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.

Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off th the power. 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" installation. The "close-to-ceiling"
installation is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-feet ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the floor to
the fan blades. When using the standard 4
1/2" downrod, the distance from the ceiling
to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 inches. The "close-to-
ceiling" installation reduce this distance to 8-
inches. Once you have selected which
mounting system you will use, proceed with

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 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 16. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distance should be equal within
1/8".

Fob
Fan without Light Kit
(Optional)
Your fan is designed with light kit, we also
prepare a empty switch box cover for your
choice in case you intend to install the fan
without light kit. Proceed the followings for
switch box assembly:
NOTE: Light bulbs have no warranty, can
be purchased at local light bulb specialty
store or from our service center.

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 down) or reverse (switch up)
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air
flow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Figure 19. 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 20. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.

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 "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS"
Care of Your Fan 12.

Troubleshooting13.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
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 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.
