SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code Hire an electrician or consult a do-it-yourself handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum of 7 feet from the blades to the floor and at least 30 inches from the tip of the blades to any obstruction.
• The weight of the fan is 20.35 pounds.

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure it is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.
WARNING:  To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a humming sound from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” 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. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric 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 and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
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.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan assembly ensure they are secured.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly and tighten all screws on the fan. Clean the motor housing and blades with a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Important: Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance task. Do NOT use water or a damp cloth to clean the fan.

PREPARATION

Before beginning the assembly of this product, ensure all parts are present. Compare all parts with the package contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.
Estimated assembly time: 2 hours

Tools required (not included): Electrical tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Safety Glasses, Step Ladder, and Wire Strippers.

1. Turn off power to the fan at the breaker box and the wall switch (Figure 1.1). DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

2. Choose one of the following mounting options (Figure 1.2)
   Standard Mount – best suited for ceilings 8 feet or higher. For very high ceilings, use a longer downrod (not included).
   Angle Mount – best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. Ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 16 degrees.
   Flushmount Installation – not available for this model.
   Closemount Installation – best suited for ceilings 8 feet or lower.

3. Choose a suitable location – Ensure the blades will be at least 30 inches from any obstructions. Also check the downrod length to ensure the blades will be at least 7 feet above the floor (Figure 1.3).

STANDARD OR ANGLE MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the downrod clip and downrod pin from the downrod. Then partially loosen the set screws in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly (Figure 3.1).
2. Feed the fan wires through the yoke cover, canopy and downrod (Figure 3.2).
3. Slide the downrod into the yoke of the motor assembly. Align holes and reinstall the downrod pin and downrod clip and secure with the set screws (Figure 3.3).
4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may want to cut the fan wires to simplify wiring. After pulling the wires all the way through the downrod, measure 8 inches of wire. Cut off the excess wire using wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of each wire strand (Figure 3.4).
5. Install the ball end of the downrod into the opening of the mounting bracket (Figure 3.5). WARNING: Failure to align the slot in the ball with the tap on the mounting bracket may cause the fan to fall, which could result in injury or death.

FINAL INSTALLATION

1. Use wire connnectors to connect household supply and fan wires according to the diagram (Figure 5.1) and the following steps:

   • Connect the green wire from the downrod and mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire. Note: Closemount installation does not use the downrod, so there will only be two Green wires to connect.
   • Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
   • Connect the Black and Blue wires from the fan to the Black (hot) supply wire.
     Note: If there is a second hot supply wire in the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate light and fan control.

2. Align the canopy over the loosened mounting bracket screws. Place the J-slot of the canopy onto the mount bracket screws and rotate clockwise (Figure 5.2).

3. Secure the canopy with the two previously removed mounting bracket screws. Tighten all the mounting bracket screws securely (Figure 5.3). Figure 5.1
