Safety Information
Warning!
-
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
-
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
-
This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the fasteners provided with the junction box for mounting to the junction box. Most junction 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, & PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO A JUNCTION BOX MARKED “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT”. -
The junction box and support structure MUST be securely mounted to create a level surface within 10° of horizontal and MUST be capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds.
Use only UL listed junction boxes marked ” FOR FAN SUPPORT”. -
After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the junction box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the junction box.
-
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
-
Do not use the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. To prevent damage and ensure long use, the fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing direction.
-
Do not place objects in the path of the blades.
-
Exercise caution when working around or cleaning the fan.
-
Use a soft dry cloth to clean the fan body and blades. Do not use water or detergent.
-
The electrical diagrams provided herein are for reference only. Light kits that are not packaged with the fan must be UL listed and suitable for use with this fan. Switches must be UL general use switches. Refer to their separate instructions for proper assembly.
NEVER BEND THE BLADES FOR ANY REASON.
Preparation
-
Turn off Your Power
Begin installation by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers to the wiring you will be using. Use your compatible UL listed junction box if you already have one installed.
Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death. -
Choose Your Mounting Position
If you need to install a new UL listed junction box, secure it directly to your building’s structure using appropriate fasteners and materials. Do not use plastic boxes. The junction box and its supports must be able to support the MOVING weight of the fan (at least 50 lb.) and be rated for fan support. The junction box should create a level surface for the fan that is not sloped greater than 10 degrees from horizontal in any direction. -
Choose a Suitable Location
Ensure the blades will be at least 30 inches from any obstruction and at least 7 feet above the floor. In locations without a ceiling joist, a hanger support bar may be required. Do not install in damp locations.
Initial Installation
- Pass the supply wires through the central hole of the mounting bracket.
- Secure the bracket to the junction box with appropriate fasteners. For wood or other thinner and weaker ceilings, use the mounting screws and metal or spring washers or use the mounting bolts and star washers, adding plastic anchors (not included) if necessary. For reinforced concrete or similar ceilings, use anchor bolts (not included).
- Remove only two screws from the mounting bracket
Fan Blade Installation
- Fit one blade onto the fan motor assembly, aligning their slots as shown.
- Attach two blade bolts, tightening them to lock the blade in place.
- Repeat for the remaining two blades.
Down rod Mounting
- Remove the pin and clip from the downrod. Then loosen the two locking bolts in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly.
- Remove the 6 screws from the connector and take out the metal washers and screws
- Attach the outer cover to the connector using the removed 6 screws and metal washers
- Carefully place the canopy, canopy cover, and coupling cover onto the downrod. Feed the lead wires from the fan motor through the downrod.
- Install the downrod onto the yoke, aligning the holes, inserting the pin through the downrod, and reinstalling the clip. Then retighten the locking bolts.
- Place the downrod’s mount onto the mounting bracket.
Rotate the entire assembly until the tab has dropped into the mount’s slot and locked firmly into place. The motor assembly should no longer rotate if seated properly.
Circuit Connections(With down rod)
Confirm again that the power has been cut before working with the wiring. Use
the wire nuts provided with your fan.
Ensure there are no loose wires or connections and secure connectors with
electrical tape.
-
Connect the 5 colored wires of the receiver to the 5 identically colored wires of the fan motor assembly.
Secure each set with the attached plugs and sockets. -
Connect the 2 colored wires of the receiver to the 2 identically colored wires of your junction box. Secure each set with the provided wire nuts.
-
Connect the green or bare copper ground wire of the junction box to the ground wire of the fan motor.
Separate the white and green connections from the black wire connections, which should be kept opposite the junction box.
Canopy Installation(With down rod)
- Insert the receiver into the tray of the mounting bracket, allowing it to face the ceiling. For best results, make sure its white antenna remains extended and not tangled with any of the electrical wires.
- Tuck all the connections neatly into the junction box.
- Slide the canopy up to the ceiling mounting bracket and place the key hole slots over the mounting screws or bolts on the bracket. Rotate the canopy until the screw or bolt heads lock in place at the narrow section of the key hole then install the two screws previously removed back into the original hole position and lock.
- Attach the canopy cover to the bottom of the canopy.
No down rod installation
- Loosen the two locking bolts in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly.
- Remove the 6 screws from the connector and take out the metal washers and screws
- Attach the outer cover and Canopy to the connector using the 6 removed screws and metal washers
- Connect the remote control before Mounting the fan over the Mounting Bracket.

Troubleshooting
Potential Problems | Common Solutions |
---|---|
Fan blades don’t rotate | Check fuses and/or circuit breakers and reset if |
needed.
Cut off power to the fan and check its internal electrical connections.
Replace the remote control’s batteries.
Check that the fan cover is correctly placed and no fasteners interfere with
the movement of the blades.
Contact customer service to replace a faulty remote control.
Fan is too noisy| Check that all fasteners are well tightened.
Ensure the canopy housing has a short distance between itself and the ceiling.
Upon initial installation, allow 24 hours of use for the machine to break
itself in.
Cut off power to the fan and check that the wire nut connections are not
rubbing against one another or the inner housing.
If you have installed a solid-state variable-speed control, cut off power to
the fan and disconnect this control from the device. See if using the remote
resolves the problem, which can be caused by erratic signals from such
controls.
Fan wobbles during use| Check that all fasteners are well tightened.
Use the provided blade balancing kit to adjust the blades if their tips are
found to be an unequal distance from the ceiling while well fastened.
Exchange the position of the various blades.
The receiver beeps during the adjustment of the LED light’s brightness or
color temperature| When the light is at its highest brightness or coolest
color temperature, the receiver will beep if you further increase either
value. When the light is at its lowest brightness or warmest color
temperature, the receiver will beep if you further decrease either value. Stop
such further adjustments and the beep will cease. This is normal and needs no
repair.
Contact customer service or a trained technician for inspection, repair, or
replacement of any problematic part.
Again, do not bend the blades during any of these procedures.
