WARNING:

• To avoid risk of electric shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the light switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
• To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 Meters) above the floor and at least 18 inches (0.5 Meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• The installation has to be in accordance with the national electrical code, ansi/nfpa 70-1999 and local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
• Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn OFF the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.
   DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

2. Remove the mounting bracket by removing the two mounting bracket screws from the round holes in the canopy. Then loosen the other two mounting bracket screws from the J-slots. Retain the mounting bracket screws for later. Install the mounting bracket to the outlet box (not included) using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
   Warning: To reduce the risk of fire electric shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use the mounting screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

3. Remove the ten motor screws and five motor blocks from the underside of the motor. Discard the motor blocks but save the motor screws for blade arm installation.

4. CLOSEMOUNT INSTALLATION (Optional)

   • Remove the three Phillips-head close mount screws from the top of the motor assembly.
   • Remove the canopy cover from the bottom of the canopy.
   • Align the holes in the bottom of the canopy with the screw holes in the top of the motor assembly. The larger holes in the canopy will encompass the three pre-installed screws.
   • Secure the canopy to the top of the motor assembly with the three close-mount screws.
   • Hang the fan on the hook of the mounting bracket. Proceed to Step 9.

5. DOWNLOAD MOUNT – Remove the download clip and download pin from the download. Then, loosen but do not remove the two set screws at the top of the yoke.

6. Feed the wires and braided cable coming from the yoke through the yoke cover, canopy, and download.

7. Insert the downrod into the yoke and reinstall the downrod pin and download the clip. Then retighten the two set screws.
   Note: With wiring extending out of the download, measure 8 inches of lead wire and cut the excess wire with wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of each wire. Do not cut the braided cable.

8. Lift the download into the mounting bracket. Rotate the download until the tab in the mounting bracket is seated in the slot in the downrod ball.
   WARNING: The fan and/or download should not rotate in the mounting bracket if installed correctly. Failure to align the slot in the downrod ball with the tab on the mounting bracket may result in the fan falling causing serious injury or death.
   SECONDARY HANGING SYSTEM
   For installation in the United States: Building codes in the U.S.A. do not require the installation of a Secondary Hanging System. If desired, the braided cable can be cut and removed using wire cutters (sold separately). Skip to Step 12.
   For installation in Canada: In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required.

9. Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.

10. Install a secondary support screw, secondary spring washer, and support washer partly into the side of the brace installed in the ceiling. Then lift the braided cable up and over the ceiling brace and place the open loop of the braided cable around the secondary support screw.
    Note: The ceiling support brace may not be accessible from below. If not, it must be accessed from above. Important: The braided cable must make a complete circle around the support brace to secure the fan.

11. Tighten the secondary support screw securing the braided cable.

12. Use wire connectors to connect the fan wires to the power supply wires according to the wiring diagram and the following instructions:

    • Connect the white wire from the fan to the white (neutral) supply wire.
    • Connect the black and blue wires from the fan to the black (hot) supply wire.
    • Connect the green wire from the download and mounting bracket to the bare/green (ground) supply wire. Note: The download is not used for close mount installation, so there will only be two green wires to connect.
      Note: If a second hot/power wire is available from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate fan and light switches.
      Important: After the connections have been made, the wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Place the black and white wire connections on opposite sides of the outlet box.

13. Align the canopy over the loosened mounting bracket screws. Place the J-slot of the canopy onto the mounting bracket screws and rotate clockwise. Secure the canopy with the two previously removed mounting bracket screws. Tighten all the mounting bracket screws securely.

14. Partially insert three blade screws along with three blade washers through one blade and into one blade arm. Tighten each blade screw with a Phillips screwdriver (not included), starting with the one in the middle. Repeat this step for the remaining blades and blade arms.

15. Install the blade arm to the underside of the motor assembly with previously removed motor screws. Tighten each blade arm completely before moving to the next.

16. Remove the three switch housing screws from the top edge of the light kit. Then, connect the single-pin connectors from the switch housing to the single-pin connectors from the light kit — blue to blue and white to white. Then, use the three previously removed switch housing screws, and secure the light kit to the switch housing.

17. Remove the socket ring from each socket. Raise the glass shade over the socket of the light kit. Secure the glass shade by twisting the socket ring clockwise onto the socket. Repeat for each socket.

18. Install the E26-base LED bulbs into the sockets in the light kit.

19. Attach pull chain extensions to the pull chains.
    Note: When facing the reverse switch, the pull chain on the left controls the light and the pull chain on the right controls the fan.
    Turn ON the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker. Installation is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the reverse switch, located on the switch housing to optimize your fan for seasonal performance. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort. In warmer weather, push the reverse switch down which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch up which will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
   Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely up or down in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

2. The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF. The light pull chain turns the light ON and OFF.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Central, Monday-Friday.

PROBLEM/SUGGESTED REMEDY

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, shut off the power supply to a fan before you begin any maintenance tasks.

The fan does not start:

1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure the forward/reverse switch is pushed completely up or down. Fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle.

The fan is noisy:

1. Make sure all screws in the motor assembly are snug, but not over-tightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).

Fan wobbles:

1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to the motor.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side-by-side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

Light does not work:

1. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
3. Check for faulty light bulbs.
4. Ensure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
