Safety Precautions
1. To ensure the success of the installation be sure to read the instructions and study
the diagrams thoroughly before commencing.
2. All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by
removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker to ensure all pole isolation of the
electrical supply. If you are in any doubt the services of a qualified electrician should
be sought to ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with the I.E.E.
Regulations, current good practice and other national and local electrical codes.
3. Make sure that your installation situ
will not allow the rotating fan blades to come
into
blade tip to the wall or ceiling. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better
the airflow from your fan will be. Ensure the blades are mounted at a minimum height
4. The fixing point for the fan must be able to support a weight of ten times that of the net
wei
support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work loose.
5. The fan must be earthed.
6. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory
performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor.
7. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances are operated in the same
room at the same time.
8. The fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction.
This will prevent any damage to the motor of the unit or controller (if installed).
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating. This will damage
the blades and upset the balance of the unit causing the unit to wobble.
10. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secure
andtight to prevent any problems.
11. osen. Check the
support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they
are all secure. If they are loose tighten with a screwdriver.
Note: The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that
common sense, caution and care are factors, which cannot be built into any product.

Operating instructions
Having checked that all electrical connections are securely made and insulated, turn on the
power and check the operation of the fan. The pull switch on the side of the motor housing is
the selection switch for the speed function of the fan and is also the on/off function. The first
pull from the off position takes you on to the high speed; the second on to medium speed; the
third on to slow speed and the fourth pull to the off position.
The slide switch on the other side of the switch housing changes the direction of rotation of
the blades. (Remember to let the fan slow to a complete stop before changing the direction of
rotation). When looking up at the fan blades, anti clockwise rotation achieves a downward
flow of air and clockwise rotation achieves an upward movement of air.
Summer operation In warm weather a downward movement of air is more desirable as this
achieves a greater cooling effect.
Winter operation In winter a movement of air moving upwards and then back down the sides
of the room achieves a more balanced temperature throughout the room.
If a wall control or remote control system has been used refer to the accompanying leaflets
enclosed in these systems.
IMPORTANT
This fan is provided with a 3-speed pull chain type switch for choice of speeds. The
slide switch allows for forward or reverse action of the blades. Do not operate
reversing switch while fan blades are in motion. Fan must be turned off and blades
stopped before reversing blades direction.

Blade balancing
Whilst every precaution is taken at the factory to ensure your fan is of the highest quality,
imbalance may occur. This may be due to slight irregularities in the blades or blade
carriers. Further problems can be caused by deviating from these instructions.
The following procedure may help to rectify the situation.
The round plate must always be tight against the ceiling so that no movement can occur.
If the installation requires a rod style make sure that the rod is firmly locked into the boss
on top of the fan. The locking screw should be securely tightened.
Check all the blades are firmly tightened on to their carrier brackets.
Check all the carrier brackets are tightened on to the motor firmly.
Blade tracking can easily be checked by holding a yardstick or similar measure vertically
from the ceiling to the tip of the blade. Then check all blades measure the same distance
from that point. To correct slight problems in the alignment of a blade, gently bend the
carrier to bring it back in line.
Changing over two adjacent blades may correct any imbalance.
Use the universal balancing kit supplied with the fan.
Please note that drop rod styles of fans do have a slight level of movement but his is in no
way dangerous.
Care and cleaning
Periodic cleaning of your new fan is recommended particularly the blades. The plated or
painted surfaces of your fan have been sealed with a lacquer to minimize any
discoloration or tarnishing. Therefore use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid
scratching the surface.
The motor has permanently sealed bearings so no lubrication is necessary
Do not use water when cleaning you fan as this could damage the surfaces of the casing
and the blades and may create the possibility of an electric shock.
