fan support and may need to be replaced, consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan
support”.
6. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted
and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use
only CUL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
7. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance
from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
8. Do not operate reversing switch while fan blades are in motion.
Fan must be turned o and blades stopped before reversing
blade direction.
9. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
10. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items,
be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
11. 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.
12. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should
be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The
wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and
the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet
box.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there is not an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning o 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 full weight of the fan (up
to 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of dierent ways to mount the
outlet box.
NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted)
ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum
clearance of 12” is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for
installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger”
for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you
purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn the power on and check the operation of your ceiling fan. The
pull chain controls the fan speed as follows:
Step 1. 3-speed pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull =
High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low, and 4 pulls = o.
NOTE: To set the fan blades in reverse, the reverse slide switch is
located on the side of the switch housing.
Do not operate reversing switch while fan blades are in motion.
Fan must be turned o and blades stopped before reversing blade
direction.
Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise) A downward airflow
creates a cooling eect as shown in Fig. 16. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting without aecting your
comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An upward airflow moves warm
air o the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 17. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a cooler setting without aecting your comfort.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobbles.
Remote control
malfunction
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are 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 o.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight.Make sure the light bulbs are not
touching any other component.
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. 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. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a
basic On/O wall switch, if desired.
