CEILING FAN INSTALLATION MANUAL
SAFTY RULES
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
- All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support of 45kg (99.12 lbs.) Or Less" and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly recommended.
- The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 15KGS. Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
- The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
- Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
- To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
- Do not use water or detergent when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.
- After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.
- Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
- The fan is suitable for indoor use only.

INSTALL THE FAN
Tools Required: Philips Screwdriver, Pair of Pliers, Straight flat screwdriver, Adjustable Wrench, Step Ladder and Wire Cutters.
INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) from the floor and 18 inches (45.72 centimeters) from any wall or obstruction.
For concrete ceiling: Mark the location for the ceiling fan first, then drill two holes in the ceiling to aid in securing the ceiling bracket with two expansion screws provided, and secure the mounting bracket to the building structure with two expansion screws provided. Tighten the screws. (See Fig. 1)
For Wood Ceiling: Mark the location for the ceiling fan first, secure the mounting bracket to the building structure with four wood screws provided. (See Fig. 2)
NOTE: Hanger after the installation must be able to withstand the weight of 45 kgs or more.

Balancing – Wobbling problems during fan operation
If the fan body wobbles during its operation, this is not a sign of malfunctioning (even if it wobbles a few centimeters). To reduce wobbling, you can turn off the fan, and:
- Check that all blades are properly fastened by tightening their screws.
- Check the distance between each blade and the ceiling. Measurements to the ceiling can be carried out as shown in the following diagram. If variations exist and you have already correctly tightened the screws, check that all blades have the same shape. If any of them have a shape that is visibly different, this may be causing an imbalance during fan operation.
If you have completed the previous steps and the wobbling has not resolved, you should apply dynamic balancing with the kit provided, as explained below:
- Turn the fan on to the highest speed so that the greatest amount of wobbling is produced.
- Turn off the fan. Select a blade and place a clip on it (see diagram) halfway between the fastening and the far edge of the blade.
- Turn on the fan and check whether the wobbling has improved or gotten worse. Turn it off once again and if the wobbling has not improved, place the clip on another blade. Repeat this process and determine on which blade it improves the wobbling.
- Leave the clip on the blade that produces the best results. Move the clip forward or backwards on this blade until finding the position that offers the best results.
- Afterwards, remove the clip and place one of the weights on the upper part of the center line of the blade at the position where the clip was located.
Visual Description: Diagrams 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the process of dynamic balancing. Diagram 1 shows a clip being placed on a fan blade. Diagram 2 shows the fan running with the clip, and Diagram 3 shows a weight being attached to the blade.
