Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. The
outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of
withstanding a load of at least 50 lbs. Figure 1 depicts
different structural confi gurations that may be used for
mounting the outlet box.
If your fan is to replace an existing light fi xture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light fi xture.
1.
To prevent damage to housing and/or blade, leave
the Ceiling Fan Assembly in its original packing during
installation of lower cover assembly, down rod, ceiling
canopy and motor coupling cover.
NOTE: Do not set Ceiling Fan Assembly on fl oor or hard
surface.
2.
Prior to assembly, set aside and save the hardware
bag(s) packed in the packing.
3.
Assemble the Lower Cover Assembly by connecting
the 2-pin (black & white wires) socket connector to
the plug connector (blue & white wires). Be sure the
connector wires are inside the Control Housing before
assembling the Lower Cover Assembly. (Figure 1)
4.
Locate and loosen two Indexing Screws located on the
Control Housing. (Figure 1) Line up the indexing holes
over the screws, secure by twisting the Lower Cover
Assembly clockwise and tighten the two indexing screws.
(Figure 2)
5.
Turn the Ceiling Fan Assembly (in package) top-side
up for installing down rod, ceiling canopy and motor
coupling cover.

WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficent. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and the
ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution
against possible electrical shock.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable
for fan support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs) or less. Use screws
supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly
used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
