WARNING
TO REDUCE THERISK OF PERSONALINJURY,
DO NOT BENDTHE BLADEARMS
WHILE INSTALLING,BALANCING THE
BLADES, OR CLEANINGTHE FAN. DO NOT
INSERT FOREIGNOBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FANBLADES.
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 wobbling problems. Check after
each step.
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 as shown in Figure 12. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance should be equal within
1/8".
deviation
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit 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.

9. Installing the Light Kit
NOTE: Before starting installation,
disconnect the power by turningoff the circuit
breaker or removing the fuseat fuse box.
Turning power off using the fan switch is
not sufficient to preventelectric shock.
1. Remove the 1 of 3 screws from the
mounting ring and keep it for future use.
Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove)
2. Place the key holes on the switch housing
over the 2 screws previously loosened from
the mounting ring, turn the switch housing
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. (Figure 13)
3. Make the wire connections: Connect the 9-
pin plug from the fan to the 9-pin plug from

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 ofshoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
