SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, install or operate the

product.

• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage that
might exceed the initial cause for return.

• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring
handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the
floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.

• After you install the fan, make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.

• The net weight of this fan including the light kit is: 20.72 lbs.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER

When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building
structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or
death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after

installation is complete.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its
support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).

To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan
are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your
house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the
corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed control
device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the
rotating fan blades.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, use ONLY parts provided with this fan. The use of parts
OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

Before installation, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.

CAUTION

Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.

Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure they are secure.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan

1.
supply line leads.

DANGER: Failure to disconnect power supply
prior to installation may result in serious injury or
death.

2.

Determine mounting method to use.
A. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
B. Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to
make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings
you may want to use a longer downrod (not
included). Angle-style mounting is best suited for
angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is
sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade
clearance.

Check to make sure blades (F) will be at least

3.
30 in. from any obstruction and at least 7 ft.
above the floor.

*NOTE: It is very important you use the proper

hardware when installing the mounting bracket
(C) as this will support the fan.

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make
sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is
installed facing the higher point of the ceiling, and
ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

5.

Remove motor screws (I) and lock washers (K)
from underside of motor housing (D). [If there are
plastic motor blocks installed with the motor
screws (I) and lock washers (K), discard the
plastic motor blocks.]

DOWNROD-STYLE FAN MOUNTING

Depending on the length of downrod you use,

4.
you may need to cut the lead wires back to
simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the
lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the
following manner:

4

Take the lead wires and make sure you have
pulled them all the way through the top of the
downrod. Start at the TOP of the ball on the
downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and
then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not
included).

NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires,
Steps 4 and 5 are not necessary and you may
proceed to Step 6 instead.

5.

If you decided to cut back the lead wires in Step 4,
strip 1/2 in. of insulation from end of white wire.
Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within
the insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat
Step 5 for black, blue (if applicable) and green
wires.

6.

Install ball end of downrod (A) into opening of
mounting bracket (C). Align slot in ball with tab in
mounting bracket (C).

DANGER: Failure to align slot in ball with tab
may cause the fan to wobble or fall, which could
result in serious injury or death.
