MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there is not an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed

mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the

power by removing fuses or turning o circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use

appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its

support must be able to fully support the full weight of the fan (up

to 15.9kg (35 pounds)). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of dierent ways to mount the

outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)

ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper

clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum

clearance of 12" is suggested for optimal operation.

NOTE: You must use 12" or longer downrod for 22° slope

(max angle 22°). (Fig. 3)

NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for

installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger”

for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you

purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES

CAUTION: To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, Disconnect The

Electrical Supply Circuit To The Fan Before Installing Fan Blades.

Step 1. Align the four holes in a blade with four matching holes in the

blade holder. Thread blade attachment screws into the aligned holes,

and tighten screws to secure the blade to the blade holder. Repeat for

remaining blades. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. NOTE: Inside of the blade holder there are six tabs. Three of the

tabs have a post on top, and three of the tabs have a hole in the center.

NOTE: In the outer ring of the motor assembly there are six holes. Three

of the holes are smaller in size and three of the holes are larger in size.

Carefully insert the motor assembly into the blade holder, aligning the

smaller holes in the motor assembly with the posts on top of the tabs.

Pass the posts through the smaller holes, and seat the outer ring of the

motor assembly on top of all six tabs.

The larger holes in the motor assembly should align with the holes in

the tabs. Thread the three motor assembly attachment screws into the

larger holes in the motor assembly and into the holes in the tabs, and

tighten to secure the motor assembly to the blade holder. (Fig. 6)” Fig. 6

HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn o the power before you begin installation. This is necessary for

your safety and also the proper programming of the control system.

To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Before attaching fan to outlet box (not included), ensure the outlet box is securely

fastened to at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the

fan to wobble). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the

center of the ceiling mounting bracket. Install mounting bracket to outlet box in ceiling

using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 7)

Step 2. Remove the hairpin and clevis pin from the downrod assembly, retain for later

use. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening set screw,

removing the cross pin, and sliding ball o of the rod. (Fig. 8)

NOTE: Make sure to keep loosened hardware separate to avoid confusion during

installation.

Step 3. Loosen the two set screws on the motor coupling. (Fig. 9)

Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires and safety cable up through the

downrod. Thread the downrod onto the motor coupling until the clevis

pin holes are aligned. Next, replace the clevis pin and hairpin, then tighten

both set screws. (Fig. 10)

Step 5. Slip the coupling cover, canopy hole cover and canopy onto the

downrod. Carefully reinstall the hanger ball onto the downrod. Make sure

the cross pin is in the correct position and the set screw is tight and the

wires are not twisted . ( Fig. 11)

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian installation ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from faIling, please

install it as follows.

Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet

box. Leave 3mm (1/8") of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 13)

Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in

the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw

and washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall length is

correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end

of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety

cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely.

(Fig. 14)

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only,

it’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.
