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.

ladder, and wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing UL 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 building materials. 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 and 2 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need
an installation hanger bar.(Fig.3)
(available at any Home Depot store).

Making the Electrical
Connections
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned off at
the circuit breaker or main fuse box before
wiring.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan
to your house supply wires. Secure the
wire nuts supplied with your fan by
wrapping the connections with electrical
tape.
Step 1. Connect the Black (hot) wire from
the ceiling to the black and blue wires from
the fan. Connect the white (neutral) wire
from the ceiling to the white wire from the
fan. (Fig. 6)
Step 2. If your outlet box has a ground wire
(green or bare copper) connect the fan and
mounting bracket ground wires to it. If your
outlet box does not have a ground wire,
then connect the fans and mounting
bracket wires together. Secure wire
connection with the plastic wire nuts
provided.

glass shade over the light kit stem, secure with the metal nut (rubber side on
the top), glass cap and decorative nut. Do not overtighten. (Fig. 12)
5. Insert the 2 pull chain through the eyelet in the shade and cap. Secure the
glass cap and decorative nut provided. (Fig. 12)
6. Restore power and your light kit is ready for operation.
Note: Make sure to leave enough space between the fan pull chain and the bulbs
so the chain doesn't rub against any of the bulbs.
While holding the light kit assembly under your fan, snap together the wire
connection plugs.

Restore power to ceiling fan and test for proper
operation.
Speed Pull Chain Operation:
This pull chain controls the fan speed as follows;
:
1-Pull = High Speed
2-Pulls = Medium Speed
3-Pulls = Low Speed
4-Pulls = Fan Off
The reverse slide switch located on the side of the
switch housing controls the direction of the blade
rotation:.
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend
on factors such as room size, ceiling height and
number of fans, etc.
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before changing
the setting of the slide switch
A
downward airflow creates a cooling effect.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on
a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
An upward
airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a
cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

9. Care of Your Fan
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 THE POWER IS OFF AT
THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY
REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION

CONNECTIONS"

Troubleshooting 10.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire 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 is 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 noise associated with a new fan disappear during this
time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the
light bulb is also secure.
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.
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.(Fig. 16) 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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING
THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
