3. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off 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 electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with any
solid-state fan speed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet
box marked "acceptable for fan support of
15.8 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.
5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only UL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge
of the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned
off and blades stopped before reversing
blade direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kit that are not packed with the fan
must be UL Listed and marked suitable for
use with the model fan you are installing.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO
REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT
INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
ATTENTION
Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
federal regulations require all ceiling fans
with light kits manufactured or imported
after January 1, 2009, to limit the total
wattage consumed by the light kit to 75
watts. Therefore, this product is equipped
with a 75W limiting device. If lamping
exceeds 75 watts, the light kit will shut off
automatically until the proper wattage of
bulbs are installed. Reset the light kit by
turning it off, replacing the bulbs with the
correct wattage, and then turning the
light kit back on.

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing UL 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: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an

13. OPERATING YOUR FAN
Turn on the power and check the
operation of your fan. The pull chain
controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull-
High, 2 pulls-Medium, 3 pulls- Low, and 4
pulls-Off.
Light pull chain it controls the light in "ON"
or "OFF".
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch left) or reverse (switch right)
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before
changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward
airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Fig. 18. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a warmer setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area
as shown in Fig. 19. This allows you to set
your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check
the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they
are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use
only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed
with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when
cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical
shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe
polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
14. CARE OF YOUR FAN
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT
ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

15. TROUBLESHOOTING
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor
hub is 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. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6. Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control (s).
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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND
THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
1. This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in
excess of 75 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your
light kit you must turn the power off and re lamp, keeping the
wattage under 75 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and
continue normal operation.
