ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn OFF the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.
   DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.
   

2. Loosen all four mounting bracket screws, then completely remove two mounting bracket screws from opposite sides of the mounting bracket.

3. Feed the supply wires from the outlet box through the center hole in the mounting bracket. Then, secure the mounting bracket to the outlet box (not included) using screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
   WARNING: It is very important you use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket as it will support the fan.
   

4. Remove the 8 motor screws from the underside of the motor assembly and save for blade arm installation.

5. Raise the fan and place the top of the motor assembly on the hook on the mounting bracket, temporarily leaving hands free for the wiring process.
   SECONDARY HANGING SYSTEM
   For installation in the United States: Building codes in the U.S.A. do not require the installation of a Secondary Hanging System. If desired, the braided cable can be cut
   and removed using wire cutters (sold separately). Skip to Step 9.
   For installation in Canada: In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required.

6. Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.
   

7. Install a secondary support screw, secondary spring washer, and support washer partly into the side of the brace installed in the ceiling. Then lift the braided cable up and over the ceiling brace and place the open loop of the braided cable around the secondary support screw.
   Note: The ceiling support brace may not be accessible from below. If not, it must be accessed from above.
   Important: The braided cable must make a complete circle around the support brace to secure the fan.

8. Tighten the secondary support screw securing the braided cable.

9. Connect supply and fan wires according to the diagram and these steps:
   • Connect the Green wire from the mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
   • Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
   • Connect the Black wire from the fan to the Black (hot) supply wire.
   • Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors.
   Note: The Black wire is hot power. The White wire is neutral. The Green wire is the ground wire. If supply wires are different colors than referred to above, a professional
   an electrician should determine the proper wiring.
   

10. Slide the top of the motor assembly over the mounting bracket, aligning the slotted holes in the top of the motor assembly with the pre-loosened mounting bracket screws in the mounting bracket. Twist the motor assembly clockwise to lock. Then, re-insert the mounting bracket screws and securely tighten all screws.

11. Partially insert three blade screws along with blade washers through the blade arm, blade, and into the medallion. Tighten each blade screw starting with the one in the middle. Repeat this step for the remaining blades.
    

12. Install the blade arm to the underside of the motor assembly with previously removed motor screws. Tighten each blade arm completely before moving to the next.

13. Remove one of the three fitter plate screws preassembled to the fitter plate and loosen the other two but do not remove them. Feed the 6-pin connector through the center hole in the light pan. Align the keyhole slots in the light pan with the loosened screws in the fitter plate. Turn the light pan clockwise and replace the previously removed fitter plate screw. Tighten all screws.
    

14. Remove one of the three light pan screws from the light pan and loosen the other two but do not remove. Connect the 6-pin connector from the light pan to the 6-pin connector from the light kit. Lift the two keyhole slots in the light kit over the two loosened light pan screws and turn in a clockwise direction. Then, use the previously removed light pan screw to secure the light kit to the light pan. Tighten all screws.

3. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
   In warmer weather, push the reverse switch to the left for downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.
   In cooler weather, push the reverse switch to the right for upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
   Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

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 the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Central, Monday – Friday.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, shut off the power supply to a fan before you begin any maintenance tasks.

2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure the forward/reverse switch is pushed completely left or right. The fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle.
2. Fan is noisy:| 1. Make sure all screws in the motor assembly are snug, but not over-tightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the light kit.
4. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5. Ensure the fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
3. Fan wobbles:| 1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to the outlet box and the outlet box is mounted firmly to a ceiling joist.
2. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade balancing kit.
3. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
4. Light does not work:| 1. Check for loose or disconnected 6-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or light kit.
2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
3. Ensure the total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
5. Remote control does not work:| 1. To re-sync wall control to the fan – Switch the power to the fan off and back on again.
Within 30 seconds, press and hold the HIGH SPEED and LOW-SPEED buttons (or the “LEARN” button, located in the battery compartment) for 5 seconds. The fan will turn on at low speed and light off. This confirms the syncing process is successful.
2. Insert new CR2032 batteries in the battery compartment of the wall control.
3. If there are several fans in close proximity, turn the power off to other fans and re-sync the remote (see Corrective Action 1 above).
