1. Safety Rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned
off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before 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 with any solid-state fan speed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the two
steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for
mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may
need to be replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be
turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires
should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not
packed with the fan must be UL Listed and marked suitable for use
with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits
and switches for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR
FAN SUPPORT.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only UL
Listed outlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion.
The fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing the
blades direction.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE ARMS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS BRACKETS) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN
THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

Blades
Step 1 Attach the blades to the blade brackets
using three screws and rubber washers as
shown in Figure 11. Start a screw into the
bracket, do not tighten. Repeat for the 2
remaining screws and washers.
Step 2 Tighten each screw securely starting
with the center screw. Make sure the blade is
straight.
Step 3 Fasten the blade brackets to the motor
by inserting the tab from the blade brackets to
the slot in the bottom motor housing, then
tighten the two screws and washers already
installed in the blade arms (Figure 12).
Step 4 Install an optional light kit if you wish.
Follow the instructions included with the kit.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS
WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE
BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT
INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
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 13. 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.

NOTE: Before starting installation, disconnect
the power by turning off the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse at fuse box.
(Turning power off using fan switch is not
sufficient to prevent electric shock.)
1. Remove the plug from the center of the
switch box cap.
2. Insert the two wires of light kit into the hole
of switch box cap and thread the switch box
cap onto the center tube of the light it until it
fits snugly. Place a lock washer and a
locking nut over the tube and tighten.
3. Pull down the white and blue wires from the
switch box housing (wires labeled "For
Light") to make wire connections.
4. Connect the white wire from the ceiling
fan to the white wire of the light kit; and
connect the blue wire from the fan to the
black wire of the light kit.
5. Ca r efu l l y tu c k all wi r es an d w ir e
connectors into the switch box housing.
6. Attach the switch box cap/light kit
assembly to the switch box housing by
replacing the screws removed in step 1.
7. Mount the glass shades to the light kit by
screwing the plastic screw ring to secure.
8. Install 3x40W (MAX.) Candelabra bulbs
(included).

Operating Your Fan. 10
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. The pull chain controls the fan speed
as follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls-Medium, 3
pulls- Low, and 4 pulls-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 left) or reverse (switch right).
Warm weather (Forward) A downward air
flow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Figure 16. 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 17. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a lower
setting without affecting your comfort.
Figure 16
Figure 17

11. Care of your Fan
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish
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 REPARIS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS"
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
secured. (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.

Trouble Shooting 12.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wires 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 are 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 noises associated with a new fan. They might disappear
during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that light bulb
is also secured.
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.
