Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mountthe outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on asteep, sloped ceiling.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4
(available at yourHampton Bay Retailer).

other remote units. The frequency switches
on your receiver and transmitter have been
preset at the factory. Please recheck to
make sure the switches on transmitter and
receiver are set to the same position, any
combination of settings will operate the fan as
long as the transmitter and receiver are set to
the same position.(Figure8)
Step 1. (Figure 9) Insert the receiver into
the mounting bracket with the flat side of
the receiver facingthe ceiling.
Step 2. (Figure 10) 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 tothe white wiremarked "TO MOTOR
N" from the receiver. Connect the blue wire
from the fan to the blue wire marked "For
Light" from the receiver. Secure the wire
connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided.

Blades
Step 1 Attach the blades to the blade arms
using three screws and rubber washers as
shown in Figure 12. Start a screw into the arm,
do not tighten. Repeat for the 2 remaining
screws and washers.
Step 2 Tighten each screw securely starting
with the center screw. Make sure the blade is
straight.
Step 3 Fasten the blade arms to the motor by
inserting the tab from the blade arms to the slot
in the bottom motor housing, then tighten the
two screws and washers already installed in the
blade arms (Figure13).
Step 4 Install an optional light kit if you wish.
Follow the instructionsincluded with the kit.

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 arm
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 14. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance should beequal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if
the blade wobbleis still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result insmoother operation.
