Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in

the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan

location and attachment to the building structure are essential for

safety, reliable operation, maximum eﬃciency, and energy savings.

Installing Multiple Fans?

If you are installing more than

one fan, keep the fan blades and

blade irons (if applicable) in sets,

as they were shipped.

CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,

disconnect the power by turning oﬀ the circuit breakers to the outlet box

and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers

in the oﬀ position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical

codes and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with wiring,

use a qualiﬁed electrician.

Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch

in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

4-1. Before attempting installation, make sure the power is still oﬀ.

4-2. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place

a wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight. For

all these connections use the wire connectors provided.

4-3. Connect the bare or green ground wire (grounded) from the

ceiling to the green ground wire (grounded) from the ceiling plate

and the green ground wire from the fan.

4-4. Connect the white wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the

e switch housing assembly is made up of three sections: the switch housing gas-

ket, the upper switch housing, and the lower switch housing/light assembly.

ATTACHING THE SWITCH HOUSING GASKET

AND UPPER SWITCH HOUSING

7-1. Locate the switch housing mounting plate, the switch housing gasket and

the upper plug connector.

NOTE: Your fan may come with the switch housing gasket attached to the

switch housing mounting plate.

If the switch housing gasket is attached to the switch housing mounting

plate,gotothesection"AttachingtheUpperSwitchHousing."

If the switch housing gasket is not attached complete the steps below.

7-2. Identify the top side of the switch housing gasket by looking for the raised

circular ridge on the gasket.

7-3. With the top side of the switch housing gasket facing up towards the mo-

tor, align the holes in the gasket with the spokes on the switch housing

mounting plate.

7-4. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the upper

switch housing gasket. Push the gasket up so that it is seated ﬂush with

the mounting plate .

tighten all four housing assembly screws could result in water entry

into live connection area and/or the switch housing and light ﬁxture

falling.

ATTACHING THE LOWER SWITCH HOUSING/LIGHT

ASSEMBLY

7-9. Locate the housing screws.

NOTE: Depending upon your fan model, the housing screws will be either

installed in the four spokes from the switch housing mounting plate, or

located in the sack parts.

7-10. Partially install the housing screws into the spokes from the switch housing

mounting plate.

NOTE: if the housing screws came installed, make sure that they are

partially installed in order to complete the following steps.

7-11. Connect the upper plug connector to the lower plug connector from the

lower switch housing assembly.

NOTE: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only ﬁt together

one way. Make sure that both connectors are properly aligned before

connecting them together. Incorrect connection could cause improper

operation and damage to the product.

Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.

1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.

2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the

fan section.

3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.

4. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.

5.Removetheshippingbumpers.

Problem: Noisy operation.

1. Tighten the blade bracket screws until snug.

2. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the blades.

Problem: Excessive wobbling.

1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit

and instructions to balance the fan.

2. Tighten all blade iron screws.

3. Turn power oﬀ, support fan very carefully, and check that the

hanger ball is properly seated.
