Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, numberof fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on the switch
housing. Slide the switch to the Left for
warm weather operation. Slide the switch to
the Right forcool weather operation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing
the setting ofthe slide switch.
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise
direction) A downward airflow creates a
cooling effect. (Fig. 20) 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. 21) This allows you to set
your heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.
Restore power to the ceiling fan and test
for proper operation.

Installing the battery:
Install 12V MN21/A23 battery (not
included), to prevent damage to
transmitter, remove the battery if not used
for long periods.

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 THEPOWER IS OFFAT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFOREYOU ATTEMPT ANY
REPAIRS. REFER TOTHE SECTION "MAKING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

malfunction:
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.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.
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 noiseassociated 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 light bulb is also
secure.

Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control (s)
1. Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
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. 22) 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 OFPERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE
BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERTFOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
