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 is: 18.48 lbs.

DANGER

If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected
by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock
or death.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER

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

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.

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

INITIAL INSTALLATION

2.

Determine mounting method to use.

A. Downrod-style mount (standard or angled

ceiling)

B. Closemount-style (standard ceiling only)

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to

make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

19° max.

*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. Closemount-style mounting is more
suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.

Check to make sure blades (G) will be at least 30

*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 (J) and motor washers
(R) from underside of motor housing (D). [If there
are plastic motor blocks installed with the motor
screws (J) and motor washers (R), discard the
plastic motor blocks.]

Depending on the length of downrod 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 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 hanging 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.

WIRING

WARNING: 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.

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

WARNING: If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following steps, stop
immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring.

WARNING: Using a full range dimmer switch (not included) to control fan speed will cause a
loud humming noise from fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do NOT use a full
range dimmer switch to control fan speed.

DANGER: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit

that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal
injury, electrical shock or death.

NOTE: This fan is remote control adaptable (remote control sold separately). Any remote control
used with this fan MUST be UL-approved for DAMP LOCATIONS.
