SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

  • Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
  • Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70- 199. Hire an electrician or consult a do-it-yourself handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
  • Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum of 7 feet from the blades to the floor and at least 30 inches from the tip of the blades to any obstruction.
  • The weight of the fan is 26.07 pounds.
  • DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure it is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.
  • WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
  • WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a humming sound from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed.
  • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet 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. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
  • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
  • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
  • WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts other than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
  • CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
  • CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan assembly ensure they are secured.

Ceiling-Fan \(4\)

STANDARD OR ANGLE MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Remove the downrod clip and downrod pin from the downrod. Then partially loosen the set screws in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly (Figure 3.1).
  2. Feed the fan wires through the yoke cover, canopy and downrod (Figure 3.2).
  3. Slide the downrod into the yoke of the motor assembly. Align holes and reinstall the downrod pin and downrod clip and secure with the two set screws (Figure 3.3).
  4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may want to cut the fan wires to simplify wiring. After pulling the wires all the way through the downrod, measure 8 inches of wire. Cut off the excess wire using wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of each wire strand (Figure 3.4).
  5. Install the ball end of the downrod into the opening of the mounting bracket (Figure 3.5). WARNING: Failure to align the slot in the ball with the tap on the mounting bracket may cause the fan to fall, which could result in injury or death.

FINAL INSTALLATION

  1. Use wire connnectors to connect household supply and fan wires according to the diagram (Figure 5.1) and the following steps:
    • Connect the green wire from the downrod and mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire. Note: Closemount installation does not use the downrod, so there will only be two Green wires to connect.
    • Connect the White wire with red label from the receiver to the White (neutral) supply wire.
    • Connect the Red wire with red label from the receiver to the Black (hot/power) supply wire.
    • Connect the Black wire with white label from the receiver to the Black fan wire.
    • Connect the Blue wire with white label from the receiver to the Blue fan wire.
    • Connect the White wire with white label from the receiver to the White fan wire.
  2. Align the canopy over the loosened mounting bracket screws. Place the J-slot of the canopy onto the mount bracket screws and rotate clockwise (Figure 5.2).
  3. Secure the canopy with the two previously removed mounting bracket screws. Tighten all the mounting bracket screws securely (Figure 5.3). Honeywell-50608-Xerxes-LED-Ceiling-Fan \(7\)
  4. Partially insert three blade screws through the blade arm and the blade. Secure each blade screw with a blade screw cap, starting with the one in the middle. Repeat this step for the remaining blades and blade arms (Figure 5.4).
  5. Insert blade arm (K) through slots in the side of the motor assembly. Align the holes of one blade arm with two motor screw holes in underside of the motor assembly. Secure with two motor screws. Repeat this step for the remaining blade arms (Figure 5.5).
  6. Remove one of the three fitter plate screws preassembled to the fitter plate and loosen the other two but do not remove. Connect the single-pin connector from the fitter plate to the single-pin connector from the light kit — Blue to Black and White to White. Align the slotted holes in the light kit with the loosened screws in the fitter plate. Turn light kit clockwise and replace the previously removed fitter plate screw. Tighten all screws (Figure 5.6).
  7. Attach the lens cover to the light kit by twisting the lens cover tightly in a clockwise direction (Figure 5.7).
  8. Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote transmitter and insert the 12-volt battery, noting polarity — positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-). Replace the battery cover. If battery is installed correctly, the LED indicator on the front of the remote transmitter should illuminate when any button is pushed (Figure 5.8).
  9. (Optional) If you wish to install the wall bracket for the remote, insert the two screws through the wall bracket and into the wall. Once the wall bracket is installed, hang the slot in the back of the remote over the top of the wall bracket (Figure 5.9). Turn on power to fan at breaker box and the wall switch.
