Initial Installation

1. Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the fan supply line leads. ? DANGER: Failure to disconnect power may result in serious injury or death.
2. Determine the mounting method:
   • Standard Mounting: Best for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. A longer downrod may be needed for taller ceilings (sold separately).
   • Angle Mounting: Best for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod may be needed for proper blade clearance. Ensure ceiling angle is not steeper than 16°.
   • Flushmount Installation: Not available for this model.
   • Closemount Installation: Suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
3. Ensure blades (M) are at least 30 in. from obstructions and the downrod (A) allows blades to be at least 7 ft. above the floor.
4. Mounting Bracket Attachment:
   • Loosen mounting bracket screws (R) on the canopy (E). Remove two screws from the round holes of the canopy and set aside. Detach the mounting bracket (D) from the canopy (E).
   • Attach the mounting bracket (D) to the outlet box (not included) using screws and washers provided with the outlet box. ? CAUTION: Use proper hardware as it supports the fan.
5. Motor Assembly Preparation:
   • Remove the 10 preassembled motor screws (O) and five preassembled motor blocks from the underside of the motor assembly (I). Discard motor blocks, but save motor screws (O). The notch in the fitter plate (J) provides access to motor screw holes.
   • For Standard or Angle Mounting, proceed to page 9. For Closemount Instructions, proceed to page 11.

Standard or Angled Mounting Instructions

1. Remove the downrod clip (C) and downrod pin (B) from the downrod (A). Partially loosen the set screws (P) in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly (I).
2. Insert the downrod (A) through the canopy (E) and yoke cover (K). Feed the wires from the motor assembly (I) through the downrod (A).
3. Slide the downrod (A) into the yoke of the motor assembly (I). Align the holes, then re-install the downrod pin (B) and downrod clip (C). Secure with set screws (P) and slide the yoke cover (K) down until it rests on the motor assembly (I).
4. Wire Preparation (if needed): If using a shorter downrod, you may need to cut lead wires. Measure 8 inches of lead wire from the top of the downrod and cut excess with wire cutters.
5. Wire Stripping: If wires were cut, strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of the white wire. Twist the stripped ends together with pliers. Repeat for black and blue wires. (This step is not necessary if wires were not cut).
6. Install Downrod Ball: Install the ball end of the downrod (A) into the mounting bracket (D). Align one of the four slots in the downrod with the tab in the mounting bracket (D). ? DANGER: Failure to align the slot with the tab could cause the fan to fall, resulting in serious injury or death.
7. Proceed to Wiring on page 12.

Closemount Instructions

Note: Downrod (A), canopy cover (F), and yoke cover (K) are not used in this installation.

1. Remove the canopy cover (F) from the bottom of the canopy (E).
2. Remove three Phillips-head closemount screws (Q) from the top of the motor assembly (I). Align the canopy (E) with the holes in the motor assembly (I) and re-install the screws (Q) to secure the canopy (E).
3. Raise the fan and place the canopy (E) on the hook on the mounting bracket (D) to free your hands for wiring.

Wiring

⚠️ WARNING: Use provided wire connectors for one 12-gauge house wire and two fan lead wires. Consult an electrician for proper connectors if house wires are larger or more numerous.

? CAUTION: Ensure the outlet box is properly grounded (green or bare wire present).
