Basic Guidelines For Working With Electricity
1. Before working on a circuit, go to the main service panel
and remove the fuse or trip the breaker that controls that
circuit.
2. Tape a sign to the panel warning others to leave the circuit
alone while you work.
3. Before touching any wire, use a voltage tester to make
sure it’s not live.
4. Whenever you check for voltage in a receptacle, check
both outlets; each may be controlled by a separate wiring
circuit.
5. When replacing fuses, turn off the main power first. Make
sure your hands and feet are dry, and place one hand behind
your back to prevent electricity from making a complete
circuit through your chest. Touch a plug fuse only by its
insulated rim.
6. Remove cartridge fuses with fuse puller.
7. Use tools with insulated handles and ladders made of
wood or fiberglass.
8. To protect children, place safety cover over any unused
outlets.
Shut off main
power at the
circuit breaker
or fuse panel
before removing
old fixture.

Blade Balancing
15
The following procedure should
correct most fan wobble. Check
after each step.
Check that all blade and blade
bracket screws are secure.
Most fan wobble 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 from a point on the centre
of each blade to the point on the
ceiling. Measure this distance as
shown in figure. Rotate the fan
until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each
blade. Measurements deviation
should be within 3 mm (1/8 in.). Run
the fan for 10 minutes.
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing
Kit if the blade wobble is still
noticeable.

Blade Balancing
16
The balancing kit should only be used if there is an
unacceptable amount of fan wobble after completing
all the steps in the user manual under “Fan Blades
Assembly.”
1. Turn the fan on and set the speed control setting to a
speed at which the wobble is the greatest.
2. Turn off the fan and allow it to come to a complete
stop. Mark the blades with masking tape number
1-5. Select one blade and place the balance clip on it
halfway between the blade holder and the blade tip on
the trailing edge of the blade.
3. Turn the fan on. Note whether the wobble has
increased or decreased. Turn the fan off, move the clip
to another blade, and retest. Repeat this procedure
on all blades noting the blade on which the greatest
improvement is achieved.
4. Adjust the clip on this blade as shown in the
illustration and operate the fan to find the position
where the clip gives the greatest improvement.
5. Remove the clip, clean the area where the weight is
to be added, and install a balancing weight to the top of
the blade along the centre line near the point where the
clip was positioned on the blade.
6. If the fan wobble problem has not been corrected,
you may wish to try to improve the balancing further by
using the balancing clip and additional weights.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
TROUBESHOOTING
WARNING: make sure the power is
off at the electrical panel box before
you attempt any repairs. Refer
to the section “Making Electrical
Connections.”
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.
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.)
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 discolouration or tarnishing. Do not
use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, the
wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover
small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently
lubricated sealed ball bearings.
