1. Safety Rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned
off at the circuit breakeror fuse boxbefore beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the 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 risk of personal injury, use only the two
steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the fan. 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 ifin doubt.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of 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 use water 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, spliced conductors should be
turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires
should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor onone side ofthe outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light kits that are not packed
with the fan must be CULListed 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 kits and
switches for properassembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCETHE RISK OFFIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCKOR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKEDACCEPTABLE
FOR FANSUPPORT.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only
CUL Listedoutlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with aminimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge ofthe blades tothe floor.
7. Do notoperate the reverseswitch while fan blades are in motion. Fan
must be turned off and blades stopped before reversing blade
direction.

and wire cutters.
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 buildingmaterials. The outlet
box and its support must be able to fully
support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes.
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).

straight.
Step 3 Fasten the blade arm to the motor by
insert the tab from the blade arms to the slot in
the bottom motor housing, then tighten the two

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 Check after
each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade bracket
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 15. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance should beequal within 1/8".
wobbling problems.
3. Use the enclosed blade balancing kits 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.

Installing the Mounting
Plate
Step 1. Remove 1 of the 3 screws from the
mounting ring and loosen the other 2 screws. (Do
not remove)
Step 2. Place the key holes on the mounting plate
over the 2 screws previously loosened from the
mounting ring, turn mounting plate until it locks in
place at the narrow section of the key holes.
Secure by tightening the 2 screws previously
loosened and the one previously removed. (Fig. 16)

Care of Your Fan 10.
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 pulls- High, 2 pulls- Medium, 3
pulls- Low,and 4 pulls- Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, numberof fans, and so on.
3. Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch l ) or reverse (switch ).
eft right
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air
flow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure
19. This allows you to set yourair conditioner on
a higher settingwithout affecting yourcomfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in
Figure 20. This allows you to set your heating
unit on a lower setting without affecting your
comfort.
NOTE
WAITFOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
Figure19
Figure 20
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 anelectrical 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 permanently lubricated
bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THEPOWER IS OFFAT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFOREYOU ATTEMPT
ANY REPAIRS. REFER TOTHE
SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICALCONNECTIONS"

11. Troubleshooting
Problem
Fan will notstart.
Fan sounds noisy.
Solution
1.Check circuit fusesor breakers.
2. Check linewire connections tothe fan and switch wire connectionsin the switchhousing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power is off.
1. Make sureall motor housingscrews are snug.
2. Make surethe screws thatattach the fan blade bracket tothe motor hubis tight.
3. Make surewire nut connectionsare not rubbing against each otheror the interiorwall of theswitch housing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power is off.
4. Allowa 24-hour "breaking-in"period. Most noise associated with anew fan disappearduring this time.
5. If usingan optional lightkit, make sure the screws securingthe glassware aretight. Check that light bulb is
also secure.
6.Some fan motorsare sensitive tosignals from solid-state variable speed controls.
If you have installed this typeof control, chooseand install anothertype of control.
7. Make surethe upper canopyis a short distance from theceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

These are approximatemeasures. They do not include Amps andWattageused by the light kit.
