and wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing ULlisted 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 buildingmaterials. 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 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mountthe outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on asteep, sloped ceiling.
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4
(available at yourHampton Bay Retailer).

shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse boxbefore wiring.
NOTE: This remote control unit is equipped
with 16 code combinations to prevent
possible interference from or to other remote
units. The frequency switches on your
receiver and transmitter have been preset at
the factory. Please recheck to make sure the
switches on transmitter and receiver
are set to the same position, any
combination of settingswill operate the fan as
long as the transmitter and receiver are set to
the same position.(Figure 8)
Step 1. (Figure 9) Insert the receiver into
the mounting bracket with the flat side of
the receiver facingthe ceiling.
Step 2. (Figure 10) Motor to Receiver
Electrical Connections: Connect the black
wire from the fan to black wire marked "TO
MOTOR L". Connect the white wire from
the fan to the white wire marked "TO
MOTOR N" from the receiver. Connect the
blue wire fromthe fan to the blue wire marked
"For Light" from the receiver.Secure the wire
connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided.

connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided.
Step 4. (Figure 10) If your outlet box has a
ground wire (green or bare copper) connect it
To the fan ground wires; otherwise connect
the hanging bracket ground wire to the
mounting bracket. Secure the wire
connection with a plastic nut provided. After
connecting the wires spread them apart so
that the green and white wires are on one side
of the outlet box and black and blue wires are
on the other side. Carefully tuck the wire
connections up intothe outlet box.
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum
distance of 20 feet from the transmitting unit
for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit andthe fan's receiving unit.
CHANGING THE DOWNROD
(OPTIONAL)
NOTE: Your fan comes with a 4" downrod
attached to the hanger ball. In addition you
have been provided with a 6" downrod to use
if desired. If you choose to use the 6"
downrod, perform thefollowing steps:
1. Remove the hanger ball from the 4"
downrod by loosening the set screw at the
top of the downrod which holds the hanger
ball to thedownrod.
2. Slide the hanger ball down the downrod
and remove thesupport pin.
3. Insert thesupport pin in the holes atthe top
of the 6" downrod and slide the hanger ball
up the 6" downrod. Make sure the support
pin is properly seated in the grooves in the
top of thehanger ball.
4. Tightenthe set screwfirmly.

Attaching the Fan
Blades
Insert the blade through the slots in the bottom
band. Align the holes from the blade to the holes
from the motor and secure in place with screws
provided.(Figure 12)
Figure 12
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 should beequal within 1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if
the blade wobbleis still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable,
interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result insmoother operation.
