Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan Support of 35 lbs. (15.9kg) or less,” and use the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting 35 lbs. (15.9kg). Use only UL  Listed outlet boxes marked

“Acceptable for Fan Support of 35 lbs. (15.9kg) or less.” . Do not use a plastic outlet box. The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE : You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from horizontal.

If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the mounting plate. To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above.

¨  Ensure the screws that attach the blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.

¨  Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.

¨  Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.

¨  If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.

¨  Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

¨  Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting plate and outlet box.

The fan wobbles.| ¨  Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

¨  Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
