READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity
has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before beginning.
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.
CAUTION: Read all instructions and safety information
before installing your new fan. Review accompanying
assembly diagrams.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and
fire, do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed
control device.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount to UL Listed outlet box marked
“acceptable for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs.) or less”
and 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.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire les risques d'incendie, de
choc électrique ou de blessure, posez le ventilateur
seulement sur une boîte de sortie électrique ou tout
autre support portant une mention selon laquelle elle
peut supporter un ventilateur de 35 lb (15,9 kg) ou
moins, utilisez les vis de montage accompagnant la
boîte de sortie électrique. La plupart des boîtes de
sortie électriques généralement utilisées pour la pose
d'un appareil d'éclairage ne conviennent pas à la
suspension d'un ventilateur et peuvent nécessiter un
remplacement. En cas de doute, adressez-vous à un
électricien qualifié.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum
of 50 pounds.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the
floor. The tip of the fan blade to the nearest
wall/obstruction: 30 inches
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the
fan.
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.
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
grounded conductor and the equipment- grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that
are not packed with the fan must be UL and cUL Listed
and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be UL and cUL General Use
Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the
light kits and switches for proper assembly.

• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN WILL NOT START Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Check wall control LED indicator light. If LED is not illuminated when
pushing a button, it is not transmitting a signal. Please check battery,
power to wall control/ circuit breaker and all electrical connections.
Assure there are no more than 2 fans operating on a circuit through the wall
control. Assure that there are no more than 12 fans operating on a circuit
through an on/off wall switch or a breaker (not through a wall control).
Assure that the fan is within range of the wall control (30 ft.).
PROBLEM SOLUTION

4.
Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan
will disappear during this time.
Make sure all motor housing screws are securely fastened.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the fan are tight.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Check that all blade to motor and blade arm screws are secure.
If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
Make sure the mounting plate is securely fastened to the ceiling outlet box.
Make sure ceiling box is secure.
