grounding in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and all local requirements.

3. Follow all local electrical and
safety codes, as well as the

BEFORE A CEILING IS INSTALLED
WITH ACCESS FROM BELOW

Figure 2: Wiring Diagram

1. Disconnect motor cord and plug
from internal terminal and receptacle
before starting installation
(see figure 2).

2. Assemble adjustable flanges to fan
housing with four self-tapping metal
screws (provided). Adjustable
flanges should be located as
illustrated in Figure 3.

3. Secure the adjustable flanges to
each joist. Attach a properly sized
duct to the duct sleeve mounted on
the fan housing. Connect this duct
system to the appropriate size wall
cap or roof cap (see Figure 3).

4. Before wiring is attempted, Always
lock out the primary and secondary
power source. Utilizing the pre­punched hole found at the terminal
box on the fan housing, insert a 3/8"
electrical connector. All wiring should
be in strict accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local,
state and federal standards.

5. If building out is necessary, an
appropriate piece(s) of wood should
be utilized. Nail wood spacer(s)
to joist(s) at the point where the fan
will be installed; the fan housing
should fit between the two joists
(or between the built-out spacers)
with approximately 1/2" clearance.
spacers should be sized according
to the fan housing dimensions
(see Figure 4).

6. Complete installation by cutting
an 11-7/8" x 13-3/4" ceiling opening
for the unit. Use care not to
exceed this dimension when
installing the fan.

7. The egg crate ceiling grill should be
installed by screwing the grill into the
fan housing using the two 2" plastic
bolts supplied with each unit.

8. Automatically operated thermal
protector to reduce risk of injury;
disconnect power supply
before servicing.

WITH CEILING IN PLACE

1. Disconnect motor cord and
plug from internal terminal
box and receptacle before
starting installation.

2. Assemble adjustable flanges
to fan housing with four self-tapping
metal screws (provided). Adjustable
flanges should be located as
illustrated in Figure 5. Install the
duct and electrical service in
accordance with the instructions
listed in the previous section.

SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEMS

Installation of ceiling fans in suspended
ceiling systems require a minimum 10
gauge solid wire for hanging or suspend­ing the ceiling fan. Four wires per unit
should be connected to the pre-punched
holes of the adjustable mounting flanges
(after the flanges have been mounted to
the fan housing as outlined above).

grill can be cleaned of dust and
grease if required.

a. Remove the grill. Using a vacuum

cleaner with appropriate attach­ments, vacuum dust from the grill.

Wash the grill with a warm, soapy
solution of water. Allow the grill to
dry thoroughly before re-installing.

b. To clean blower wheel(s) and hous-

ing, unplug blower motor from inte­gral terminal box. Unscrew the self­tapping screws which secure the
motor and blower support plate.
Carefully remove entire blower/
motor assembly. Vacuum blower
wheel. If necessary, the wheel can
be washed. Wipe blower wheel dry
with an absorbent cloth. Before
replacing blower/motor assembly,
wipe out interior of housing. Replace
blower/motor assembly and secure
