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 off 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 different
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)

These are approximate measurements. They do not include data for any lamps or fixtures attached
to the ceiling fan.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side
facing out.
4. Insure the batteries have a good charge.
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 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. 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.
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. 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.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in
conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off 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.
