ Loosen, but do not remove, the two setscrews (RR) on the

collar (TT) on top of the motor housing.

□ Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod (B) with the

holes in the collar (TT) on top of the motor housing.

□ Carefully insert the hanger pin (DD) through the holes in

the collar (TT) and downrod (B). Be careful not to jam the hanger pin (DD) against the wiring inside the downrod (B).

□ Insert the locking pin (EE) through the hole near the end of

the hanger pin (DD) until it snaps into its locked position.

□ Re-tighten the two setscrews (RR) on the collar (TT) on top

of the motor housing.

Making the electrical connection

WARNING: Each wire not supplied with this fan is designed to accept up to one 12-gauge house wire and two wires from the fan. If you have larger than 12-gauge house wiring or more than one house wire to connect to the fan wiring, consult an electrician for the proper size wire nuts to use.

WARNING: Remove the rubber motor stops on the bottom of the fan before installing the blades or testing the motor.

IMPORTANT: Use the plastic wire connectors (CC) supplied with your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure there are no loose strands or connections.

NOTE: The fan comes with 30 in. lead wires for use with an extended ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired length (no shorter than 12 in.).

□ The fan comes with 30 in. lead wires for use with an extended

ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired length (no shorter than 12 in.) This will make extra room in the canopy (C), if you do not wish to cut the wires, you will need to neatly wrap them.

□ Connect the fan motor green wires to the household green or

bare wire using a wire connecting nut (CC).

□ Connect the fan motor white wire to the household white wire
