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 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. 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 the 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.

WARNING

To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described in these instructions should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.

How to Assemble Your Ceiling Fan

1. Remove the Clevis Pin, Hairpin Clip, Hanger Ball and Pin by loosening the setscrew in the Hanger Ball. Retain the Clevis Pin, Hairpin Clip, Hanger Ball and Pin for reinstallation. (Figure 1)

2. The fan comes with blue, black, white 80″ wires. Separate and untwist the three wires . Route the wires through the Downrod.
   NOTE: You will be using either the 6″ or the optional downrod purchased separately.

3. 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.

4. Route wires through Motor Coupling Cover and through opening in Canopy Screw Cover and Canopy. Position Canopy Screw Cover and Canopy on fan shown with open side facing up. (Figure 3)

5. Reinstall the Hanger Ball (Figure 1) 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.

6. While pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten the two setscrews in the downrod support. (Figure 2)
   NOTE: The setscrews must be properly installed as described above, or fan-wobble could result.

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

8. Make sure the bottom edge of the blade seats in the external flange of the motor housing (see Blade Mount Detail). Align the 3 holes on top of the blade and the motor housing and securely tighten the screws (3 per blade) provided. (Figure 4)

9. Before installing fan, measure up approximately 6-9 inches above top of the Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly. Cut off excess wire and strip back insulation 1/2″ from end of wire.

10. You have now completed the assembly of your ceiling fan. You can now proceed with the hanging and the electrical wiring of your fan.
    NOTE: All set screws must be checked and re-tightened where necessary before installation.

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. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with the outlet box (Figure 2).
   NOTE: Outlet box screws pass through slotted holes of the hanger bracket (Figure 2).

2. Pull the electric wires in the outlet box down through the opening in the hanger bracket and bend wires up and out of the way so that the hanger ball will easily fit into the hanger bracket.

3. Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to the outlet box (Figure 3). Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up with tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 2).

4. After splicing, the wiring should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.

WARNING

Failure to seat tab in the 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.

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 wiring.
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. Setting the Code: The remote unit has 16 different code combinations. To prevent possible interference from or to other remote units such as garage door openers, car alarm or security systems, simply change the combination code in your transmitter and receiver. To set the code, perform these steps.
   • Transmitter: remove battery cover. Press firmly below arrow and slide the battery cover off. Slide code switches to your choice of up or down position. Factory setting is all up. Do not use this position. With a small screwdriver or ball point pen slide firmly up or down (Figure 1a). Replace battery cover on the transmitter.
   • Receiver: Slide code switches to the same positions as set on your transmitter (Figure 1b).
2. Installing Receiver in Hanger Bracket:
   • Slide Receiver Unit into the Hanger Bracket (Fig 2).
   • Connect wires as indicated: (Figure 3)
   • Green Hanger Bracket and Hanger Ball wires to BARE (ground) wire.

NOTE: If fan or supply wires are different colors than indicated, have this unit installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

• BLACK Receiver Unit wire (AC IN L) to BLACK supply wire.
• WHITE Receiver Unit wire (AC IN N). to WHITE supply wire.
• WHITE Receiver Unit wire (TO MOTOR N) to WHITE fan wire.
• BLACK Receiver Unit wire (TO MOTOR L) to BLACK fan wire.
• BLUE Receiver Unit wire (FOR DOWN LIGHT) to BLUE light wire.

Position all connected wires and receiver antenna to allow installation of ceiling canopy.

• After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
