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
installation.
WARNING: Use only with light kit marked “Suitable for Use in Wet
Locations”.

Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when installing
on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle
allowable is 22°. If the canopy touches downrod,
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and
turn the canopy 180°before attaching the canopy
to the mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation
hanger bar as shown in Figure 4 (available at any

Attaching the Fan Blades
For first and second blade assemblies: Remove
the screws from the motor, attach the first and
second blade assemblies to the motor using 3
screws provided, secured with Allen wrench.
(Figure 14)
For third blade assembly: Remove the screws
from the motor, attach the third blade assembly
to the motor by securing 2 of 3 screws provided
at first, secured with Allen wrench. Then attach
the third screw to the motor by going through
the holes on the first blade bracket and third
blade bracket, see Figure 15.

This fan comes with 3 blades, following the below
procedure for accurate installation:
Step 1. Attach the blades to the blade brackets
using the screws, nuts, metal washers and rubber
washers provided as shown in Figure 13, be sure
the jut on the blade bracket to be positioned on the
hole located on the blades before screw installa-
tion. Starting a screw into the bracket and blade,
repeat for the other 3 screws, DO NOT tighten too
much as the blades may crack.
Step 2. Tighten each screw securely starting with
the center screw. Make sure the blade is straight.
Step 3. Fasten the blade assemblies to the motor
following the below procedure for accurate
installation.

Blade Balancing
Check that all blade and blade bracket 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 16.
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.

The following procedure should correct most fan
wobble. Check after each step.

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.
1.
2.
3.
4.
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.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub
is tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between mounting bracket and outlet box.
