WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, be sure electricity is

turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.

(Figure 1)

NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,

contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be

grounded for safe operation.

WARNING

The fan must be hung with at least 7' of clearance from

floor to blades. (Figure 2)

CAUTION

Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely

installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may

result in damage to the fan blades.

Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box

using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with

the outlet box. (Figure 3)

Drill a 1/4" pilot hole into the building structure to

prevent splitting or cracking with installation of the lag

bolt. Using the 3/8" x 2" lag bolt and flat washer, attach

safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.

The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety

cable loop, and into the building structure. (Figure 3)

NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to

outlet box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling

joist or structural member using the 3/8" x 2" lag bolt

and flat washer. (Figure 3)

Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the

hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable are

pulled through the downrod, between the hanger

bracket and the outlet box so that electrical

connections can be made later.

WARNING

The outlet box must be securely anchored. Hanger

bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the

outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until bracket

contacts box. If bracket and /or outlet box are not

securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger

ball assembly onto the hanger bracket that was just

attached to the outlet box. Be sure the groove in the

ball is lined up with tab on the hanger bracket.

(Figure 4)

WARNING

Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to

electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard.

Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable.

Slide cable clamp and washer onto safety cable

(from fan). Place the end of cable through the loop of

ceiling support cable. Pull as much cable through loop

as possible. Feed end of cable into clamp hole and

firmly tighten screw. (Figure 4)
