MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed mounting
box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing
fuses or turning off circuit breakers. Secure the outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The
outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the weight of the fan
(at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes. Figures 1, 2 and 3 are
examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE : If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)
ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between
the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12″ is suggested
for optimal operation.
NOTE : Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you
may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger” for the support of the
outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use
with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)
HANGING THE FAN
NOTE : FOR CANADA, THIS FAN MUST BE SECURED DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING STRUCTURE / CEILING JOIST. DON’T SECURE THIS FAN TO AN OUTLET BOX. (SEE Fig. 6A) REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin. To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cover from the canopy by
turning the cover counter clockwise. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket from the canopy by removing
(and save one of the two screws. Loosen the remaining screw by a half turn.
(Fig. 5)
Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box
through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig. 6)
Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to the outlet box using the
screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)
Step 4A. Secure mounting bracket directly to a joist from the building
structure. Use only the appropriate wood screws lock washers included with
your fan. (Fig. 7) NOTE: THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR CANADA.
CAUTION! THE HANGER BRACKET MUST BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING
JOIST USING THE TWO WOOD SCREWS AND WASHERS PROVIDED. (Fig. 7)
Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening the
set screw, unscrewing and removing removing the cross pin and unscrewing the
ball off the rod. (Fig. 8)
Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and retaining
clip from the coupling on top of the motor assembly. (Fig. 9)
Step 7. Carefully feed the electrical lead wires from the fan up through
the downrod. Thread the downrod into the coupling until the Hitch pin holes
are aligned. Next, replace the hitch pin and retaining clip. Tighten both set
screws. (Fig. 9)
Step 8. Slip the coupling cover, canopy cover and canopy onto the
downrod. (Fig. 10) Thread the hanger ball onto the downrod, insert the cross
pin through the downrod and tighten. Tighten the set screw.
Step 9. Lift the motor assembly into position and place the hanger ball
into the ceiling mounting bracket. Rotate the entire assembly until the “Check
Tab” has dropped into the “Registration Slot” and seats firmly. (Fig. 11) The
entire motor assembly should not rotate (left or right) when seated properly.
WARNING : Failure to reattach the cross pin and seat the “Check Tab” can
cause the fan to fall from the ceiling during operation. Take special care to
make sure this pin is reattached.
INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from
falling.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and washers to the ceiling joist
next to the mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 12)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and
washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall
length is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp,
forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now,
put the loop in the end of the safety cable over the wood screw and under the
washer. Tighten the wood screw securely.
NOTE : Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian
installations only. It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any
installation.
