INITIAL INSTALLATION

1. Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan 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. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling).
   • B. Closemount (standard ceiling only).
     IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
     *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 mounting is more suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.

3. Check to make sure blades (J) will be at least 30 in. from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. above the floor.

4. Temporarily raise canopy (B) to mounting bracket (C) and determine which 2 canopy mounting screws (G) align with slotted holes in canopy (B). Partially loosen these 2 canopy mounting screws (G) and remove the other two; save for later use.

5. Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box (not included) using screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with the outlet box.
   *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°.

6. Remove preassembled motor blocks from underside of motor housing (D). Discard the motor blocks.
   Remove motor screws/washers (R) from underside of motor housing (D), and save for blade arm (L) attachment later on.
