GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electrical connections must be made in
accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring
and products, secure the services of a qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive
ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system marked
acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws provided with 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.
Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be at least 10 feet from
floor.
Blades should be attached before motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready to be
installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part
of a weighted set.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be
spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed per the light kit’s
installation instructions.
After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and/or causing damage or injury.
The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under normal conditions,
further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
CAUTION: Do not ingest battery - Chemical bum hazard. Keep new and used batteries away from children.
The remote control supplied with a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal bums in just
2 hours and can lead to death.
If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this fan should only be used with fan speed control part no. JY1126T manufactured by
Satellite Electronic (Zhongshan) Ltd.
Note: Suitable for use in damp locations. Use only with light kits marked “Suitable for use in damp locations.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS:
• Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional lighting.
• Support directly from building structure.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use mounting
screws provided with 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.
• Do not use an incandescent light dimmer. Do not use this fan with any transformer type fan speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not
insert any objects(s) between rotating fan blades.
NOTE:
The important precautions, safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions

CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound
during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience
any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

PROBLEM
2. Check line wire connections to fan housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other
position, not stuck in between.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.
1. Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight).
2. Check that the screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch
housing.
4. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used.
5. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.
1. Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to the
motor.
2. Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and
shades are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade
tip to blade tip.
3. If measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm one at a
time and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal.
4. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation. Blade arms can be bent
slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed edge on.
5. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket. Make sure these are tight and the ball
is completely seated in the bracket.
6. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
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.
1. Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
