SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been
turned o 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 fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, use mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of
the installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is
strongly recommended.
4. 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”.
5. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t 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 moving weight of the fan
(at least 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)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure you have turned o the
power at the main circuit panel.
NOTE: In the Transmitter, Set Dip Switch #4 to the D position.This enables
the dimming function because your ceiling utilizes an LED light fixture that is
dimmable. (See Fig.12)
If this switch is set to the X position it will disable the dimming function of
your fixture.
NOTE: The remote control system is equipped with 16 possible frequency
combinations to prevent interference from or with other remote control 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 settings will operate
the fan as long as the transmitter and receiver are set to the same position.
(Fig. 12)
Step 1. Insert the receiver into the ceiling mounting bracket with the flat side
of the receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 13) For best performance, make sure the
Black Antenna, on the end of the receiver, remains extended and not tangled

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Fan will not start. 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.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly.
4. Ensure the batteries have a good charge.
Fan sounds noisy. 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 disappear 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. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible
with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the
ceiling.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
Fan wobble. 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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO ENUSRE THE PROPER
OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE
CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS
WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN
OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
Remote control
malfunction.
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.
2. Make sure the frequency dip switches in the transmitter and receiver have identical settings.
3. Make sure the Black Antenna on the receiver is NOT tangled with any other electrical wires
and is extended around the inside of the ceiling canopy.
