SAFETY TIPS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.
The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL (Canada) or ETL (USA) listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be CETL (Canada) or ETL (USA) listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be CETL (Canada) or ETL (USA) general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]
Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop. [Note: If using remote control with reverse capability, reverse fan blade direction only when on LOW speed.]
Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

Installation Preparation.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction. This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square feet (37.2 square meters).
Dimension

This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The hanging length can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter). After installing hanging bracket, continue to Section 5 on page 4 for those instructions. This fan can also be mounted as a flus mount on a regular (no-slope) ceiling. After installing hanging bracket, continue to Section 6 on page 6 for those instructions.
Installation Preparation

Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape

Hanging Bracket Installation.

Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker panel and be sure operating light switch is turned to the OFF position.

WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury.

Remove existing fixture.

WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure outlet box is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support.” If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Installation Instruction

CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present.

Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box.* If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket towards high point of ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and away from the bracket opening.

*Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.

Fan Assembly. (cont.)

With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box and able to support the fan, you are now ready to hang your fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands. Slide downrod through opening in hanging bracket and let hanging ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn the hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging bracket tab.

WARNING: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with tab in hanging bracket may result in serious injury or death. Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once you are set on the ladder.

Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be necessary to use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable. The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit over the threads on the wood screw. Test safety cable by pulling on loose end with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area

Note: Yoke cover is not used with this type of installation.

Remove and set aside canopy cover to reveal 6 holes. Notice that 3 holes are larger than the others.

There are 6 screws in top of motor housing, remove every other screw and lock washer. Thread wiring through canopy. Place canopy over yoke, aligning larger holes in canopy with the 3 existing screws in top of motor housing. Insert the 3 screws and 3 lock washers that were removed into the remaining holes. Securely tighten these screws.

To prepare the fan for wiring, hang fan onto hanging bracket by sliding the canopy over the hanging bracket tab. (Use one of the non-slotted holes on the rim of the canopy to do so.)

Wiring.

CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.

Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions below, please use a qualified electrician.

Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut to the desired length and then stripped.

When fan is secured in place on the hanging bracket, electrical wiring can be made as follows: Connect BLACK and BLUE wires from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling. Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling. Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling. Use wire connectors provided when making connections.

If you intend to control the fan light with a separate light switch connect BLUE wire from fan to the BLACK (or RED) supply from the independent switch.

Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
