SAFETY PRECAUTION:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION:

1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut the power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

2. CAUTION: Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.

3. Make sure that all electrical connections are in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and local codes. Hire a licensed electrician if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 2.1m (7 feet) from the floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.

5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 Ibs) or less” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.

6. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.

7. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only U.L. listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 Ibs) or less”.

8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling

9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.

10. To change the direction of the rotation of the blades the fan must be in operation mode.

11. All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.

12. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade bracket when installing the brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

13. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical supply circuit to the fan before installing the light kit.

14. 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.

15. The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Conductor wiring identified as grounded is to be connected to a grounded conductor of power supply. Conductor wiring identified as an ungrounded conductor is to be connected to an ungrounded conductor. Conductor wiring identified for equipment grounding is to be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.

16. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
    (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
    (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this fan must be installed with general use, isolating wall control/switch.
    WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

Product instruction:

Installation:
Disassembling the Motor Components:
1.1 Take the motor components out of the box, use a screwdriver to loosen the screws, and remove the mounting bracket. Save screws for later use.
1.2 After taking out the light kit, loosen the screws and remove the lamp panel. Save screws for later use. Motor Installation:
2.1 Fasten the mounting bracket with the setscrews to the wooden ceiling beam as shown in Fig 2.1.
2.2 Hang the motor assembly to the mounting bracket through the screw hole of the mounting bracket as shown in Fig 2.2.

2.3 Confirm the wire plug of the motor connecting to the wire plug of the Adapter. The Green/Yellow wire from the bracket connects with the supply Ground wire using the wire nut. Connect the White wire of the Adapter to the supply White (Neutral) wire using a wire nut, and connect the Black wire of the Adapter to the supply Black (Hot/Live) wire using a wire nut. Then hide them and the Adapter into the motor assembly. (Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colors as shown in Fig 2.3.)
2.4 Secure the motor assembly to the mounting bracket with the screws that are taken out previously as shown in Fig 2.4. Fan Blade Installation:
3.1 Use a screwdriver to fasten the 3 blades to the motor head securely.

Installing the Lamp Panel, Light Kit, and Lampshade:
4.1 Feed the lamp wire connector from the lamp panel fixing plate of the motor assembly through the center hole of the lamp panel. Align the screw holes of the lamp panel with the screw holes of the fixing plate and fasten the panel to the motor plate with screws taken out previously as shown in Fig 4.1.
4.2 Allow the connector to come through the light kit. Install the light kit and the light kit is magnetically attracted to the lamp panel with the help of a magnet. Insert the lamp wire connector to the light kit terminal block as shown in Fig 4.2.
4.3 Rotate the lampshade clockwise until it locks into the motor assembly tightly as shown in Fig 4.3.

Warning:
The fan blade must have a minimum clearance of 7.55 feet (2.3 meters) from the ground and a minimum clearance of 3.28 feet (1 meter) from the wall. Installation is now complete.
