:
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly
before beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All
electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code.
If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified
and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make
the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor when fan is operating.
4. If possible, mount ceiling fan on a ceiling joist - the joist must be able to support the motion and weight of the
moving fan. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as suitable for fan
support is required. The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35lbs.). The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be
performed by qualified personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton
until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you
do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the HOT wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kits installation instructions.
8. When inserting bulbs, do not exceed the 300-watt maximum. The upper lighting fixture uses four 25-watt
bulbs, leaving the remaining 200 watts for the optional lower light kit.
9. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
10. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
11. The fan should be turned off and allowed to stop rotating before reversing fan direction.
1 Warnings:
Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional
lighting. Support directly from building structure.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for fan
support and use 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, only use this fan with an appropriate speed control
device designed for use with ceiling fans, if you choose a wall control. DO NOT USE A SIMPLE INCANDESCENT
LIGHT DIMMER. Do not use this fan with any transformer type fan speed control device.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert any objects(s) between rotating fan blades.
NOTE: The important precautions, safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and
carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)
installing, caring for, and operating the unit.

REPARATION
:
Verify you have all parts before beginning the installation. Check foam insert closely for missing parts. Remove motor
from packing. To avoid damage to finish, assemble motor on soft padded surface or use the original foam inset in motor
box. Do not lay motor housing on its side as this could result in shifting of motor in decorative enclosure.
Caution:
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure
electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.
All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local
Electrical Codes and the ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electric shock.
1. Locate ceiling area where fan is to be mounted, being sure
location agrees with the requirements in the minimum
clearance section of this guide. Mounting area must be
sound and of adequate size to support 35 lbs. (See Page
1, Items 3 and 4).
2. If not already present, mount a UL listed outlet box marked
suitable for fan support following the instructions
provided with the outlet box. The outlet box must be
able to support a minimum of 35 pounds.
Note: Do not use standard electrical box.
3. Attach hanger bracket to outlet box using screws provided with the outlet box.

1. Carefully support fan body (motor) in its styrofoam packing with the mounting collar (where the wires come out)
facing upward.
2. Remove ball from downrod by loosening set screw in the side of the ball. Slide ball down and remove ball pin;
remove ball.
3. Feed the wires from top of fan through end of downrod you have chosen and set end of downrod into mounting
collar so the hole in the downrod lines up with the hole in the side of the mounting collar.
4. Insert downrod pin through holes in mounting collar and downrod; slip cotter pin through small hole in end of down-
rod pin to hold downrod in place.
5. Tighten security screws against downrod using a large flat blade screwdriver to ensure a tight fit against downrod.
Tighten nuts against mounting collar.
NOTE: Fan has 6 feet of hook-up wire in case
you are using a long extension downrod.
Wires can be cut so only 8 inches or so extend
beyond the top of the downrod to make the
electrical connections easier and safer.
6. Feed wires through collar cover and slide
collar cover down the downrod to top of
fan.
7. Feed wires through canopy and slide
canopy over downrod to lay on top of
collar cover. It will be attached to ceiling
later.
8. Feed wires through ball and slide ball
over downrod, past hole in the top end
of the downrod. Insert ball pin
(removed in step 2), slide ball up, and
tighten set screw to secure ball in place.
