three setscrews in the downrod support. (Figure 5)

described above, or fan-wobble could result.
10. Slide the Motor Coupling Cover down until it touches
the top of the Housing. (Figure 6)
11. Before installing fan, measure up approximately 6-9
inches above top of Downrod/Hanger Ball Assembly. Cut
off excess wire and strip back insulation ½˝ from end of
wire.
12. You have now completed the assembly of your ceiling
fan. You can now proceed with the hanging and the
electrical wiring of your fan.
NOTE:
All set screws must be checked and re-tightened
where necessary before installation. (See Maintenance,
page 8)
▲WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
▲WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7´ of clearance from
floor to blades (Figure 1)
▲WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored to building
structure and capable of withstanding a load of at least
50 lbs. Hanger bracket must seat fi rmly against outlet
box. If the outlet box is recessed, remove wallboard
until bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box
are not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.

safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.
The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety
cable loop, and into the building structure (Figure 2). You
will first drill a ¼˝ pilot hole into the building structure to
prevent splitting or cracking.
2. Using two #8-32 screws, mount the hanger bracket to
ceiling junction box acceptable for ceiling support.
NOTE: Ceiling support cable must be fastened between
flat washer and ceiling member (Figure 2).
3. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the
hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable are
pulled through the downrod, between the hanger bracket
and the junction box so that electrical connections can be
made later.
