Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12” is suggested for optimal operation.

NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger” for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans.

HANGING THE FAN

NOTE: FOR CANADA, THIS FAN MUST BE SECURED DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING STRUCTURE/CEILING JOIST. DON’T SECURE THIS FAN TO AN OUTLET BOX.

REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin. To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

• Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cover from the canopy by turning the cover counterclockwise.

• Step 2. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket from the canopy by removing (and save) one of the two screws. Loosen the remaining screw by a half turn.

• Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket.

• Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to the outlet box using the screws and washers included with the outlet box.

  • Secure the mounting bracket directly to a joist from the building structure. Use only the appropriate wood screws and lock washers included with your fan.
    CAUTION: The hanger bracket must be installed directly to the building joist using the two wood screws and lock washers.

• Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening the set screw, unscrewing and removing the cross pin and unscrewing the ball off the rod.

• Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and retaining clip from the coupling on top of the motor assembly.

• Step 7. Carefully feed the electrical lead wires from the fan up through the downrod. Thread the downrod into the coupling until the hitch pin holes align. Next, replace the hitch pin and retaining clip. Tighten both set screws.

• Step 8. Slip the coupling cover, canopy cover and canopy onto the downrod. Thread the hanger ball onto the downrod, insert the cross pin through the downrod and tighten. Tighten the set screw.

• Step 9. Lift the motor assembly into position and place the hanger ball into the ceiling mounting bracket. Rotate the entire assembly until the “Check Tab” has dropped into the “Registration Slot” and seats firmly. The entire motor assembly should not rotate (left or right) when seated properly.
  WARNING: Failure to reattach the cross pin and seat the “Check Tab” can cause the fan to fall from the ceiling during operation. Take special care to make sure this pin is reattached.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from falling, 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.
• 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 securely.

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only, it’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem / Solution

• Fan will not start.

  • Check circuit fuses or breakers.
  • Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
  • CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.

• Fan sounds noisy.

  • Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

  • Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.

  • Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
    CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

  • Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.

  • If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.

  • Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.

  • Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

• Fan wobbles.

  • Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
  • Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8”.
  • If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

• Remote control malfunction.

  • Ceiling fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch, if desired.
