1. SAFETY RULES

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before cleaning and
maintenace, or attempting Installation.

2.

All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70-1999
and local electrical codes. Electrical installa­tion should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.

3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with

any solid-state fan speed control device.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,

4.

electric shock, or personal injury, mount
this fan to outlet box marked "Acceptable
for Fan Support" and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. Most
outlet boxes commonly used for the sup­port of light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced.
Due to the complexity of the installation of
this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is
strongly recommended.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO

OUTLET BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN

SUPPORT."

8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.

9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.

10. Do not use water or detergents when
cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust
cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.

11. After marking electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart with
conductor of a fan identified as grounded
condutor to be connected to a grounded
conductor of power supply, conductor of fan
identified as ungrounded conductor to be
connected to an ungrounded conductor of
power supply,conductor of fan identified for
equipment grounding to be connected to an
equipment-grounding conductor.

12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan

must be marked suitable for use with the
model fan you are installing. Refer to the
Instructions packaged with the light kits and
switches for proper assembly.

5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use the outlet boxes marked
"FOR FAN SUPPORT."

6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.

7. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS WHEN
INSTALLING THE BRACKETS, BALANCING THE

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL ( CUL for Canadian
Installation) listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Fig. 1

Outlet box

Fig. 2

Outlet box

Provide strong
support

Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its
support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do
not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of 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. (Fig. 3)

To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need a

joist hanging bracket as shown in Fig 4.

Step 1. Remove the fan motor and housing
assembly from the protective plastic bag and
take the lower styrofoam packing pad out of
the carton. Place the styrofoam pad on the
floor, then place the fan assembly into the
styrofoam pad with the bottom of the motor
facing up. (The styrofoam pad serves as a
holder for the fan during the first stages of
assembly). Remove the plastic motor shipping
blocks and discard. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. Secure the mounting bracket to the
ceiling outlet box using screws and washers
provided with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)

Step 3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the
cross pin and remove it from downrod
assembly. Loosen the set screw and rotate
the hanger ball off the downrod. (Fig. 7)

Step 4. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and lock pin from
the motor coupling assembly. (Fig. 8)

Step 5. Carefully feed fan electrical wires up
through the downrod. Thread the downrod
onto the motor coupling until the hitch pin
holes are aligned. Next, replace hitch pin and
lock pin, and tighten both set screws. (Fig. 8)

hanger bracket. Rotate until the “Check Tab”
has dropped into the “Registration Slot” and
seats firmly. (Fig. 10) The entire motor
assembly should not rotate if this is done
correctly.

NOTE: The entire motor assembly should
not rotate if this is done correctly.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
( For Canadian Installation ONLY )

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent
the ceiling fan from failing, please install it as
follows.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and
washers to the ceiling joist next to the mounting
bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 11-1)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to
reach the screw and washers by pulling the extra
cable through the cable clamp until the overall
length is correct, put the end of the cable back
through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the
end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp
securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the
safety cable over the wood screw and under the
washer. Tighten the wood screw securely. See
Fig. 11-2

7. MAKE THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,

be sure the electricity is turned off at the main
circuit breaker or fuse box before wiring.
WARNING: If your house wires are different
colors than referenced in this manual, stop
immediately. A professional electrician is recom­mended to determine proper wiring.
NOTE: The CoolTouch™ Control System is
equipped with 16 code combinations to prevent
possible interference from or to other remote
units. The frequency switches on your receiver
and transmitter have been preset at the factory.
Please recheck to make sure the switches on
the transmitter and receiver are set to the same
position, any combination of setting will operate
the fan as long as each switch on the transmitter
and receiver are set to the same opposition.
(Fig. 12) Changing the order of switches on
each switch block, changes the operational
frequency.
Step 1. Insert the receiver into the mounting
bracket, with the flat toward the ceiling. (Fig. 13)
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connec­tions:

NOTE: Make all of the following connections
with “Wire Nut” connectors.

Connect the black wire from the fan to black
wire marded “TO MOTOR L” from the receiver.
Connect the white wire from the fan to the white
wire marked “TO MOTOR N” from the receiver.
Connect the blue wire from the fan to the blue
wire marked “For Bottom Light” from the
receiver. Place a plastic wire nut on the end of
the Orange Wire coming from the receiver
marked “For Upper Light”. Your ceiling fan is not
equipped with a Upper Light. Secure all the wire
connections with the plastic wire nut provided.

NOTE: The transmitting unit must be installed

at a maximum distance of 30 feet from the
ceiling fan for proper signal transmission
between the transmitting unit and the fan’s
receiving unit.

8. INSTALLING THE CEILING CANOPY

WARNING: One last time, make sure the “Check

Tab” at the bottom of the hanger bracket is prop­erly seated in the “Registration Slot” on the side
of the hanger ball before attaching the canopy to
the bracket. Failure to properly seat the “Check
Tab” could damage the electrical wires when the
ceiling fan blade direction is changed while the
fan is running.

Canopy cover

Step 1. Make sure all of the electrical connec­tions are tucked neatly into ceiling outlet box.

Step 2. Slide the canopy up to ceiling fan and
onto the two screws on hanger bracket. Rotate
the canopy clockwise and tighten the two screws.
Next, while holding the canopy with one hand,
slide the canopy cover over the screws and
rotate clockwise until tight.

NOTE: You may need to adjust the canopy
mounting screws as necessary until the canopy
and canopy cover have a snug fit. (Fig. 15)

9. ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES
