SAFETY INFORMATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 and ANSI/NFPA
70-199. 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 oor and at least 30 inches from
the tip of the blades to any obstruction.
• The weight of the fan is 26.07 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 re 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.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
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 10 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 oor (Figure 1.3).
1. Loosen all four mounting bracket screws and completely remove the two screws from the round holes in the canopy. Then
remove mounting bracket from the canopy and save them for later (Figure 2.1).
2. Install the mounting bracket to the outlet box (sold separately) using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box
(Figure 2.2).

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 two 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.
