WARNING
!
The outlet box and joist must be
securely mounted and capable of
supporting at least 50 lbs. Use only a
U.L. outlet box listed as "Acceptable
for Fan Support".
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or personal injury, mount fan
to outlet box marked "Acceptable for
Fan Support", and use screws sup-
plied with outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for support of
light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electri-
cian if in doubt.
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to
the outlet box using the two screws
supplied with the outlet box (Figure 10).
WARNING
!
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.

How to Wire
Your Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough
electrical wiring knowledge or experi-
ence, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
WARNING
!
Turning off wall switch is not suffi-
cient. To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before
wiring. All wiring must be in accor-
dance with National and Local codes
and the ceiling fan must be properly
grounded as a precaution against
possible electrical shock.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock, disconnect the electrical
supply circuit before installing the fan,
light kit or receiver.
1. Position the supply wires to the left side
of the outlet box (Figure 12); position
the fan wires to the right side. Partially
insert the remote control receiver (flat
side up) until one end rests on the
hanger ball as shown in Figure 12.
NOTE: Make all wiring connections
using wire connectors (supplied). Make
sure that all connections are tight,
including ground, and that no bare wire

is visible at the wire connectors, except

2. Refer to Figure 12 and 13 and connect
the receiver wires to the supply wires
and the fan motor wires as follows:
a. Securely connect the green grounding
wires from the hanger ball and the
hanger bracket to the supply grounding
conductor (this may be a bare wire or a
wire with green insulation).
b. Securely connect the supply white
(neutral) wire to the receiver white (AC
IN N) wire.
c. Securely connect the supply black wire
(hot) wire to the receiver black (AC IN
L) wire.
d. Securely connect the fan motor white
wire to the receiver white (TO MOTOR
N) wire.
e. Securely connect the fan motor black
wire to the receiver red (TO MOTOR L)
wire.
f. Securely connect the fan motor blue
wire to the receiver blue (FOR LIGHT)
wire.
WARNING
!
Check to see that all connections are
tight, including ground, and that no
bare wire is visible at the wire con-
nectors, except for the ground wire.
Do not operate fan until blades are in
place. Noise and fan damage could
result.
