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. 5)

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
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. 7)

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. 8)

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. 9)

Step 6. Now lift the motor body 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. 10) 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 faIling, 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. 11)

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. 12)

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only. It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.
