SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before you begin installing the fan, shut the power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

• Make sure that all electrical connections are by National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and local codes. Hire a licensed electrician if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

• Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 2.1 m (7 feet) from the floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.

• The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less”.

• Before and after you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.

• Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.

• To change the direction of the rotation of the blades, the fan must be in operation mode.

• All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.

• After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.

• The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Conductor wiring identified as grounded is to be connected to a grounded conductor of power supply. Conductor wiring identified as an ungrounded conductor is to be connected to an ungrounded conductor. Conductor wiring identified for equipment grounding is to be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.

Installation Instructions

Installation: Fan Blades

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

1. Install the Fan Blades
   

2. Locate 15-blade attachment screws in the hardware pack. Secure each blade to the blade bracket using blade screws as shown in Fig 1.1.

3. Fig 1.2 is the schematic diagram of the installed fan blade bracket. Repeat these steps for the remaining blades. Make sure all the screws are firmly tightened.

Install the Blade Brackets

• Fix the prepared blade bracket to the motor housing with the blade bracket screws as shown in Fig 2.1.
• Five blade brackets were installed.

Disassemble the Light Set

• Remove the light assembly out of the box and turn the lampshade counterclockwise to disassemble it as shown in Fig 3.1, and then remove the LED light kit out of the light kit pan directly as light kit is fixed by magnetic attraction.
• The light assembly after disassembly is shown in Fig 3.2.

Install the Light Kit Pan & Light Kit

• Remove three screws from the light kit plate of the motor housing.
• Feed the light pin wire and safety rope through centre hole of the light kit pan. Attach the light kit pan to the light kit plate of the motor housing. Reinstall the screws that were removed. Make sure all the screws are firmly tightened.
• Allow the light pin wire and safety rope to come through the light kit. Reinstall the light kit. The light kit is magnetically attracted to the pan with the help of magnets. Insert the light wire connector plug to the light kit terminal block.

Install the Fan Bucket

• Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the canopy screws and the mounting plate. Save the canopy screws for later use.
• Pull out the control box and adapter out of the fan bucket, locate 6 bucket setscrews in the hardware pack, and secure the fan bucket to the motor housing with the screws. Make sure all screws are firmly tightened.
• Put the control box and adapter together back into the fan bucket as shown in Fig 5.3.

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 setscrews (included) when securing to the wooden ceiling beam or support structure with an approved electrical outlet box as shown in Fig 6.1.
• Option 2: Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing 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 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”.

Wiring

Hang the Fan
Carefully lift the fan motor assembly. Hang the motor assembly on the hook of the mounting plate by utilizing one of the holes at the outer rim of the motor housing so that it is securely suspended.

Connect the Wiring

• Connect the wire plug of the motor to the wire plug of the adapter and confirm the connection is secure.
• The Green/Yellow wire from the mounting plate connects with the supply Ground wire using the wire nut.
• Connect the White wire of the Adapter to the supply White (Neutral) wire using a wire nut, and connect the Black wire of the Adapter to the supply Black/Red (Hot/Live) wire using a wire nut.
• Then hide them and the adapter inside the motor housing. (Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colours as shown in Fig 8.1)
• Attach the other end of the safety rope to a safe place.

Securing The Fan

• Reinstall two of the four canopy screws (located across from each other) that were removed in step 5 to the mounting plate, but DO NOT tighten them yet.
• Using both hands, lift the fan body from the hook. While making sure the hook is not in the way of the adapter, align the two key slots in the top of the motor assembly with the two loosened screws on the mounting plate.
• 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.

Troubleshooting

Try these troubleshooting steps before contacting Customer Service. For additional operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information, please contact our customer service center.

Care & Cleaning

1. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
2. Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discolouration or tarnishing.
3. (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
4. (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

DO NOT:

1. Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
2. Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
   WARNING: Power off the fan before performing maintenance or cleaning the fan.
