REPARATION

:

Verify you have all parts before beginning the installation. Check foam insert closely for missing parts. Remove motor

from packing. To avoid damage to finish, assemble motor on soft padded surface or use the original foam inset in motor

box. 

Do not lay motor housing on its side

as this could result in shifting of motor in decorative enclosure.

Caution: 

To  avoid possible electrical shock, be sure

electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.

All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local

Electrical Codes and the ceiling fan must be grounded as a

precaution against possible electric shock.

1. Locate ceiling joist where fan is to be mounted, being sure

location agrees with the requirements in the minimum

clearance  section of this guide. Wood joist must be sound

and of adequate size to support 35 lbs. (See Page 1, Items

3 and 4).

2.  If not already present, mount a UL listed outlet box marked

“suitable for fan support” following the instructions

provided with the outlet box. The outlet box must be

able to support a minimum of 35 pounds.

3. Attach hanger bracket to outlet box using screws provided

with the outlet box.
