Secure Safety Cable

1. Secure safety cable from downrod to tab on mounting bracket with thumb screw.
2. Some local safety codes require ceiling fans to be secured directly to the building structure (Canada, Singapore). Check your local safety code if you are unsure. Contact Customer Service for help. If required, loop provided safety cable through safety cable from downrod and route other end to building structure.

Anchor Hook

Wrap upper end of safety cable around anchor hook. Secure with shackle.

Building Structure

• Wrap upper end of safety cable around building structure. Secure with shackle.
• Acceptable building structures include a wooden beam or a metal mounting brace secured between two beams.
• In some cases it may be necessary to install additional structural material to provide attachment points.

Secure Wiring Cover

Slide wiring cover up downrod, aligning yellow arrow stickers so that top of wiring cover sits fl ush with mounting bracket. Make sure all wiring is tucked into wiring cover, and then twist wiring cover clockwise to lock.Needed for sloped ceiling installations only

Install Airfoils

1. Slide airfoils into slots on sides of motor unit. Install each airfoil on opposite side of fan from previous airfoil to prevent fan from tilting. Make sure numbered sticker on each airfoil matches corresponding slot number on bottom of fan. Ensure all airfoils are fully seated in slots before tightening bolts on bottom of fan.
2. Tighten the six airfoil screws on bottom of fan according to numbered sequence. When finished, repeat tightening sequence. Verify all six screws are fully tightened by making sure the tabs next to holes 1 and 5 are flush with the openings.

• Use only light kit model 008550. Light Kit Weight: 2.2 lb (998 g)

Secure Guy Wires (Outdoor Fans*)

Attach eye bolts to mounting structure so that guy wires will be approximately 45° from downrod when viewed from the side and approximately 90° from each other when viewed from above. Route each guy wire through a cable hanger, through the eye bolt, and back through the hanger. Evenly cinch all four guy wires into place using hangers. Do not tighten hangers until all guy wires are installed. Side View

0–10 V Wiring (for fans ordered with 0–10 V option)
The fan and light are programmed for sinking 0–10 V control by default. To change to sourcing control, contact Customer Service or visit bigassfans.com/support

• When the fan is wired for 0–10 V control, all other fan controls, including the remote control and mobile app, are disabled.
•  Input signal is job dependent and could be a 0–10 V wall dimmer or automation controller supplying a 0–10 V signal.
•  Use solid or stranded wire: 20–14 AWG / 0.518–2.08 mm2
•  The number of fans that can be daisy chained depends on the 0–10 V controller load. We do not recommend daisy chaining more than ten fans to one controller.

 Install controller(s)

Fans wired for 0–10 V control require two separate 0–10 V channels for light and fan control. For full functionality, two wall controllers are required, or one automation
controller with multiple 0–10 V channels is required. Consult the instructions included with the wall controller or automation controller you are installing for product specific wiring diagrams and specifications. Make sure each controller has a maximum current capacity of 2 mA or higher.

 Wire fan

Universal Mount Fans: Route 0–10 V wiring into downrod and connect to 0–10 V wires on motor unit before securing downrod to fan (Universal Mount steps 2 and 3).
Flush Mount Fans: Route 0–10 V wiring through mounting plate and connect to 0–10 V wires on motor unit after hanging fan (Flush Mount step 3).

•  If the 0–10 V wiring is not connected for the light, the light will default to full brightness. If you want the light to remain off at all times, insert both light 0–10 V input channel wires into the same Light wire connector.

Removing Covers and Light Kit
Use a long, thin object such as a small allen wrench or pen tip to press tab on wiring cover, light kit, or lower cover. While pressing tab, turn cover or light kit counterclockwise and slide down to remove.
