Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions
1
To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this
fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently
damage the electronic circuitry.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws
provided with the outlet box.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only UL
Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
Avoid placing objects in path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
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.
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 on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the
other side of the outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before

Blade Balancing
Check that all blade and blade holder screws
are secure.
Most fan wobble 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 from a point on the
center of each blade to the point on the ceiling.
Measure this distance as shown in Figure 12.
Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each blade.
Measurements deviation should be within 1/8˝.
Run the fan for 10 Minutes.
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.
