Caution: Before installin _fan turn off ower at service anel and

check all visible screws and bolts for tightness

Z.

Remove plastic, white stabilizing bushing from top of central shaft (A). Insert narrow end of bushing
into the shaft end of down_rod-light-canOpy/support pole (D) with three holes, iining up the twin mounting
holes in both down_rod-light-canOpy/su

pport

pole (D) and those of the white plastic bushing. Down-rod-
light-canopy/support pole (D) should be oriented with end of three holes to the fan body (wide portion of
light canopy stin towards ceiling). String wires

(M)

through the bottom of the down-rod-Iight-

canopy/support pole (D) to top of pole. Shaft (A) is to enter white plastic bushing and down-rod-Iight-

canopy/support pole (D). Holes in both shaft (Al and down_rod-light-.:anOpy/supportpole (D) are to be
aligned. Secure down_rod-Iight-canopy/support pole (D) to shaft (A) with shorter (L,) bolt set with the iock

washer positioned In between washer and nut. When pushing bolt through down_rod-light-.:anOpy/support

poie (D) and shaft (A), make sure wires (M) are not damaged. Use set screw wrench to push the wires out

of the way if necessary. Caution: Tighten nut and bolt set very well.

1. Attach bracket (H) to junctIon box securely. Caution, Tighten sc",ws wetl. JunctIon box should be suItable

ordered, attach decorative guard to motor faceplate with nut and bolt assemblies positioned in North and

South positions, above and below the motor shaft. Orient grill so that medallion is right side up. Caution:
Tighten set screw (R~) very well into hole on flattened side of motor shaft while holding onto only

the hub of fan head (B~1.. Caution: Not tightening them well into the hole on the flattened side of
the motor shaft will result in the fan head (B~) falling off while in motion. Caution: Do not hold
onto or touch fan blades or blade irons when tightening set screws, doing so can bend the blades'

brackets causing vibration during operation of fan. DO NOT OPERATE FAN IF THERE IS ANY

VISIBLE VIBRATION IN EITHER ARM, T1 or T2.

7. Attach down-rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

and rest of fan unit to bracket (H), which should have

been already attached to your junction/outlet box. Oown-rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

is to be

positioned in between the wings of bracket (H). Use larger bolt set (L2) and again lock washer is to be

positioned in between down-rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

and nut. When pushing bolt through down-

rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

and bracket (H) make sure that wires (M) are not damaged. Use set

screw wrench to push wires out of the way if necessary. Caution: Tighten bolt set very well so that
the wings of the bracket (H) collapse against the downrod.

8. Caution: Connect fan and power source wires at junction box according to national and local

electrical codes such as: NEC, OSHA etc. Re-read recommendations under heading of "Danger

I

WarningICaution." Note on Ceiling Fan: Green wire is always grounding wire and should be

attached to the junction box for safe operation. Note on Downrod Light Canopy: Bare copper wire

is always grounding wire and should be attached to the junction box for safe operation. If you

are not sure that the junction box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice. Caution:

Do not turn power back on at service panel until step #10 below has been completed.

9. Push canopy (C1) up down-rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

until the canopy lays flat against the

ceiling - covering junction box and bracket (H). Tighten set screws

(0)

in canopy (C1) well so that it is

secure in its new, permanent position.

10. Insert light bulbs into down rod light canopy sockets. Position sockets/bulbs so that they are not

touching and farthest away possible from any and all metal/wiring.

11. Use a level to test that the down-rod-light-canopy/support pole

(0)

is hanging perpendicular to floor.

The level should be placed across the support rods (T1 and T2) and the fan body rotated slowly one full

revolution. If the fan is not hanging perpendicular, the level will tell you and the Oown-rod-light-
canopy/support pole

(0),

bracket (H) or junction box should be adjusted accordingly. Caution: Do not
