off at the circuit breakeror fuse boxbefore beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a
qualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use
this fan withany solid-state fanspeed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the riskof personal injury, use only the two steel

Tools Required
Phillips screwdriver, straight slot
screwdriver, adjustablewrench, step ladder,
and wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing CUL listed
mounting box, then read the following
instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate
fasteners and buildingmaterials. The outlet
box and its support must be able to fully
support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes.
Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mountthe outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on asteep, sloped ceiling.
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 yourHampton Bay Retailer).

wire from theA/C supplysource.
!White wire from fan to White wire from
the A/Csupply source.
!Connect the fan ground wire (green) to
the household groundwire.
4. If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or
bare copper) connect the wall transmitter's
ground wire to it; otherwise connect the wall
transmitter's ground wire directly to one of

This fan comes with 3 blades, following the
below procedure foraccurate 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 installation. Starting a screw into
the bracket and blade, repeat for the other 2
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.
1. 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. (Figure14)
7. Attaching the Fan Blades
2. 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 Figure15.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THERISK OF PERSONALINJURY,
DO NOT BENDTHE BLADE HOLDERS
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 weightmatched.
The following procedure should correct
most fan wobble. Check after eachstep.
1. Check that all blade and blade bracket
screws are secure.
2. 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 this distance as
shown in Figure 16.Rotatethefan until
the next blade is Positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade.
The distance should be equal within
1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit
if the bladewobble is stillnoticeable.
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.

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
ATTEMPTANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE
SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS".
9. Care of Your Fan
Restore power to ceiling fan and test for
proper operation.
The fan 4-speed control is used to set the fan
speed as follows:
0= Turnsthe fan off
1= High Speed
2= Medium HighSpeed
3= Medium Speed
4= Low Speed

Troubleshooting 10.
Problem
Fan will notstart.
Fan sounds noisy.
Solution
1.Check circuit fusesor breakers.
2. Check linewire connections tothe fan and switch wire connectionsin the switchhousing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power is off.
3. Check tomake sure thedip switches from the transmitter andreceiver are setto the samefrequency.
1. Make sureall motor housingscrews are snug.
2. Make surethe screws thatattach the fan blade bracket tothe motor hubis tight.
3. Make surewire nut connectionsare not rubbing against each otheror the interiorwall of theswitch housing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power is off.
4. Allowa 24-hour "breaking-in"period. Most noise associated with anew fan disappearduring this time.
5. If usingan optional lightkit, make sure the screws securingthe glassware aretight. Check that light bulb is
also secure.
6.Some fan motorsare sensitive tosignals from solid-state variable speed controls.
If you have installed this typeof control, chooseand install anothertype of control.
7. Make surethe upper canopyis a short distance from theceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
