Pre-Installation (continued) DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of hanging assemblies: the standard ceiling installation using the downrod with ball and socket mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended in rooms with less than 8 ft. ceilings or in areas where additional space is desired from the floor to the fan blades.
Installation MOUNTING OPTIONS NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If the canopy (B) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A).
Assembly — Standard Ceiling Mounting 1 2 Preparing the canopy □ Remove the two non-slotted mounting bracket screws (BB) from the canopy (B), and loosen the slotted mounting bracket screws (BB) on the canopy (B). □ Remove the canopy (B) from the mounting bracket (A) by turning the canopy (B) counterclockwise. Preparing the motor □ Remove the clevis pin (EE), and cotter pin (FF), and loosen the two collar setscrews (GG) from the motor collar.
Assembly — Close-to-Ceiling Mounting 1 2 Preparing the canopy □ Remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (B) by loosening the four mounting bracket screws (BB) on the top of the canopy (B). Remove the two non-slotted mounting bracket screws (BB) and loosen the slotted mounting bracket screws (BB). □ Remove the canopy bottom cover (C) from the canopy (B).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan 4 Attaching the fan to the electrical box WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. □ Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the mounting bracket (A). □ Install the mounting bracket (A) to the outlet box (MM) with the screws and washers provided with your outlet box.
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) AAA WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. BBB WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire nuts (except for the ground wire). Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your fan. Secure the plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape.
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) 7a Standard ceiling mounting 7b WARNING: Locking slots of the canopy (B) are provided only as an aid to mounting. Do not leave the fan assembly unattended until all four canopy screws (BB) are engaged and firmly tightened. WARNING: Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket (A) properly sits in the groove in the hanger ball (D) before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A) by turning the canopy (B) until it drops into place.
Assembly — Attaching the Fan Blades 8 □ Removing the rubber packing mounts 9 The fan motor assembly (E) is shipped with rubber packing mounts (SS) to prevent movement during transportation. Remove the five rubber packing mounts (SS) from the fan motor assembly and discard prior to attaching the blade arms. Attaching the blades to the blade arms □ Attach blades (F) to blade arms (G) using the three screws with fiber washers provided with the blade attachment hardware (CC).

Assembly — Installing the Light Kit 11 Attaching the light kit to the switch housing 12 CAUTION: Before starting the installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box. Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock. □ Remove the three light kit mounting screws (II) from the light kit (H) and keep these screws.
Operation PULL CHAIN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install two pull chains and fobs (LL) onto the pull chains located in the switch housing and light kit (H). Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, and 4 pulls - Off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.
Care and Cleaning Do □ Do not Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling. □ Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Solution □ Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust. If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process: The fan wobbles.
