How to Put Your Ceiling Fan Together

1. Rotate the motor hub to align the hub motor area over each of the five shipping retainers. One by one unscrew each of the five screws and discard screws and shipping retainers (Figure 1).

2. Mount blade flanges to fan blades using three M5 x 6mm washer head blade screws (Figure 2).

NOTE: Take care not to scratch fan housing when installing blades.

3. Loosely attach one blade/flange assembly to the motor hub by securing the two M6 x 14mm captive pan head screws. Make sure the screws are NOT tightened (Figure 3). Repeat this procedure for other four blade assemblies.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade flange when installing the blade flanges, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

4. The blade flanges have an interlocking feature that must be fully engaged before tightening the screw. Make sure all the flanges are properly engaged and then tighten the flange screws. If one of the flanges does not seat properly on the motor hub, loosen the adjacent flange screws, re-engage and reseat the flanges, then tighten the screws again.

5. Remove and retain the three switch housing mounting screws (Figure 4) from the switch housing plate. Engage the connector of the switch housing assembly with the motor connector (Figure 4). The two connectors are keyed and color- coded and must be mated correctly (color-to-color) before they can be engaged. Make sure the connector latch closes properly.

6. Position the switch housing assembly on the switch housing plate and align the holes in the switch housing assembly with the holes in the plate. Secure the switch housing assembly by installing the three M4 x 12mm flat head screws (supplied) (Figure 5).

WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, do not pinch wires between the switch cup assembly and the switch cup plate.

7. Carefully turn partially assembled fan upside down and place in styrofoam form carton, in preparation for final installation.
8. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod (Figure 6). Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 9.

9. Separate, untwist and unkink the three 80” motor leads. Route the motor lead wires through the downrod. Remove the upper setscrew from the motor coupling. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the holes in the motor coupling. Install the clevis pin and secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 7). The clevis pin must go through the holes in the motor coupling and the holes in the downrod. 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. Reinstall the upper setscrew in the motor coupling. Check that the lower setscrew is tightened securely (Figure 7).

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

WARNING

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

10. Make sure the grommet is properly installed in the coupling cover, then slide the coupling cover on the downrod until it rests on the motor housing. Place the ceiling cover over the downrod. Be sure that the ceiling cover and the coupling cover are both oriented correctly (Figure 8).

11. Reinstall the hanger ball (Figure 9) on the downrod as follows. Route the three 80” motor leads 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 and securely tighten the setscrew in the hanger ball. A loose setscrew could create fan wobble.

WARNING

It is critical that the pin in the hanger ball is properly installed and the setscrew securely tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrew are properly installed could result in the fan falling.

12. The fan comes with blue, black and white leads that are 80” long. Before installing fan, measure up approximately 6 to 9-inches above top of hanger ball/downrod assembly. Cut off excess leads and strip back insulation 1/2-inch from end of leads.
13. You have now completed the assembly of your new ceiling fan. You can now proceed with hanging and wiring your fan.

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

WARNING

The fan must be hung with at least 7′ of clearance from floor to blades (Figure 10).

WARNING

The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of supporting at least 50 lbs. Use only a U.L. outlet box listed as “Acceptable for Fan Support”.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support”, and 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.

1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box using the two screws supplied with the outlet box.(Figure 11.)

2. Carefully lift the fan and seat the hanger ball/downrod assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to the outlet box (Figure 12). Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up with tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 11).

WARNING

Hanger bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

WARNING

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

WARNING

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

How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan

If you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.

WARNING

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before attempting installation.

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.

1. Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger bracket to the grounding conductor of supply (this may be a bare wire or wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect wires with wire connectors supplied.

NOTE: If you are using an Emerson Light Fixture with your fan, see Light Fixture Owner’s Manual for wiring.

2. Securely connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied (Figure 13). Securely connect the fan motor black wire and blue wire to the supply black (hot) wire using wire connector supplied (Figure 13). After connections have been made, turn leads upward and carefully push leads into the outlet box, with the green equipment-grounding conductor and white grounded neutral conductor on one side of the outlet box and the black and blue ungrounded conductors on the other side of the outlet box.

WARNING

Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan damage could result.

3. Screw the two threaded studs (supplied) into the tapped holes in the hanger bracket.
4. Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and turn until studs protrude through the holes in the ceiling cover (Figure 14).
5. Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding lockwashers over the threaded studs and installing the two knurled knobs (supplied). (Figure 14). Tighten the knurled knobs securely until the ceiling cover fits snugly against the ceiling and the hole in the ceiling cover is clear of the downrod. Your fan is now wired to be turned on and off from the fan switch.

WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that the electrical wires are completely inside the outlet box and not pinched between the ceiling cover and the ceiling.

6. Cut the 3-speed switch pull chain to a desired length (optional). Connect the die-cast pendant (supplied) to the 3-speed switch pull chain by sliding the die-cast pendant (small hole first) onto the pull chain. Attach the chain coupling to the end of the chain and allow the die-cast pendant to fall down over the coupling.

Using Your Ceiling Fan

1. Restore electrical power to the outlet box by turning the electricity on at the main fuse box.
2. Check the operation of the fan by gently pulling on the pull chain switch.
3. All fans are shipped from the factory with the reversing switch positioned “down” to circulate air downward. If airflow is desired in opposite direction, turn your fan OFF and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch to the “up” position, and turn fan on again.
4. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse the airflow.

Your fan model is equipped with a 4-position, 3-speed pull chain switch. The operating sequence is as follows:

Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location. Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 – 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your Emerson Retailer for optional mounting accessories.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less energy. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan – additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.

WARNING: For your own safety, turn off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before trouble shooting your fan.
