Fan Diagram

Before installing, please check to make sure you have received all the necessary components for installation. Some extra hardware may also have been included.

Installation: Fan Blades

Install the Fan Blades

1. Locate the 6 blade attachment screws included in the hardware pack. Use these screws to firmly attach each blade to the motor hub, as demonstrated in Fig. 1.1.
2. Follow the same procedure for the remaining blades, making sure all screws are tightly secured to ensure a stable installation.

Installation: Mounting Options

Install the Mounting Plate

1. Carefully flip the fan over. Loosen and remove the canopy screws and the mounting plate using a screwdriver. Keep the canopy screws for later use.

2. You have two options for the mounting plate installation. Choose the one that works best for your location.
   WARNING : Before beginning, make sure to turn off the power from the breaker circuit!
   Note : For optimal fan performance, ensure that the mounting plate is level.

3. Option 1 : Secure the mounting plate to a wooden ceiling beam or support structure with an approved electrical outlet box using the ST5x24mm wood screws (included) as shown in Fig. 2.2.

4. Option 2 : Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers to attach the mounting plate to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. If the mounting plate is installed at the outlet box, it should be installed on the outlet box with the screws that came with your outlet box. Pull the supply wires (the black, white, and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate, then set them aside.
   WARNING: DO NOT use a plastic outlet box. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.

Installation: Hanging

Hang the Fan

1. Carefully lift the fan-motor assembly and hang it using the hook of the mounting plate. Securely suspend the motor assembly by using one of the round holes at the outer rim of the motor housing as shown in Fig. 3.1.

Installation: Safety Rope

There are multiple methods to install the safety rope; here are two options for your reference.

Option 1: Refer to Fig. 3.2. Hang the safety rope on the ceiling hook (not included). Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw on the safety rope lock. Pull the safety rope taut and then tighten the screw on the safety rope lock to ensure a firm and secure connection between the safety rope and the ceiling hook. Always double-check to ensure the safety rope is taut.
Option 2 : Refer to Fig. 3.3. Thread a screw, accompanied by a washer (both not included), through the center of the safety rope. Fasten the screw to the ceiling and then loosen the screw on the safety rope lock using a screwdriver. Pull the safety rope taut and then tighten the screw on the safety rope lock to securely anchor the safety rope to the fixed screw on the ceiling. Always double­check to ensure the safety rope is taut.

Note: Installing the ceiling fan with a safety rope is an extra safety feature. It secures the fan to the ceiling hook or other attachment point and prevents the fan from falling even in the case of material failure.
When the safety rope is fixed and installed, it is important to adjust both the length of the wire rope and the screw on the safety rope lock to ensure a secure and tight connection with the fixed object.This step is crucial to prevent the safety rope from accidentally coming off. Improper installation of the safety rope may compromise its effectiveness and lead to potential safety risks. Therefore, it is essential to make sure the safety rope is properly tightened and secured for maximum safety.

Installation: Wiring

Connect the Wiring

• Connect the Green/Yellow wire from the mounting plate to the supply Ground wire using a wire nut.
• Connect the White wire from the motor to the supply White (Neutral) wire using a wire nut. Connect the Black wire from the motor to the supply Black/Red (Hot/Live) wire using a wire nut.
• Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colors as shown in Fig. 4.1. Then, hide the wiring inside the motor housing.

Installation: Securing the Fan

Secure the Fan

1. Reinstall two of the four canopy screws onto the mounting plate (located on opposite sides), but do not fully tighten them yet.
2. With both hands, lift the fan body off of the hook. Ensure that the hook does not interfere with the wires and align the two key slots on top of the motor assembly with the two loosened screws on the mounting plate.
