When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. Use AC 120V/60HZ power supply only.

2. Before installing this fan make sure the outlet box is properly installed to the house structure. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to an outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support.(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)

3. Use a metal outlet box suitable for fan support and use only the screws provided with the outlet box (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching the fan to the outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member ( a loose box will cause the fan to wobble).

4. install the mounting bracket onto the outlet box. Partially loosen the two screws on the outlet box, and attach the mounting bracket onto the outlet box by sliding it over the two screws as shown in the illustration. Have the mounting bracket in position and tighten the set screws.

5. Partially loosen downrod set screws from the yoke at the top of the motor assembly. Remove the preassembled cross pin and keeper pin from the downrod. Keep parts.

6. Place downrod over the canopy, canopy bottom cap, and yoke cover. Thread lead wires and safety cable from the motor assembly through the downrod.

7. Slip downrod into motor housing yoke, aligning holes, and install cross pin and keeper pin. Insert the cross pin through the yoke and downrod until the point appears on the other side, and insert the keeper pin on the cross pin. Pull the downrod up tight against the cross pin, and then evenly tighten the downrod set screws on the motor housing yoke. Place yoke cover on top housing of the fan.

   • Warning : Cross pin and keeper pin must be installed securely, failure to install them will result in serious injury.

8. Install the ball end of the downrod into the mounting bracket opening. Align (engage) slot on the ball with tab on the mounting bracket.

   • Important : If using the angle mount, make sure to open the end of the mounting bracket is installed facing the higher point of the ceiling and make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 20º. Longer downrodmay be necessary allowing the fan blades to rotate without obstructions.

9. Safety cable must be installed into the house structure using 3” lag screws, washers, and lock washers provided, required for outdoor applications and in Canada (All fans installed in Canada), and for USA fan and light kit combinations over 35 lbs.
   Make sure that when the safety cable is fully extended the lead wires are longer than the cable and no stress is placed on the lead wires.
