Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the full weight of the fan (up to 15.9kg (35 pounds)). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12″ is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: You must use 12″ or longer downrod for 22° slope (max angle 22°). (Fig. 3)
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger” for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES

CAUTION: To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect The Electrical Supply Circuit To The Fan Before Installing Fan Blades.

• Step 1. Align the four holes in a blade with four matching holes in the blade holder. Thread blade attachment screws into the aligned holes, and tighten screws to secure the blade to the blade holder. Repeat for remaining blades. (Fig. 5)
• Step 2. NOTE: Inside of the blade holder there are six tabs. Three of the tabs have a post on top, and three of the tabs have a hole in the center.
• NOTE: In the outer ring of the motor assembly there are six holes. Three of the holes are smaller in size and three of the holes are larger in size.
  Carefully insert the motor assembly into the blade holder, aligning the smaller holes in the motor assembly with the posts on top of the tabs. Pass the posts through the smaller holes, and seat the outer ring of the motor assembly on top of all six tabs.
  The larger holes in the motor assembly should align with the holes in the tabs. Thread the three motor assembly attachment screws into the larger holes in the motor assembly and into the holes in the tabs, and tighten to secure the motor assembly to the blade holder. (Fig. 6)”

HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin installation. This is necessary for your safety and also the proper programming of the control system.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

• Step 1. Before attaching fan to outlet box (not included), ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket. Install mounting bracket to outlet box in ceiling using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 7)

• Step 2. Remove the hairpin and clevis pin from the downrod assembly, retain for later use. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening set screw, removing the cross pin, and sliding ball off of the rod. (Fig. 8)
  NOTE: Make sure to keep loosened hardware separate to avoid confusion during installation.

• Step 3. Loosen the two set screws on the motor coupling. (Fig. 9)

• Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires and safety cable up through the downrod. Thread the downrod onto the motor coupling until the clevis pin holes are aligned. Next, replace the clevis pin and hairpin, then tighten both set screws. (Fig. 10)
• Step 5. Slip the coupling cover, canopy hole cover and canopy onto the downrod. Carefully reinstall the hanger ball onto the downrod. Make sure the cross pin is in the correct position and the set screw is tight and the wires are not twisted . ( Fig. 11)
  CAUTION: Ensure all screws are tight before moving to the next step.

• Step 6. Now lift the motor assembly into position and place the hanger ball into the mounting bracket. Rotate until the “Check Tab” has dropped into the “Registration Slot “ and seats firmly. ( Fig. 12) The entire motor body should not rotate if this is done correctly.
  WARNING: Failure to properly seat the “Check Tab” can damage the ceiling fan during operation.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from failings, please install it as follows.

• Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8″) of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 13)
• Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall length is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely. (Fig. 14)
  NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only, it’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem : Solution

• Fan wan will not start not start.

  • Check circuit fuses or breakers.
  • Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
    CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.

• Fan sounds noisy.

  • Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
  • Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
  • Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing CAUTION: Make sure main power Is off.
  • Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
  • If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
  • Do not connect this fan to a wall mounted variable speed controls). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
  • Make sure the upper canopy has a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

• Fan wobble. Remote control malfunction.

  • Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
  • Most fan wobbling 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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″.
  • If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

• Remote control malfunction.

  • Celling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/off wall switch, if desired.
