Tools and Materials Required

Product instruction

Installation

Disassembling the Motor Assembly
Take the motor assembly out of the box and then remove the light kit by rotating counterclockwise.
Save the light kit for later use.

Installing the Fan Blades

Align two blade holes with the screw holes of the motor head and fasten blades with the blade screws as shown in Fig 2.1.
Repeat for the remaining blades.
The installation of the blades is shown in the Fig 2.2.

Installing the Light Kit

1. Feed the light pin wire and the safety rope through center hole of the light kit. Rotate the light kit clockwise to lock the inner thread inside the middle hole of the light kit with the outer thread of the motor shaft.After that,one of four slots in the middle hole of the light kit should be aligned with the slot of the motor shaft.
2. Insert the light pin wire plug into the light kit terminal block. Join the half slot of light kit and half slot of motor shaft by tightening the light kit screw.

Attaching the Downrod

1. Assemble downrod as pictured in Fig.4.1.
2. Feed the motor pin wire and safety rope through the downrod. Install four downrod screws (in screw package), securely tightening down to ensure proper connection.(See Fig 4.2.1& 4.2.2)
   Slide the wiring cover down until it rests on top of the motor assembly. (See Fig 4.2.3)

Installing the Mounting Bracket

Install the mounting bracket to the ceiling box, as shown in Fig 5.1 below.Rotate the mounting bracket in different directions so that the bracket mounting holes match the screw holes of the ceiling box.
NOTE: This mounting bracket is a standard cable box. If the mounting bracket is installed at the outlet box, it should be installed on the outlet box with two screws matching the outlet box itself, as shown in Fig 5.1.
NOTE: DO NOT use plastic outlet box. Use only U.L.listed outlet boxes marked”Acceptable for Fan
Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs ) or less”. This bracket can also be mounted to the wooden ceiling beam, and then the four ST5x24 screws can be used to lock the corresponding holes on the left and right sides of the bracket.
NOTE: The wooden ceiling beam must meet the tensile test of 30KG for installation, as shown in Fig 5.2. It is also possible to install the mounting bracket directly to the concrete ceiling and install four screws (not included) to the left and right corresponding holes of the bracket to lock the ceiling.

If you have an angled or vaulted ceiling: (Fig 5.3)

1. When installing the mounting bracket, the bracket groove is upward.
2. You will need a longer downrod.
3. The maximum angle is 27 degree.

Hanging Ceiling Fan & Installing Power Adapter & Wiring the Fan

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and there are no visible bare wires at the wire nuts (except for the ground wire).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
WARNING: To avoid any electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off the main fuse box before wiring.
Install the ball end of the downrod into the opening of the mounting bracket. Rotate the downrod until the tab in the mounting bracket is seated in the slot in the downrod ball as shown in the enlarged image of Fig 6.1 Attach the other end of the safety rope to a safe place.
WARNING: The fan and/or downrod should not rotate in the mounting bracket if installed correctly. Failure to align the slot in the downrod ball with the tab on the mounting bracket may result in fan falling causing serious injury or death.

Slide the Adapter inside the bracket and connect the DC output wire connector plug of the adapter with the motor pin wire connector which through the downrod as shown in Fig 6.3. Make sure all wires are tucked in the canopy. Connect the input wires of the adapter to the supply wires.
IMPORTANT: After the connections have been made, the connected wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
WARNING: Slide the adapter horizontally into the bracket in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig 6.2 below, and the flat side facing the ceiling. Note that the upper patterns of the mounting bracket correspond to the two sides of the adapter’s push-in.
NOTE: DO NOT stand upright (as shown in Fig 6.4) or place the adapter incorrectly(as shown in Fig 6.5) otherwise the adapter cannot be inserted into the bracket, which will affect the wiring.
NOTE: The Green/Yellow wire from 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, connect the Black wire of the Adapter to the supply Black (Hot/Live) wire using a wire nut. Then hide them inside the ceiling. (Make sure all the wires are connected to the correct colors as shown in Fig 6.3)

Installing the Canopy

There are two kinds of canopies and two ways to install them. You may receive one of them. Please follow the below instructions before installation.

A: The screws of the mounting bracket are exposed.
Make sure all wires are tucked in the canopy. Raise the canopy to the mounting bracket, align the hole slots in the canopy with the two mounting bracket screws, then turn the canopy in the direction of the arrow in Fig A until the mounting brackets screws engage from the bigger slots of the canopy to the smaller ones. Then secure the canopy to the mounting bracket by tightening the screws.
B: The screws of the mounting bracket are not exposed.
Make sure all wires are tucked in the canopy. Raise the canopy to the mounting bracket, align the two screws into the slot inside the canopy, and rotate and twist the canopy to lock into place according to the direction symbol/arrow.

Installing the Light Shade

Align the light shade slot with the slot of light kit pan, and turn it clockwise to lock it tightly.
(See Fig8.1) The light shade installed. (See Fig 8.2)
