Tools & Materials Required 

Installation

WARNING: To avoid serious injury or death, turn off the power at the circuit breaker before installing the fan.

Disassemble the Motor

1. Take the motor assembly out of the box, use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the canopy screws and the mounting plate. Save the canopy screws for later use.
2. Rotate and take out the motor hub cover as shown in Fig. 1.2.

Install the Mounting Plate
You have two options for mounting plate installation. Pick which one works best for your location.
WARNING: Turn off the power from the breaker circuit first!
Note: For better fan performance, make sure the mounting plate is level.

• Option 1: Fasten the mounting plate with the ST5x24 wood screws (included) when securing to the wooden ceiling beam or support structure with an approved electrical outlet box as shown in Fig. 2.1.
• Option 2: Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing 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 itself. Pull the supply wires (the black, white and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate and lay them to the side.

WARNING: DO NOT use the plastic outlet box. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.

Hang the Fan
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.

Connect the Wiring

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

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

• Option 1: Refer to Fig. 4.2. 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. 4.3. 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.

Secure the Fan

1. Reinstall two of the four canopy screws (located across from each other) that were removed in step 1 to the mounting plate, but DO NOT tighten them yet.
2. Using both hands, lift the fan body from the hook. Align the two key slots in the top of the motor assembly with the two loosened screws on the mounting plate.
3. Push the fan motor assembly up and turn it counterclockwise to lock in the mounting plate. Tighten the two screws. Reinstall the other two canopy screws into the remaining two holes and tighten the four screws firmly.
   WARNING: Falling fan hazard, make sure all screws are tightened to secure the fan motor assembly.

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. 6.1.
2. Follow the same procedure for the remaining blades, making sure all screws are tightly secured to ensure a stable installation.

Reinstall the Motor Hub Cover
Rotate the motor hub cover until it locks back to the motor shaft tightly.
