Step 1. (Figure 10) Insert the receiver into
the mounting bracket with the flat side of
the receiver facingthe ceiling.
Step 2. (Figure 11) Motor to Receiver
Electrical Connections: Connect the Black
wire from the fan to Black wire marked "TO
MOTOR L". Connect the White wire from
the fan to the White wire marked "TO
MOTOR N" from the receiver. Connect the
Blue wire fromthe fan to the Blue wiremarked
"For bottom Light" from the receiver.
Connect the Orange wire from fan to the
Orange wire from receiver marked "For
Upper Light". Secure wire connections with
the plastic wire nuts provided. Wire nuts
provided.
Step 3. (Figure 11) Receiver to House Supply
Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the
black (hot) wire from the ceiling to the black

All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedure should correct
most fan wobbling problems. Check after
each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade arms
screws are secure.
2. 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 as shown in Figure 16. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance should be equal within
1/8".

interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result insmoother operation.
