WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE
INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NO INSERT FOREIGN
OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
CAUTION: Remove 5 rubber packing
mounts from fan motor assembly and
discard before installation. (Fig. 10)

NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
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- 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, number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward airflow creates a cooling
effect.(Fig. 13) 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.(Fig. 14) This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.

7. Operating Your Fan

Care of Your Fan 8.
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 permanently lubricated
bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT
THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY
REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION
"MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS"

9. Troubleshooting
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 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, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
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.(Fig. 15) Rotate the fan until
the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be
equal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute
the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE
BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
