INITIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan supply line leads.
  A DANGER: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

• Choose the desired mounting method:

Standard Mounting:
Standard mounting is best suited for ceilings 8 feet. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
Angle Mounting:
Angle-style mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. If using the angle mount make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 20°.

For ALL mounting options, there must be at least 30 inches from the blade tip to nearest wall. Also, ensure there is 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blade to the floor.

• Check existing outlet box (not included) to ensure it is securely fastened to at least two points in a structural ceiling member and can support the full weight of the fan.
• Once verified, install mounting bracket (A) to the outlet box using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

DANGER: A loose outlet box can cause the fan to wobble and increase the fan’s potential to fall, which could result in serious injury or death.

Note: If using the angle mount, make sure open end of mounting bracket (A) points toward the ceiling.

• Loosen the two coupling screws (M) preassembled in coupling (L), but do not remove them.
• Remove the hairpin clip (K) and clevis pin (J) from the downrod assembly (B). Retain for later use.

Note: Make sure to keep loose hardware separate to avoid confusion during installation.

STANDARD/ANGLE-MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Place downrod assembly (B) through canopy (C), canopy cover (D) and coupling cover (E).

• Feed power wires from motor housing (G) through downrod assembly (B), then insert downrod assembly (B) into the coupling (L) on motor housing (G).

• Align the hole on downrod assembly (B) to hole on coupling (L), then re-install clevis pin (J). Re-attach hairpin clip (K) into clevis pin (J) until it snaps into place, then tighten the two previously loosened coupling screws (M).

STANDARD/ANGLE-MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Cut off excess fixture wires, leaving approximately 6 to 9 inches above the top of the downrod assembly (B). Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of each fixture wire.

CAUTION: Ensure all screws are tight before moving onto the next step.

• Carefully lift the assembly and rest the hanger ball of downrod assembly (B) on the mounting bracket (A) attached to the outlet box. Be sure the groove in the hanger ball is lined up with the tab on the mounting bracket (A). This will allow for hands-free wiring.
• Proceed to WIRING
