Quick Guide

This manual provides instructions for the installation and operation of the Visual Comfort & Co. 14PRR72XXXD Series ceiling fan. Before beginning, ensure the power is turned off at the service panel. The fan requires a metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support at least 35 lbs). The fan is suitable for damp locations, such as covered or enclosed patios or porches.

Safety Information

  • Installation must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70.
  • Always turn off power at the service panel before installation, servicing, or cleaning.
  • Ensure a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.
  • Do not bend blade holders during installation or cleaning.
  • Use only the provided mounting screws with the outlet box.
  • Do not use solid-state fan speed controls other than the specified part (DC8).

Installation

Mounting and Downrod: Ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to the house structure. Remove the preassembled keeper pin and cross pin from the downrod. Thread lead wires and safety cable through the downrod. Secure the downrod to the motor housing using the cross pin and keeper pin, then tighten the set screws. Install the ball end of the downrod into the mounting bracket, ensuring the slot on the ball aligns with the tab on the bracket.
