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)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Each handset control carries a unique ID code to facilitate communication between paired
devices. The ID code is set by factory and is not user changeable. However, you will be required to
perform an “ID code learning” process manually under these circumstances:
• If you have multiple fans installed within a close proximity and want to control all fans using a same
handset control.
NOTE: Each fan requires its own receiver.
• When your remote control is not responding (make sure battery is not flat).
• After you have replaced a faulty transmitter or receiver with a new one.
Otherwise the remote control will not work. To perform this process manually, follow steps below:
After installing and wiring the unit, restore power to your fan, press and hold the LEARN key for 1-3
seconds, the fan will turn on at medium speed and light (if installed) will turn on. This confirms that
the learning process have been completed. This operation must be completed within 30 seconds
after restoring power to the fan. (Fig. 27)
NOTE: Ensure slide switch in battery compartment marked “D O” is set to “D” position. (Fig. 27)
Step 4. Replace the battery cover and tighten with screwdriver. (Fig. 27)

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. Positive (+) side facing out.
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.

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.
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.
