READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU START

Turn Off Power

Contact a licensed electrician if you are uncomfortable performing electrical work. A licensed electrician must install the fan if required by local code.

Do not use the fan with a dimmer switch.

Turn off power at breaker!

√ Prepare Fan Site

Outlet Box: Make sure your outlet box is suitable for fan support. If there is not an outlet box at the fan location, install one on a ceiling joist or beam.

Concrete Ceiling: Install an anchor hook for the safety cable if required by your local building and safety code. See the following page for installation details.

Wood Ceiling Joist: Attach the mounting plate or mounting bracket directly to the joist using two wood screws (not supplied). Big Ass Fans recommends using corrosion-resistant 12-11 x 45 mm hex head timber screws with seal.

☑ Gather Tools

☑ Select Extension Tube (Universal Mount Only)

If your fan uses the universal mount, you will need to select the appropriate extension tube for your ceiling height and slope.

See page 4 for a guide to select the most appropriate extension tube.

Concrete Ceiling

Install an anchor hook for the safety cable if required by your local building and safety code.

Standard Mount Universal MountLow Profile Mount

Ø 8 mm (anchor bolt) 40 mm 100 mm 80 mm Ø 14 mm (anchor hook)

Ø 12-12.5 mm 45 mm 35 mm 35 mm

Ø 6 mm 112 mm 45 mm 43 mm

Low Profile Mount

Drill four ∅ 8 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert four anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the mounting plate on the anchor bolts. Ensure all four anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.

If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a 14 mm hole for the anchor hook in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 50 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.

Standard Mount

Drill three ∅ 12–12.5 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 35–40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert three anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the hanger plate on the anchor bolts. Ensure all three anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.

If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a ∅ 8–8.5 mm hole for the anchor hook adjacent to the hanger plate. The hole depth should not exceed 35–40 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.

Universal Mount

Drill three ∅ 6 mm holes in the pattern shown. The hole depth should not exceed 40 mm. Remove any dust from the holes. Insert three anchor bolts into the holes. Strike the heads of the anchor bolts with a hammer, ensuring the bolt sleeves are flush with the ceiling surface. Position the mounting bracket on the anchor bolts. Ensure all three anchor bolts are fully tightened to expand and lock the anchors.

If required by local building and safety codes, install an anchor hook for the safety cable. Drill a ∅ 8 mm hole for the anchor hook. The hole depth should not exceed 50 mm. Remove any dust from the hole, and then insert the anchor hook and fully tighten.

Choosing an Extension Tube (Universal Mount Only)

Consult the tables below to select the appropriate extension tube for your fan.

Ceiling Height

For optimum performance, Big Ass Fans recommends the following extension tube lengths based on ceiling height.

Ceiling Height Extension Tube Length
9.5–11 ft(2.9–3.4 m)	20 in.(508 mm)
11–13 ft(3.4–4 m)	32 in.(813 mm)
13–14 ft *(4–4.3 m) *	48 in.*(1219 mm) *
>14 ft *(>4.3 m) *	60 in.*(1524 mm) *

* Big Ass Fans recommends using an extended length extension tube for ceiling heights over 13 ft (4 m). The fan comes standard with 20 in. (508 mm) and 32 in. (813 mm) extension tubes. Other lengths are available by contacting Customer Service.

Ceiling Slope

Haiku fans with a universal mount can be installed on sloped ceilings with an angle no greater than 33°.

Fan Diameter	Maximum Ceiling Slope	Extension Tube Length
52 in. (1.3 m)	26^	20 in. (508 mm)
52 in. (1.3 m)	33^	32 in. (813 mm)
60 in. (1.5 m)	22^	20 in. (508 mm)
60 in. (1.5 m)	33^	32 in. (813 mm)
84 in. (2.1 m)	16^	20 in. (508 mm)
84 in. (2.1 m)	29^	32 in. (813 mm)

If installing your fan outdoors on a sloped ceiling, Big Ass Fans recommends installing the Sloped Ceiling Fan Stabilizer kit (available separately).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your fan may occasionally jerk forward and backward upon startup. This is normal and does not affect fan operation.

Try these troubleshooting steps before contacting Customer Service. For additional operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information, visit bigassfans.com/support

Issue Solution
The fan will not start.	Make sure the fan is receiving power.Check your circuit breaker or fuse panel and wall switch for functionality.Make sure the fan is properly wired and grounded.Make sure the plastic film in the remote's battery tray has been removed.
The fan wobbles.	Remove the airfoils and make sure the colored dot sticker on each airfoil matches the corresponding sticker on the motor hub. If the stickers do not match, move the airfoils to the matching attachment points.
The fan appears slightly tilted.(Low profile and standard mounts only.)	Raise the lower motor cover trim and locate the pivot bolt. Loosen the bolt with a 5 mm hex key to allow the fan to hang straight, and then re-tighten.
The fan is noisy during operation.	Bring the fan to a complete stop.Gently turn the airfoils by hand, making sure there are no fan parts rubbing on the motor hub when the fan rotates.Check all mounting and fan hardware. If loose, tighten.
I need to reboot the fan.	Press and hold the On/Off button until the LED indicators start blinking.Within three seconds of the LEDs flashing, press the On/Off button again. When the LEDs stop blinking, the reboot is complete.
