3. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
insure electricity has been turned off at
the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local
electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electrical shock and fire, do not use this
fan with any solid-state fan speed
control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury, mount
to outlet box marked "acceptable for fan
support of 15.8 kg (35 lbs.) or less" and
use mounting screws provided with the

The pull chain controls the fan speed as
follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3
pulls - Low, and 4 pulls - Off.
The pull chain controls the light as follows:
1 pull - Lightest, 2 pulls - Medium ligh, 3
pulls - Darker, and 4 pulls - Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The Reverse switch is located on the
switch housing. Slide the switch to the
Left for warm weather operation. Slide the
switch to the Right for cool weather
operation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before
changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward
airflow creates a cooling effect as shown
in Fig. 18. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a warmer setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area
as shown in Fig. 19. This allows you to set
your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

pg. 11
14. CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check
the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they
are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use
only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed
with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning.
This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT
ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor
hub is tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other
or the interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main
power is off.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.
Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s).
Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are
unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the
tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the
next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still
noticeable.
If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side
by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in
smoother operation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the
blade arm while installing, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan.
Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
