costs of removing and reinstalling the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident, misuse, improper
installation or by afxing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not
cover any changes in brass nish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass nishes of this type give the longest
useful life when protected from varying weather conditions. A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a
defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render the warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. We hereby
disclaim any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent
permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the

you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with product use or
performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of product as part of a
claim on the warranty must be paid by the customer.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL Listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box (not included) directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not
included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully
support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not
use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (not included).
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (not included) as
shown above.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.
Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch
housing.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket
and outlet box.
Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by
loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:
- Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and measure
from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in.
- If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service
(1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary blade balancing kit.
- If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order complimentary
replacements of your brackets.
