Wiring and Control Option
The Motor Assembly Unit can only be wired to standard “light“ switch for on/off operation.
Optional lighting fitters and light kits are available, including a single bowl fixture with a maximum of 180 watts and a
variety of four light fixtures with a maximum of 240 watts. Can be mounted on the fan switch cap. Installation instructions
provided with each light fitter and light kit.
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical

If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light fixture.

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. Follow all wiring
instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described
in these instructions should be done or approved by a
licensed electrician.
