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.

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- 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.
2. Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch left) or reverse (switch right).
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE REVERSING
THE DIRECTION OF THE BLADE ROTATION.
Figure 16
Figure 17
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as
shown in Figure 16. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An upward
air flow moves warm air off the ceiling are as
shown in Figure 17. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without affecting
your comfort.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.
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.)
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. Do not use
water when cleaning. 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.
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.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan.
Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor hub
is tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between hanger bracket and outlet box.
