Federal regulations require ceiling fans with light kits manufactured or imported after
January 1, 2009, to limit total wattage consumed by the light kit to 190W. Therefore,
this fan is equipped with a wattage limiting device. If you lamp this fan's light kit with
bulbs totaling more than 190W, the wattage limiting device will reduce the watts
consumed to 190W.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

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. 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.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.

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 two 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.

CAUTIONS

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

Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.

PREPARATION

Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents above. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to
assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.

Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes

Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety
Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers

Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself Wiring Handbook
(available at Lowe’s) and Wire Cutters

Bulbs Required (included): 4 candelabra base 40-watt max. bulbs

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.

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

After opening top of carton, remove mounting hardware package from foam inserts. Remove motor
from packing and place on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish.

CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure that they
are secured.

prior to installation may result in serious injury or
death.

Determine mounting method to use. (Fig. 2)

2.
A. Normal mount
B. Angle mount
Important: If using the angle mount, check to
make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box using
screws, spring washers, and flat washers
provided with the outlet box. (Fig. 4)
*NOTE: It is very important that 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.

Remove motor screws (K) and lock washers (L)

5.
from underside of motor and save for blade arm
(H) attachment later on. [If there are plastic motor
blocks installed with the motor screws (K) and
lock washers (L), discard the plastic motor
blocks.] (Fig. 5)

FAN MOUNTING

Remove pin (N) and clip (O) from motor housing

1.
yoke at top of motor housing (D) and partially
loosen set screws. (Fig. 1)

*Helpful Hint: Downrod style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. (2.44 m) high or higher.
For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer
downrod (not included) than the one provided.
Angle style mounting is best suited for angled or
vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes
necessary to ensure proper blade clearance.

cover (T) must be turned with the shiny side
toward the motor housing (D).] Thread wires
from motor housing (D) through downrod (A).
(Fig. 2)

Slip downrod (A) into motor housing yoke, align

3.
holes and re-install pin (N) and clip (O).
Re-tighten set screws in motor housing yoke and
then tighten nuts. Slide yoke cover (F) down until
it rests on top of motor housing (D). (Fig. 3)

Depending on the length of downrod (A) you
use, 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 that you do so in the
following manner:

Take the lead wires and make sure that you
have pulled them all the way through the top of
the downrod (A). Start at the TOP of the ball on
the downrod (A) and measure 8 in. of lead wire,
and then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters
(not included). (Fig. 4)
