Installation Preparation
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76 cm) from any wall or obstruction. This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square feet (37.2 square meters). Installation requires these tools: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape. This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The hanging length can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter). Other installation, such as flush mount, is not available for this fan.
Hanging Bracket Installation
Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker panel and be sure operating light switch is turned to the OFF position. WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury. Remove existing fixture. WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure outlet box is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support.” If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury. CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is grounded properly and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present. Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box.* If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket towards high point of ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and away from the hanging nbracket opening.
Fan Assembly
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from underside of motor in order to
remove blue motor stabilization plate. (Blue motor stabilization plate may be
discarded once removed.) [Refer to diagram 1.] Remove hanging ball from
downrod provided by loosening set screw on hanging ball. Lower hanging ball
and remove stop pin and then slide hanging ball off of the downrod. [Refer to
diagram 2.] Loosen yoke set screws and nuts at top of motor housing. Remove
pin and clip from motor housing yoke. [Refer to diagram 3.] Tip: To prepare
for threading electrical wires through downrod, apply a small piece of
electrical tape to the ends of the electrical wires–this will keep the wires
together when threading them through the downrod. [Refer to diagram 3.]
Determine the length of downrod you wish to use. Thread safety cable and
electrical wires through threaded end of downrod and pull extra wire slack
from the upper end of the downrod. [Refer to diagram 3.] Thread downrod into
the motor housing yoke until holes for pin and clip in downrod align with
holes in yoke–make sure wires do not get twisted. Re-insert pin and clip that
were previously removed. Tighten yoke set screws and nuts securely. [Refer to
diagram 3.] Locate canopy cover in hardware pack. Slide yoke cover, canopy
cover and canopy over downrod. [Refer to diagram 4.] (Note: Canopy cover must
be turned with shiny side toward the motor housing.)
Thread safety cable and wires through hanging ball and then slide hanging ball
over downrod–the top of the downrod should be noted as having a set screw
hole; use this hole when setting the set screw. Insert stop pin into top of
downrod and raise hanging ball. Be sure stop pin aligns with slots on the
inside of the hanging ball. Tighten set screw securely. [Refer to diagram 5.]
WARNING: Failure to tighten set screw (on hanging ball) completely could
result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling. With the hanging
bracket secured to the outlet box and able to support the fan, you are now
ready to hang your fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands. Slide downrod
through opening in hanging bracket and let hanging ball rest on the hanging
bracket. Turn the hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging bracket
tab. WARNING: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with tab in hanging
bracket may result in serious injury or death.

Securely tighten all screws.
Switch Housing Assembly
Remove 3 screws from outer edge of switch housing plate (save screws for later use). Remove 1 screw from fitter plate on underside of motor housing and partially loosen the other 2 screws. Align slotted holes in center of switch housing plate with loosened screws in fitter plate, allowing male plug from motor housing to come through hole in middle of switch housing plate. Twist switch housing plate to lock. Re-insert screw that was removed and secure all screws. Connect male plug from motor housing to female plug from switch housing, matching up the colors on the male plug with the colors on the female plug for correct fit. Make sure plugs connect tightly. Align holes in switch housing with holes in switch housing plate. Re-insert screws that were previously removed and use a Phillips screwdriver to secure all screws ![CRAFTMADE-SAP62-Supreme-Air-fig-9]](https://manuals.plus/wp- content/uploads/2022/05/CRAFTMADE-SAP62-Supreme-Air-fig-9.png)
Testing Your Fan
