3. Ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
4. Read all of the safety information on page 3 before installation or use.
5. Assemble the fan using the provided parts and additional tools required for assembly.
6. Mount the fan to a junction box marked acceptable for fan support, ensuring that the junction box and support structure are securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds.
7. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the junction box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the junction box.
8. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
9. Do not use the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. To prevent damage and ensure long use, the fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing direction.
10. Do not place objects in the path of the blades.

Safety Information

Warning!

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
3. This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
4. To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the fasteners provided with the junction box for mounting to the junction box. Most junction boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
   • TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, & PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO A JUNCTION BOX MARKED “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
5. The junction box and support structure MUST be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only UL listed junction boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
6. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the junction box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the junction box.
7. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
8. Do not use the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. To prevent damage and ensure long use, the fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing direction.
9. Do not place objects in the path of the blades.
10. Exercise caution when working around or cleaning the fan.
11. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the fan body and blades. Do not use water or detergent.
12. The electrical diagrams provided herein are for reference only. Light kits that are not packaged with the fan must be UL listed and suitable for use with this fan. Switches must be UL general use switches. Refer to their separate instructions for proper assembly.

NEVER BEND THE BLADES FOR ANY REASON.

Preparation

1. Turn Off Your Power
   Begin installation by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers to the wiring you will be using. Use your compatible UL listed junction box if you already have one installed. Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

2. Choose Your Mounting Position
   If you need to install a new UL listed junction box, secure it directly to your building’s structure usingappropriate fasteners and materials. Do not use plastic boxes. The junction box and its supports must be able to support the MOVING weight of the fan (at least 50 lb.) and be rated for fan support.

3. Choose a Suitable Location
   Ensure the blades will be at least 30 inches from any obstruction and at least 7 feet above the floor. In locations without a ceiling joist, a hanger support bar may be required. Do not install in damp locations.

Initial Installation

• Step 1. Pass the supply wires from the junction box (not included) through the central hole of the mounting bracket.
• Step 2. Secure the bracket to the junction box with the provided fasteners. Use the mounting screws and metal washers on wood ceilings or the plastic anchor and anchor bolts on reinforced concrete or similar ceilings.

Downrod Mounting

• Step 1. Remove the locking pin and retaining clip from the
  downrod.

• Step 2. Loosen the two locking bolts on the top of the motor
  assembly.

• Step 3. Carefully slide the canopy and coupling cover onto the
  downrod.

• Step 4. Feed the wires of the fan motor assembly through the

• downrod.

• Step 5. Install the downrod onto the top of the motor assembly,
  aligning their holes and replacing the pin and the clip.

• Step 6. Retighten the previously loosened bolts.

• Step 7. Place the download’s top mount onto the mounting bracket. Rotate the entire assembly until the tab has dropped into its slot and sits firmly. The entire motor assembly should no longer rotate if seated properly. Failure to reattach the locking pin and/or properly seat the downrod can cause the fan to fall from the ceiling during operation.DO NOT use the fan before ensuring it is properly secured and the motor cannot rotate.

Circuit Connections

Again, ensure that the power has been cut before working with the wiring. Use the wire nuts provided with your fan. Ensure there are no loose wires or connections, and secure connectors with electrical tape.

• Step 1. Connect the 2 colored wires of the receiver to the 2 identically colored wires of the
  junction box. Secure each set with the provided wire nuts.

• Step 2. Connect the green or bare copper ground wire of the junction box to the ground wire of the ceiling fan motor. Separate the white and green connections from the black wire connections, which should be kept on opposite sides of the junction box.

• Step 3. Tuck all the connections neatly into the junction box.

Canopy Adjustment

• Step 1. Remove the locking bolts on the rim of the mounting bracket.
• Step 2. Slide the canopy up to the mounting bracket, turning until their slots align with each other.
• Step 3. Replace the tighten the bolts.

Light Installation

Install your bulbs into the sockets on the lamp holders. This fixture has been rated for four E12 bulbs (not included) up to 40W each.

Remote Control Operation

Install the remote control holder onto any wall or suitable flat surface using two mounting screws/bolts.

This remote operates with a range of 30 feet (10 m). It uses one A23 battery (not included). If the remote will not be used for a prolonged period, it is recommended to remove the batteries for better service life.

Troubleshooting

Fan blades don’t rotate

| Check fuses and/or circuit breakers and reset if needed.
Cut off power to the fan and check its internal electrical

connections.

Replace the remote control’s batteries.
Check that the fan cover is correctly placed and no

screws interfere with the movement of the blades.

Contact customer service to replace a faulty remote control.

Fan is too noisy

| Check that all fasteners are well-tightened.
Ensure the canopy housing has a short distance between

itself and the ceiling.

Upon initial installation, allow 24 hours of use for the

machine to break itself in.

Cut off power to the fan and check that the wire nut connections are not rubbing against one another or the inner housing.
If you have installed a solid-state variable-speed control, cut off power to the fan and disconnect this control from the device. See if using the remote resolves the problem, which can be caused by erratic signals from such controls.

Fan wobbles during use

| Check that all fasteners are well-tightened.
Use the provided balance kit to adjust the blades if their tips are found to be an unequal distance from the ceiling while well fastened.
Exchange the position of the various blades.

Again, do not bend the blades during any of these procedures.
