Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly. NOTE:
This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of
hanging assemblies; the standard ceiling
installation using the downrod with ball and
socket mounting and the "flushmount"
installation. The "flushmount" installation is
recommended in rooms with less than 8-foot
ceilings or in areas where additional space is
desired from the floor to the fan blades. When
using the standard 4 1/2" downrod, the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the
fan blades will be approximately 12 1/2
inches. The "flushmount" installation reduce
this distance to 8-inches. Once you have
selected which mounting system you will use,
proceed with the following instructions. Where
necessary, each section of the instructions will
note the different procedures to follow for the
two types of mounting.
STANDARD CEILING INSTALLATION

Attaching the Fan
Blades
NOTE: Your fan blades are reversible. Select
the blade side finish which best accentuates
your decor.
Your fan features revolutionary advancements
for quick and easy blade installation.
The screws are already installed on the
blade arms, attach the blade arm support
plate and blades to the blade arms using the
screws already installed on the blade arms.
Be sure the screws on the blade arms slide
to the narrow portion of the key hole slot on
the blade arm support plate, by pushing the
tab back until the rectangle plastic band falls
into the hole on the blade (this locks the
blade assembly). To remove the blade from
the blade arm, pull the rectangle plastic
band up and slide the screws toward the
wide portion of the key hole slot on the
blade support plate. This will loosen the
blade and blade arm support plate and this
will allow you to remove the blade from the
blade arm. (Fig. 16)
Fasten blade assembly to motor using the
screws supplied. (Fig. 17)

9. Operating Your Fan
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 Speed
2-Pulls = Medium Speed
3-Pulls = Low Speed
4-Pulls = Fan 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 - (Forward) A downward air
flow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Figure 18. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown
in Figure 19. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort. Figure 18
Figure 19

Care of Your Fan 10.
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".

11. Troubleshooting
Problem 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. 20) 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.
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
