SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.
• Make sure that all electrical connections are in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and local codes. Hire a licensed electrician if you are unfamiliar  with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 2.1m (7 feet) from the floor and 18  inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
• The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only ULL. listed outlet boxes marked  “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 Ibs) or less”.
• Before and after you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
• Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
• To change the direction of the rotation of the blades, the fan must be in operation mode.
• All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before  installation.
• After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
• The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Conductor wiring identified as grounded is to be connected to a  grounded conductor of power supply. Conductor wiring identified as ungrounded conductor is to be connected to an ungrounded conductor. Conductor wiring  identified for equipment grounding is to be connected to an equipment- grounding conductor.
• This device complies with part15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired Operation.
• CAUTION: Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 Ibs) or less” and use  mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade bracket when installing the brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert  foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical supply circuit to the fan before installing the light kit.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this fan must be installed with a general use, non-dimmable, single gang, isolating wall control/switch.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

Installation

WARNING: To avoid serious injury or death, turn off the power at the circuit breaker before installing the fan.

1. Disassemble the Light Kit
   Take the motor assembly out of the the box, rotate the light kit to remove it out of the motor assembly.

2. Disassemble the Motor
   Use a screwdriver to loosen the canopy screws and remove the mounting plate. Save the screws for later use.

Installation: Mounting Options

3. Install the Mounting Plate
You have two options for mounting plate installation. Pick which one works best for your location.
WARNING: Turn off the power from the breaker circuit first!
Note: For better fan performance, make sure the mounting plate is level.
Option 1 : Fasten the mounting plate with the ST5x24 wood setscrews (included) when securing to the wooden ceiling beam or support structure with an approved electrical  outlet box as shown in Fig 3.1.
Option 2: Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. If the mounting plate is installed at the outlet box, it should be installed on the outlet box with the screws that came with your outlet box itself.
Pull the supply wires (the black, white and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate and lay them to the side.
WARNING: DO NOT use the plastic outlet box. Use only U . L . listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15. 9 kg (35 Ibs ) or less’.

Installation: Wiring

4 . Hang the Fan
Carefully lift the fan-motor assembly. Hang the motor assembly on the hook of the mounting plate by utilizing one of the holes at the outer rim of the motor housing so that  it is securely suspended.

5. Connect the Wiring
Connect the wire plug of the motor to the wire plug of the adapter and confirm the connection is secure.
The Green/Yellow wire from mounting plate connects with the supply Ground wire using the wire nut.
Connect the White wire of the Adapter to the supply White (Neutral) wire using a wire nut, connect the Black wire of the Adapter to the supply Black/Red (Hot/Live) wire  using a wire nut.
Then hide them and the adapter inside the motor housing. (Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colors as shown in Fig 5.1)
Attach the other end of safety rope to aside place.

Care & Cleaning

1. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may  become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
2. Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or  tarnishing.
3. Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
4. (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

DO NOT:

1. Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
2.  Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
   WARNING: Power off the fan before performing maintenance or cleaning the fan.
