SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
• The net weight of this fan is: 14.21 lb.

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” 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. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric 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 and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the fan with any solid-state speed-control device or control the fan speed with a full-range dimmer switch.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
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.

CAUTION: Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on the fan motor assembly to ensure they are secured.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

1. Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the fan supply line leads.
   DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

2. Determine the mounting method to use.
   Standard mounting is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
   Angle mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 16°.
   Closemount installation is more suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
   Flushmount installation is not available for this item.

3. Ensure the blades (M) will be at least 30 in. from any obstructions. Also check the downrod (A) length to ensure the blades (M) will be at least 7 ft. above the floor.

4. Loosen all four preassembled mounting bracket screws (Q), then completely remove the two mounting bracket screws (Q) from the round holes of canopy (D). Set aside for later use. Detach mounting bracket (E) from canopy (D).

5. Attach mounting bracket (E) to outlet box (not included) using screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
   CAUTION: It is very important you use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket (E) as this will support the fan.

6. Remove all ten preassembled motor screws (O) and five preassembled plastic motor blocks from the underside of the motor assembly (G). Discard the motor blocks, but keep the motor screws (O) for later.
   For Standard or Angle Mounting Instructions, continue to page 9. For Closemount Instructions, proceed to page 11.
   

STANDARD OR ANGLE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the downrod clip (C) and downrod pin (B) from the downrod (A). Then partially loosen the set screws (S) in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly (G).

2. Insert the downrod (A) through the canopy (D) and yoke cover (N). Feed the wires from the motor assembly (G) through the downrod (A).

3. Slide the downrod (A) into the yoke of the motor assembly (G), align the holes, then re-install the downrod pin (B) and downrod clip (C). Secure with set screws (S).
   
   STANDARD OR ANGLE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the following manner: Take the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them
   all the way through the top of the downrod. Measure 8 inches of lead wire, then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not included).
   

5. If you decided to cut back the lead wire in Step 4, strip 1/2 in. of insulation from the end of the white wire. Twist the stripped ends of each strand of wire within the insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat this step for black and blue wires.
   Important: If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 4, Step 5 is not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6.

6. Install the ball end of the downrod (A) into the opening of mounting bracket (E). Align one of the four slots in the downrod ball with the tab in the mounting bracket (E).
   Note: The downrod (A) should not rotate if installed correctly.
   DANGER: Failure to align the slot in the downrod (A) with the tab of the mounting bracket (E) could cause the fan to fall, resulting in serious injury or death.
   Proceed to the Wiring on page 12.
   

CLOSEMOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Helpful Hint: The downrod (A), canopy cover (F) and yoke cover (N) are not used in this type of installation.

1. Remove the canopy cover (F) from the bottom of the canopy (D).

2. Remove three Phillips-head closemount screws (P) from the top of the motor assembly (G). Align the canopy (D) with the holes in the top of the motor assembly (G), then re-install the Phillips-head closemount screws (P) to secure the canopy (D) to the top of the motor assembly (G).

3. Raise the fan and place the canopy (D) on the hook on the mounting bracket (E), temporarily leaving hands free for the wiring process.
   

WIRING
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 and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a Ground (Green or Bare) wire is present.

1. Connect household supply and fan wires according to the diagram and these steps:
   • Connect the Green wire from the downrod (A) and mounting bracket (E) to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
   Note: Closemount installation does not use downrod (A), so there will only be two Green wires to connect.
   • Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
   • Connect the Black and Blue wires from the fan to the Black (hot) supply wire.
   • Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors (AA).
   Note: If there is a second hot/power wire coming from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate light and fan control.
   Note: The Black wire is hot power for the fan. The White wire is common for the fan and light kit. The Blue wire is hot power for light. The Green wire is the ground wire. If household supply wires are different colors than referred to above, it is  recommended a professional electrician determines the proper wiring.
   Hardware Used
   

2. Wrap electrical tape (not included) around each individual wire connector down to the wire.

3.  Turn the spliced/taped wires upward and gently push the wires and wire connectors into the outlet box.
   WARNING: Ensure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after making connections. Place the Green and White wire connections on the opposite side of the outlet box from the Black and Blue wire connections.

FINAL INSTALLATION

Note: Closemount installation will not use the downrod (A), yoke cover (N) or canopy cover (F).

1. Align the canopy (D) over the loose mounting bracket screws (Q) preassembled on mounting bracket (E). Place the keyholes of the canopy (D) onto the mounting bracket screws (Q) and rotate the canopy (D) clockwise.
   

2. Secure the canopy (D) with the mounting bracket screws (Q) previously removed (Step 4, page 8). Tighten all mounting bracket screws (Q) securely.
   

3. Partially insert the blade screws (BB) along with the blade washers (CC) through the blade (M) and into the blade arm (L). Tighten each blade screw (BB) with a Phillips screwdriver (not included), starting with the one in the middle.
   Repeat this step for the remaining blades (M) and blade arms (L).
   Hardware Used
   

4. Install the blade arm (L) to the underside of the motor assembly (G) with motor screws (O) previously removed (Step 6, page 8). Tighten with Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for each blade arm (L).

5. Remove the three switch housing screws (T) from the light kit (I). Then connect the single-pin connectors from the switch housing (H) to the single-pin connectors from the light kit (I) — blue to black and white to white.

8. Turn on power supply to the fan.
   Assembly is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF.
   The light pull chain has two positions to control the light, ON and OFF.

2. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the switch  housing (H), to optimize your fan for seasonal performance.
   A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort. Note: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch.
   2a. In warmer weather, push the reverse switch down to display a sun icon, which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.
   2b. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch up to display a snowflake icon, which will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
   Important: The reverse switch must be set either completely up or down in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate (Fig. 2c).
