SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1
WARNING:
• To avoid risk of electrical shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the
light switch only is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock hazard.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
“acceptable for fan support up to 35 lbs. (16 kg)” and use mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. The total weight of this fan is approximately 21 lbs. (9.5 kg).
• All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and any
applicable local codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
• Do not bend the blade iron brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades, or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 meters)
above the floor and at least 30 inches (0.76 meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
• Check and retighten all screws, nuts, and bolts to insure they are secured prior to operating the
fan.
• Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
• When changing (reversing) the blade direction, turn off the fan and wait for the fan blades to
stop completely.
• To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, do not use power tools to assemble any part of the
fan, including the blades.
• 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.
• Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly
dampened cloth is recommended to prevent scratching and will be suitable for most cleaning.
• In case this fan needs to be returned to the factory for repairs, it must be shipped in its original
carton and foam inserts to insure proper protection against shipping damage that may exceed
the initial cause for return.
• Please read and understand these safety instructions and the installation guide before
attempting to assemble, install, or operate the fan.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn OFF the electrical power at the
main fuse or circuit breakers.
NOTE: Before continuing installation,
confirm that the power is still turned
off at the main circuit breaker or by
removing the correct fuse. Turning
the power off using a wall switch is
not sufficient to prevent electrical
shock.
2. Secure the mounting bracket to the
outlet box (not included) using the
screws and washers provided with the
outlet box. Feed the wires from the
ceiling box through the center hole of
the mounting bracket.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire
electrical shock, or personal injury,
mount to the outlet box marked
“acceptable for fan support” using the
mounting screws and washers
provided with the outlet box.
3. Note the hanging hook on the under-
side of the mounting bracket. The
upper motor housing will be
temporarily hung from this hanging
hook in the next step.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Utilizing one of the holes in the top
ring of the upper motor housing, hang
the housing from the mounting hook
as shown. This will allow for hands-
free wiring of the fan.
5. WIRING THE FAN:
Use the supplied wire connectors to connect
the fan wires to the power supply wires
according to the wiring diagram and
following instructions:
• Connect the WHITE wire from the fan to
the WHITE wire coming from the ceiling.
• Connect the BLACK and BLUE wires from
the fan to the BLACK wire coming from
the ceiling.
• Connect all GREEN (ground) wires
together: Connect the GREEN wire from
the fan to the GREEN wire from the
mounting bracket and the GREEN wire
from the ceiling.
NOTE: The BLACK wire is hot power for the
fan. The BLUE wire is hot power for the light
kit. The WHITE wire is common for the fan
and light kit. The GREEN (BARE) is ground.
IMPORTANT: After the connections have
been made, make sure all connections are
secure and the wires do not come loose
from the wire nuts. Be sure no bare wires or
wire strands are visible after making
connections.

two screws, slide into place in the
keyhole slots, and tighten the screws.
Using the remaining two screws from the
mounting bracket, line up the other two
holes in the side of the motor housing,
insert screws, and tighten down. Confirm

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE SWITCH
Use the fan reverse switch, located on the
side of the light kit housing, to optimize
your fan for seasonal performance. Using
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.
In warmer weather, move the reverse
switch to the left which will result in
downward airflow creating a wind chill
effect.
In cooler weather, move the reverse
switch to the right which will result in
upward flow that can help move
stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
IMPORTANT: Wait for fan to stop before
moving the reverse switch. The reverse
switch must be set either completely to
the left or right for the fan to function
correctly. If the reverse switch is set in
the middle position, the fan will not
operate.
MOTOR SPEED AND LIGHT
Fan speed: The pull chain has four
positions to control fan speed. One pull is
high, two is medium, three is low, and
four is off.
Light: One pull is on, and two is off.

TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN DOES NOT START:
• Check the circuit breaker and confirm the power is ON.
• Make sure the wall switch is ON.
• Pull the pull chain to make sure it is on. Typical pull chain operation is 1
st
pull – high
speed, 2
nd
pull – medium speed, 3
rd
pull – low speed, 4
th
pull OFF.
• Check that the motor reversing switch is correctly engaged and set to left or right
position. Fan will not run if switch is in the middle.
• Confirm that the blades spin freely and that there are no obstructions between the
blades or into the motor housing. Turn off power at circuit breaker and at wall switch,
loosen the canopy, and check that all wiring connections from the household supply
wires to the fan wires are secure.
FAN IS NOISY:
• Make sure all screws are snug and secure including blade screws into the blade irons,
blade irons onto the motor, and screws on canopy and switch housing cover.
• Make sure all blades and blade irons are properly installed.
• Some ceiling fan motors are sensitive to solid state variable speed controls. If the fan is
controlled by these types of controls remove the control and replace it with a control
specifically designed for use with ceiling fans.
FAN WOBBLES:
• Make sure fan mounting bracket is securely tightened to the ceiling outlet box and the
ceiling box is securely fastened to the ceiling joist or other adequate support structure.
• Confirm that the hanger ball is properly seated in the mounting bracket. The tab in the
mounting bracket should be seated in the slot in the downrod ball.
• Make sure all blades are installed correctly and all screws are secure. Also confirm that
the two set screws in the downrod are tight in the yoke.
• Balance the fan blades using the blade balancing kit included with the fan.
WARNING: Before beginning any troubleshooting or maintenance work always shut off
the power supply to avoid electrical shock hazard.
