Net weight of fan: 12.90 lb (5.85 kg)

SAFETY TIPS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.
The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” 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.
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 or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be CUL (Canada) or UL (USA) general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the fan, including the blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.] (Note: This fan is suitable for use with remote control.)
Do not operate the fan in reverse until fan has come to a complete stop.
Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. Dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

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.
WARNING: This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable provided may result in personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.

NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

Unpacking Your Fan.

Carefully open the packaging. Remove items from Styrofoam inserts. Remove motor housing and place on carpet or Styrofoam to avoid damage to the finish. Do not discard fan cartons or Styrofoam inserts should this fan need to be returned for repairs.
Check against parts inventory that all parts have been included.

Parts Inventory.

a. hanging bracket. 1 piece
b. motor housing. 1 piece
c. motor assembly. 1 pieced.
d. blade arm. 5 pieces
e. blade. 5 pieces
f. hardware packs

IMPORTANT REMINDER: You must use the parts provided with this fan for proper installation and safety.

Installation Preparation.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7ft. (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square feet (37.2 square meters). This fan can be mounted as a flush mount on a regular (no-slope) ceiling only. Downrod installations are not available for this fan.

Hanging Bracket Installation.

Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure the operating light switch is turned to the OFF position. [Refer to diagram 1.] WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury. Remove existing fixtures.
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. Remove 4 motor mounting nuts and flat washers from hanging bracket–save for later use. [Refer to diagram 2.] Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box. Install rubber cushions between outlet box and hanging bracket (if not already pre-attached to hanging bracket) to reduce vibration of metal to metal surfaces. Pull electrical wiring from outlet box through the center hole in the hanging bracket. [Refer to diagram 3.] Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.

Preparation for Wiring.

Lift motor assembly to hanging bracket and slide slot at one end of motor assembly over j-hook on hanging bracket. This will allow the motor assembly to hang out of the way while wiring.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once you are set on the ladder.
Find a secure attachment point (wood ceiling joist highly recommended) and secure safety cable. It will be necessary to use a heavy-duty wood screw, washer, and lock washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop. If necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the safety cable. The loop at the end of the safety cable should just fit over the threads on the wood screw. Test safety cable by pulling on the loose end of the cable with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the loop must be adjusted tighter. Extra cable slack can be left in the ceiling area.

Wiring.

WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure switch is turned to the OFF position.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to below, please use a qualified electrician.
When fan is secured in place on the hanging bracket, electrical wiring can be made as follows:
Connect BLACK wire from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.
Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.
Since this fan does not come with a light kit, you will need to cap off the BLUE wire with a wire connector (as shown with arrow in the diagram at right).
[Note: If you elect to purchase a light kit for the fan, the BLUE wire from the fan must be connected to the BLACK wire from the ceiling instead.] * Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
This fan is remote control adaptable (remote control sold separately).

Fan Assembly.

Remove motor assembly from j-hook on hanging bracket. Lift motor assembly to hanging bracket and carefully push wiring and wire connectors into the outlet box. Align holes in top of the motor assembly with bolts in hanging bracket and push up so that bolts come through holes. Secure motor assembly with flat washers and motor mounting nuts that were previously removed (refer to page 4, Section 4).
WARNING: It is extremely important to tighten motor mounting nuts completely so that fan is mounted securely.

Motor Housing Assembly.

Temporarily raise motor housing to hang bracket to determine which 2 screws in hanging bracket align with slotted holes on the top rim of the motor housing. Partially loosen the 2 screws in the hanging bracket that correspond to slotted holes in the motor housing. Remove the other 2 screws from the hanging bracket.
Now, raise motor housing to hang bracket again, allowing slotted holes in motor housing to align with loosened screws in the hanging bracket. Twist motor housing to lock. Re-insert the 2 screws that were previously removed and then tighten all screws to secure motor housing.

Blade Assembly.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble the blades. If screws are overtightened, blades may crack and break.
Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set on each blade screw prior to installing blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and washers in one of the hardware packs. Hold blade arm up to blade and align holes. Insert 3 blade attachment screws (along with washers) with fingers first and then tighten screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure for the remaining blades. Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from the underside of the motor. If plastic motor locks are installed with blade arm screws, discard plastic motor locks (save blade arm screws and lock washers to secure blade arms). Align blade armholes with motor screw holes and attach blade arm with lock washers and blade arm screws. Before securing screws permanently, repeat this procedure with the remaining blade arms.
Secure all screws.
NOTE: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.

Testing Your Fan.

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing installation. Restore power from the circuit box and light switch (if applicable). Test fan speeds with the pull chain. Start at the OFF position (no blade movement). First, pull will set the fan to HI. The second pull will set the fan to MEDIUM. The third pull will set the fan to LOW. The fourth pull will again set the fan to the OFF setting (diagram 1). If fan does not function, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section to solve any issues before contacting Customer Service.
Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse switch. Set the reverse switch to recirculate air depending on the season:
– DOWN position in summer (diagram 2)
– UP position in winter (diagram 3)
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.
Important: Reverse switch must be set either completely UP or completely DOWN for fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position (diagram 4), fan will not operate.
Attach pull chain extension supplied or custom pull chain extension (sold separately) to end of the pull chain.

Troubleshooting.

WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to troubleshooting any wiring issues may result in serious injury.

Problem: Fan fails to operate.
Solutions:

Check wall switch to fan.
Verify that the reverse switch is set completely in either direction.
Check to be sure the fan is wired properly.

Problem: Fan wobbles.
Solutions:

Use the balancing kit provided in one of the hardware packs. If no blade balancing kit is provided, please call Customer Support, at 1-800-486-4892, to request one.
Carefully loosen motor housing and verify that the mounting bracket is secure.
Check to be sure motor housing is turned completely and that motor housing screws are secure.
