each section of the instructions will note the
different procedures to follow for the two types
of installation.
Standard Ceiling Mounting
1. Remove the canopy ring from the canopy
by turning the ring to the right until it un-
locks (Figure 5).
Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the pow-
er. 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 “close-to-
ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling”
mounting is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the oor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 inches. The “close-to-ceil-
ing” installation reduces the distance from
the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 8 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
Turn Canopy Ring to Remove

2. Remove the mounting plate from the canopy
by loosening the four screws on the top of
the canopy. Remove the two non-slotted
screws and loosen the slotted screws. This
will enable you to remove the mounting
plate (Figure 6).
3. Route the wires exiting the top of the fan
motor through the decorative motor collar
cover then the canopy ring. Make sure the
slot openings are on top. Route the wires
through the canopy and then through the
ball/downrod assembly (Figure 7).

BLADE BALANCING
All blades are grouped by weight. Because nat-
ural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble
even though the blades are weight matched.
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 BLADES.
Installing the Light Kit
and Glass Bowl
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect the electrical supply circuit
to the fan before installing light kit.

The following procedure should correct most
fan wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade brackets 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 from
a point on the center of each blade to the
point on the ceiling. Measure this distance
as shown in Figure 15. Rotate the fan until
the next blade is positioned for measure-
ment. Repeat for each blade. Measurement
deviations should be within 1/8”. Run the
fan for 10 minutes.
3. Use the enclosed Bladed Balancing Kit if
the blade wobble is still noticeable.
