FAN PREPARATION
PERMA•LOCK™ HARDWARE
GETTING STARTED
Carton Contents
The fan carton contains the fan body, warranty card, owner's
manual, and all the parts necessary to assemble and install your
Casablanca ceiling fan (blades sold separately). These parts are
shown at the start of each installation section. Before you start,
go through this Owner’s Manual and confirm that you have all
the parts shown in each section.
Be sure to use only genuine Casablanca blades. The blade
shrink wrap holds 5 blades of matched weight. If more than
one fan is being installed, be sure not to mix blade sets.
GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish
to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture
outlet box must be installed and wired.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker
or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring.
Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is
marked ‘
Approved for ceiling fan mounting
’. If it is not, a new
box must be installed.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
acceptable for ceiling fan support using the mount-
ing hardware provided with the outlet box.
CAUTION: When removing the shrink wrap,
be careful not to scratch the blades.
NOTE:
The fan weight is 35 pounds.

Using the provided allen wrench, loosen the set screw
several turns to allow installation of the downrod. Thread
the downrod into the motor coupling until it stops turning,
this will take at least four and a half full turns.

wrench to ensure safe operation of your fan.
Tip:
The downrod has a tapered thread
that is designed to lock completely when
correctly installed.

rod before securely tightening the allen set
screw may cause the fan to separate from
the downrod during normal operation!
