SAFETY INFORMATION

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. 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
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.

CAUTION

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 cantents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt
to assemble the product.

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 and

Wire Cutters.

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 they are
secured.

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. Standard mount
B. Angle mount

*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. high 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.

3.

Check to make sure blades (D) are at least 30 in.
from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. above the
floor.

bracket (A) as this will support the fan.

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make
sure open end of mounting bracket (A) is installed
facing the higher point of the ceiling.

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:

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.
