MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

  1. Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the fan supply line lead (Fig. 1).


Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

  1. Ensure that the blades will be at least 30 in. (76 cm) from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. (2,13 m) above the floor (Fig. 2).
  2. Secure the upper mounting bracket to the outlet box using screws provided with the outlet box (not included) and the two flat washers from the hardware bag (Fig. 3).
    Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket as this will support the fan.

HANGING YOUR UNIT

  1. Remove the four bracket screws from underneath the lower mounting bracket and save for later use (Fig. 4).

  2. Place tab on the lower mounting bracket into slot in the upper mounting bracket. Then slide the second lower mounting bracket tab into the second slot on the upper mounting bracket until all four screw holes are in alignment (Fig. 5).
  3. Reinstall the previously removed bracket screws underneath the lower mounting bracket and into the upper mounting bracket. Securely tighten the screws (Fig. 6).

WIRING


Be sure outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

burn hazardburn hazard
If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following step, stop immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring. Incorrect wire connection can damage the receiver and could cause fire or injury.

  1. Connect supply and fan wires according to the diagram (Fig. 7) and these steps:
    WIRING - Step 1
    • Connect the Green wires from mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
    • Connect the Black and Blue wire from the fan to the Black (live) supply wire.
    • Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
      Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors and push all connected wires back into the outlet box.
  2. (Optional) If a second hot power wire is available from outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) wire from the fan for separate light and fan control (Fig. 8).
    WIRING - Step 2


The black fan wire is power for fan. The blue fan wire is power for the light. The white wire from the fan is common/neutral. The green wires from the fan and mounting bracket are ground wires.

MOTOR HOUSING INSTALLATION

  1. Remove the ten motor screws from the underside of the motor. Set aside for blade arm assembly (Fig. 9).

  2. Temporarily lift the motor housing to the mounting bracket to determine which two motor housing screws in the sides of the mounting bracket align with the slotted holes in the top edge of the motor housing. Partially loosen the two motor housing mounting screws that align with the slotted holes. Remove the other two motor housing mounting screws from opposite sides of the mounting bracket (Fig. 10).

  3. Slide the motor housing over the motor, aligning the slotted holes in the motor housing with the two loosened motor housing mounting screws in the mounting bracket. Twist motor housing to lock. Then reinstall the two previously-removed motor housing mounting screws and securely tighten all screws (Fig. 11).

BLADE INSTALLATION

  1. The blades attach to blade arms using the Fast Attach system.
    Align each twist lock connector in the direction of its corresponding hole in the blade. Place the blade over the twist lock connectors. Rotate each twist lock connector so that it is perpendicular to the hole in the blade. Repeat for the remaining blades (Fig. 12)
    Note: A cutout in the upper switch housing allows easy access to the motor screw holes.
  2. Insert the two previously removed motor screws through one blade arm and blade isolator and then into the motor. Tighten motor screws securely. Repeat with remaining blade arms, making sure to completely secure each blade arm before proceeding (Fig. 13).

FINAL INSTALLATION

  1. Remove the three screws and washers from the upper switch housing. Connect plug from the motor to the plug from the switch housing cap. Align holes in the switch housing cap with holes in upper switch housing. Re-install screws and washers that were previously removed. Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to secure all screws (Fig. 14).

  2. The pull chain extension or custom pull chain extension (sold separately) may be attached to fan pull chains (Fig. 15).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the side of the light kit, to optimize your fan for seasonal performance (Fig. 16).
    Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat in the summer and lower your thermostat in the winter without sacrificing comfort.


Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

  1. In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left, which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect (Fig. 17).
    Note: Energy savings are possible by turning on the ceiling fan and setting the thermostat a few degrees warmer. To maximize savings, turn ceiling fan off when no one is in the room.
  2. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right and the fan to low, which will result in upward airflow that can help move hot air off the ceiling area. By mixing the air, the heat may not have to run as often and may yield energy savings (Fig. 18).

SAFETY INFORMATION

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 that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
  • Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. (2,14 m) from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. (76 cm) from the end of the blades to any obstruction.


When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do 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.
