SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, install or operate the
product.

• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage that
might exceed the initial cause for return.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook
if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the
floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
• After you install the fan, make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• The net weight of this fan including the light kit is: 17.2 lbs.

 SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER
If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected
by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock
or death.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box. Secure the outlet
box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.

To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan
are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your
house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the
corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed control
device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the
rotating fan blades.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts
OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

CAUTION
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.

Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.

PREPARATION
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package
contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt
to assemble the product.

Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes

Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety
Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers

Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself Wiring Handbook and
Wire Cutters

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to
the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious
injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan
after installation is complete.

CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is
present.

After opening top of carton, remove mounting hardware package from foam inserts. Remove motor
from packing and place on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish.

CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure they are
secured.

A. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
B. Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to
make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best

suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings A
you may want to use a longer downrod (not
included). Angle-style mounting is best suited for
angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is
sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade
clearance.

DOWNROD-STYLE FAN MOUNTING
4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you
may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the
4
wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is
suggested you do so in the following manner:

Take the lead wires and make sure that you have
pulled them all the way through the top of the Ball
downrod. Start at the TOP of the ball on the downrod
and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and then cut the A
excess wire off with wire cutters (not included).

NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires, Steps 4

and 5 are not necessary and you may proceed to
Step 6 instead.

5. If you decided to cut back the lead wires in Step 4, 5

strip 1/2 in. of insulation from end of white wire.
Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within the
insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat Step 5
for black, blue (if applicable) and green wires.

6. Install ball end of downrod (A) into mounting bracket 6

(C) opening. Align slot in ball with tab in mounting
bracket (C).

DANGER: Failure to align slot in ball with tab may C

cause the fan to wobble or fall, which could result in
serious injury or death.

WIRING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors
provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from
the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to
the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
WARNING: If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following steps, stop
immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring.
DANGER: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical
shock or death.
NOTE: This fan is remote control adaptable (remote control sold separately). Any remote control
used with this fan MUST be UL-approved for DAMP LOCATIONS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The pull chain located on the switch housing

(F) has four positions to control fan speed. One
1
pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW
and four turns the fan OFF.

2. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the switch

housing (F), to optimize your fan for seasonal
2
performance. A ceiling fan will allow you to raise
your thermostat setting in summer and lower
your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a
difference in your comfort. F

NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before moving the

reverse switch.

Lowes.com/harborbreeze

15
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2A. In warmer weather, setting the reverse switch

in the DOWN position will result in downward 2A 2B
airflow creating a wind chill effect.

2B. In cooler weather, setting the reverse switch in

the UP position will result in upward airflow that
can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling
area.

2C. IMPORTANT: Reverse switch must be set

either completely UP or completely DOWN for
2C
fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the
middle position, fan will not operate.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

At least twice each year, lower canopy (B) to check downrod (A) assembly, and then tighten all
screws on fan. Clean motor housing (D) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. Clean blades (G) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture
polish to wood blades for added protection.
IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a
damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
