SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install
the product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or the National Electrical
code. 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 ends of the blades to any obstruction.
•If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box.
Secure the 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.
• After you install the fan, make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• For supply connections, if the conductor of a fan is identified as a grounded conductor, then it
should be connected to a grounded conductor power supply. If the conductor of a fan is identified
as an ungrounded conductor, then it should be connected to an ungrounded conductor power
supply. If the conductor of a fan is identified for equipment grounding, then it should be connected
to an equipment-grounding conductor.
•The net weight of this fan is: 34.83 lbs.

SAFETY INFORMATION
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: 60 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Phillips screwdriver, 1/4 in. flathead screwdriver,
wire stripper and step ladder.
Helpful Tools (not included): AC tester light, do-it-yourself wiring handbook and wire cutters.
PREPARATION
WARNING
• Do not install or use fan if any part is damaged or missing.
• 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
two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use. Before
cutting, drilling or hammering, verify their location. If needed, contact your electrician, plumber
or service person.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between
the rotating fan blades. Mount to outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” 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.
• This fan is to be used in dry locations only.
• Read all instructions and safety information before installing the new fan. Review accompanying
assembly diagrams.

BLADE BALANCING INSTRUCTIONS
1
2
3
1. Interchanging positions of adjacent blades (J)
can redistribute the weight and result in
smoother operation. If wobble decreases,
leave blades (J) as they are. If wobble
increases, switch back to original position.
Attach the balancing clip from the balance kit
(HH) to the mid-point on the top edge of one
blade (J).
3. Peel the backing paper from one of the
weighted squares in the balance kit (HH).
Secure the weighted square in the balance kit
(HH) firmly to the top of the blade (J),
centered at the balancing clip location and
between the edges of the blade (J).
Remove the balancing clip (HH), start the fan
and observe. If the wobble still persists, repeat
steps 1 through 3 until the wobble disappears.
2. Run the fan at high speed (air downflow) and
observe wobble. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for
each blade (J). Note which blade (J) has the
least wobble. On that blade (J), install the
balancing clip to the top edge of the blade (J)
near the blade arm (I).
Start the fan and observe wobble. Stop the fan
and move the balancing clip in small steps
toward the end of the blade (J). At each
incremental step, turn on the fan and observe
the wobble. Determine the location of the
balancing clip that gives the least amount of
wobble.
WARNING
The balancing clip must always be firmly pushed
onto the blade until it touches the edge of the
blade. Failure to do so could allow clip to fly off
and cause personal injury.
If the fan wobbles when in use, turn off the fan and follow the below steps:

• When cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
• Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should be avoided to prevent damage to finish.
RECOMMENDED: Periodically check that the fan motor unit screws, blade screws, support
housing and light kit screws are tight and secure.
• Periodic light dusting of the blades is recommended. A feather duster will work best.
• Avoid using water, cleansers, or harsh rags, which can warp and ruin the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: Use 60-watt E12 base bulbs.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Do not use water when cleaning the ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the finish and
create the possibility of electrical shock.
• Re-lamp with the appropriate wattage bulb. Do not exceed the wattage indicated on the bulb
socket.
• Do not install or use fan if any part is damaged or missing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
4. Wire connectors inside housing are
rattling.
1. Blades not attached to fan.
2. Loose screws in motor housing.
3. Screws securing fan blade holders to
motor hub are loose.
1. Check main and branch circuit
fuses or circuit breakers.
WARNING
Make sure main power is turned
off!
4. Check to make sure wire
connectors in switch housing
are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall
of the switch housing.
1. Attach blades to fan before
operating.
2. Check to make sure all screws
in motor housing are snug
(do not overtighten).
3. Check to make sure the screws
that attachthe fan blade
holders to the motor hub are tight.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fan will not start. 1. Fuse or circuit breaker blown.
2. Loose power line connections to the
fan, or loose 9 pin connector inside
light kit.
Fan sounds noisy.
3. Reversing switch in neutral position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
5. Screws holding blades to blade
holders are loose.
5. Tighten screws securely.Fan sounds noisy.
Not enough air
movement.
6. Fan blades are out of balance.
1. Set screw in downrod support is loose.

assembly is loose.
3. Screws securing fan blade holders to
motor hub are loose.
4. Blade holders are not seated properly.
5. Hanger bracket and/or ceiling outlet box

If possible, considerusinga longer
downrod (not included).
6. Interchanging position of fan
blades can redistribute the
weight and result in smoother
operation. For example,
exchange blades in positions 1
and 3 or 1 and 4. If this does
not improve wobble, exchange
2 and 4 or 2 and 5.
2. Tighten the set screw in the
downrod/hanger ball assembly.
3. Check to be sure screws that
attach the fan bladeholders to the
motor hubaretight.
4. Check to be sure the fan blade
holders seat firmly and
uniformly to the surface of the
motor housing. If holders are
seated incorrectly, loosen the
screws and retighten.
5. Tighten the hanger bracket
screws to the outlet box, and
secure outlet box.
1. Tighten set screws securely in
downrod support.
Downrod is too short.
