Electrical and Structural Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load of at least 22.7 kgs (50 lbs). Figure 1 depicts different structural configurations that may be used for mounting the outlet box.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs) or less. Use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.

WARNING

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.

How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

1. Prior to assembly, set aside and save the hardware bag(s) packed in the packing.

2. Remove the Hanger Ball by loosening the setscrew in the Hanger Ball until the ball falls freely down the Downrod. (Figure 1) Remove the Pin from the Downrod, then remove the Hanger Ball. Retain the Pin and Hanger Ball for reinstallation in Step 8.

3. The fan comes with blue, black, gray and white 80″ wires. Separate and untwist the wires. Route the wires through the Downrod.

NOTE: You will be using either the 6″ downrod supplied with your fan or an optional downrod purchased separately.

4. Position Fan/Motor Assembly on styrofoam pedestal, for ease of assembly.

5. Loosen the two setscrews in the Downrod Support. Align the Clevis Pin holes in the Downrod with the holes in the Downrod Support. Install the Clevis Pin and secure with the Hairpin Clip. (Figure 2) Be sure to push the straight leg of the hairpin clip through the hole near the end of the clevis pin until the curved portion of the hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin. The hairpin clip must be properly installed to prevent the clevis pin from working loose. Pull on the Downrod to make sure the clevis pin is properly installed. (Figure 2)

6. Route wires through opening in Motor Coupling Cover. Position Motor Coupling Cover on fan shown with open side facing down. (Figure 2)

7. Route wires through opening in Canopy. Position Canopy on fan shown with open side facing up. (Figure 3)

8. Reinstall the Hanger Ball (Figure 3) on the Downrod as follows. Route the three 80″ wires through the Hanger Ball. Position the Pin through the two holes in the Downrod and align the Hanger Ball so the Pin is captured in the groove in the top of the Hanger Ball. Pull the Hanger Ball up tight against the pin. Securely tighten the setscrew in the Hanger Ball. A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.

WARNING

It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support is properly installed and the setscrews are securely tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews are properly installed could result in the fan falling.

9. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the two 3/16-24 x 3/8″ setscrews in the downrod support. (Figure 2)

NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as described above, or fan-wobble could result.

10. Slide the Motor Coupling Cover down until it touches the top of the Housing. (Figure 3)

11. The fan comes with blue, black, gray and white leads. Before installing fan, measure up approximately 6-9 inches above top of Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly. Cut off excess wire and strip back insulation ½” from end of wire.

12. You have now completed the assembly of your new ceiling fan. You can now proceed with the hanging and the electrical wiring of your fan.

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

WARNING

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be grounded for safe operation.

WARNING

The fan must be hung with at least 7′ of clearance from floor to blades (Figure 1)

WARNING

The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load of at least 50 lbs. Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the outlet box is recessed, remove wallboard until bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

1. Using the ⅜” x 2″ lag bolt and flat washer, attach safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member. The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety cable loop, the junction box and into the building structure (Figure 2). You will first drill a ¼” pilot hole into the building structure to prevent splitting or cracking.

2. Securely attach the hanger bracket to ceiling junction box acceptable for ceiling support.

NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to junction box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling joist or structural member using the ⅜” x 2″ lag bolt and flat washer. (Figure 2).

3. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable are pulled through the downrod, between the hanger bracket and the junction box so that electrical connections can be made later.

4. Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to the ceiling joist. Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up with tab on the hanger bracket. (Figure 3)

5. Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable. Slide cable clamp onto safety cable (from fan). Place the end of cable through the loop of ceiling support cable. Pull as much cable through loop as possible. Feed end of cable into clamp hole and firmly tighten screw (Figure 3). Cut off excess safety cable.

WARNING

Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.

WARNING

To avoid possible shock, do not pinch wires between the downrod/hanger ball assembly and the hanger bracket.
