1. Safety Rules
1.To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been
turned off at the circuitbreaker or fusebox before beginning.
2. Allwiring must bein accordance withthe National Electrical Code
and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by aqualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not
use this fanwith any solid-statefan speed controldevice.
4. WARNING: To reduce the riskof personal injury, use only the two
steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for
mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for
the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
8. Avoid placing objectsin the pathof the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when workingaround or cleaningthe fan.
10. Do not usewater or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades.
A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for
most cleaning.
11. After making electrical connections, all wired connecting nuts
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart so that the green and white
wires are on one side of the outlet box and the black and blue
wires are onthe other side.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not
packed with the fan must be CUL Listed and marked suitable for
use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be CUL
General Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with
the light kitsand switches forproper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLETBOX MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR
FAN SUPPORT.
5. The outlet box andsupport structure mustbe securely mountedand
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only
CUL Listedoutlet boxes markedFOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from
the trailing edgeof the bladesto the floor.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in
motion. The fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before
reversing the blades direction.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE ARMS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS BRACKETS) DURING ASSEMBLY
OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF
THE BLADES.

Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing CUL listed
mounting box, then read the following
instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate
fasteners and building materials. The outlet
box and its support must be able to fully
support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 lbs).Do not useplastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different
ways to mountthe outlet box.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar.(Fig.3) (available at
any Home Depotstore).

3. Installing Your Fan

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power.
Follow the steps below to hang your fan
properly.
1. Attach the mounting plate to the outlet box
using the two screws and washers provided
with the outlet box.(Fig. 4). For best
performance be sure the mounting plate is
level and secured firmly against the ceiling.
You may need to insert additional washers
(not provided) between the outlet box and
mounting plate to make it level.
2. Carefully Lift the fan motor assembly
(without the blades) and insert the T section
of the motor housing plate into the slot in the
mounting plate as shown in Fig. 5.
3.
You are now ready to make the electrical
connections.

Making the Electrical
Connections
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your
household wiring. Use the wire connecting nuts
supplied with your fan.Secure the connectors with
electrical tape. Make sure thereare no loose strands
or connections.
Step 1 Connect the fan supply (black) wire and
light supply (blue) wire to the black household
supply wire as shown inFigure 6.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to the
white neutral household wire.
household
REMEMBER to disconnect the power. If you feel
that you do not have enough electrical wiring
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed
by a licensed electrician.
Step 3 Connect the two green fan ground wires,
located on the mounting plate and motor, to the
ground wire.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISKOF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOTUSE AWALL
MOUNTED SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROL
WITH THIS FAN. IT WILL PERMANENTLY
DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY.
Step 4 After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so that the green and white wires are on
one side of the outlet box and the black wire is
on the other side.
Step 5 Turn the connecting nuts upward and
push the wiring into theoutlet box.

Finishing the
Installation
1. Swing the motor assembly up into position
under the mounting bracket. Secure the
bracket to the plate with the screws provided.
(Fig. 7)
2. Carefully lift the motor housing onto the
mounting plate, properly align the holes
and tighten the motor housing with the 3
screws supplied.(Fig. 8)

9. Operating Your Fan
Turn on the power and check the operation of
your fan. There are two pull chains available in
your fan:
1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan speed
as follows:
1-Pull = HighSpeed
2-Pulls = MediumSpeed
3-Pulls = LowSpeed
4-Pulls = FanOff
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling
height, number offans, and soon.
2. Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch up) orreverse (switch down).
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Figure 12. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a higher setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An
upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Figure 13. This allows you to
set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort.
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.

Figure 13

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. 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.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The
motor has permanentlylubricated bearings.

11. Troubleshooting
Problem
Fan will notstart.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuitfuses or breakers.
2. Check linewire connections tothe fan andswitch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power isoff.
1. Make sureall motor housingscrews are snug.
2. Make surethe screws thatattach the fanblade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make surewire nut connectionsare not rubbingagainst each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power isoff.
4. Allowa 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is
also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type
of control, chooseand install anothertype of control.
7. Make surethe upper canopyis a shortdistance from the ceiling. It should nottouch the ceiling.
1. Check thatall blade andblade 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 abovethe tip ofone of theblades. Measure thisdistance.(Fig. 14) Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement.Repeat for eachblade. The distance deviation should be equal within1/8".
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the
weight and possiblyresult in smootheroperation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING,
BALANCING THE BLADES,OR CLEANING THEFAN. DONOT INSERTFOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FANBLADES.
