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 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.
WARNING: Before you begin installing the fan, servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.

| Before installing this fan make sure the outlet box is properly installed to the house structure. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support. (Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)
| Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support and use only the screws provided
with the outlet box (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member ( a loose box will cause the fan to wobble).
| Install the mounting bracket onto the outlet box. Partially loosen the two screws on the
outlet box, attach the mounting bracket onto the outlet box by sliding it over the two screws as shown in the illustration. Have the mounting bracket in position and tighten the set screws.
| Partially loosen downfold set screws from yoke at top of motor assembly.
Remove preassembled cross pin and keeper pin from dowered.
Place downrod over canopy. Thread lead wires and safety cable from motor assembly through downrod.
| Slip downfold into motor housing yoke, aligning holes and install cross pin and keeper pin. Insert cross pin through yoke and downfold until point appears on the other side, and insert keeper pin on cross pin. Pull the downfold up tight against the cross pin, and then evenly tighten the downfold set screws on motor housing yoke.
Warning: Cross pin and keeper pin must be installed securely, failure to install them
will result in serious injury.
| Install ball end of downrod into mounting bracket opening. Align (engage) slot on
ball with tab on mounting bracket.
Warning: Failure to align slot on ball with tab may result in serious injury.
Important: If using the angle mount, make sure open end of mounting bracket is installed facing the higher point of the ceiling and make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 20º.
| For Canadian installation and for USA fan and light kit combinations over 35 lbs, in
both flush and downrod modes the safety cable must be installed into the house structure beams using 3” lag screws, washers and lock washers provided. Make sure that when the safety cable is fully extended the lead wires are longer than the cable and no stress is placed on the lead wires.
Note: If Installing The Secondary Support Safety Cable in the U.S., Do Not Remove
Knockouts In The Outlet Box.
| Make wiring connections using wire connectors provided as indicated above.
White from fan to White (Neutral) from house. Black and Blue from fan to Black
(Live) from house. Connect all green grounded wires to Grounded wire from House. Make sure that no filaments are outside of the wire connectors.
| 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 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.
| Lift Canopy allowing the 2 studs to protrude through the canopy.
Install knurled nuts as shown. Tighten the knurled nuts securely. The canopy should adjust for any irregularity in the ceiling or Outlet box.
Make sure the studs protruding from the bottom of the Mounting bracket are installed with threads all the way through the bracket.
| Install blade bracket with blade by 3 blade screws and washers provided.
Tighten screws securely. Repeat this process for remaining blades.
| Remove shipping stabilizers from motor assembly.
Install the blade assembly to motor using the preinstalled screws. Tighten screws securely. Repeat this process for remaining blade assemblies.
| Setting the reverse switch in the down position will result in downward airflow and setting the switch in the up  position will result in upward airflow.

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 this Troubleshooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning: Before you begin installing, servicing or cleaning the fan unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the service panel.

breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed firmly either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.
2. If fan sounds noisy:| 1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3. Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
4. Check to be sure lightbulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
6. Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles:| 1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket, or mounting plate are tightened securely to ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
3. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
5. Most fan wobble 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 from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8″, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert
a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of blade.
6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically balance your fan with balancing kit provided.
4. If light does not work:| 1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or canopy.
