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:Toreducetheriskoffire,electric
shock, or other personal injury, mount fan
onlyonanoutletboxorsupportingsystem
markedacceptableforfansupportof35lbs
(15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws
provided with the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
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
of7feetclearancefromthetrailingedgeof
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.
Switches must be UL General Use
Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN
TO OUTLET BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT". WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE
BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
Ifthereisn'tanexistingULlistedmounting
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.

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)

12. OPERATING YOUR FAN
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before
changing the setting of the slide switch.
Turnonthepowerandchecktheoperation
of your fan. The pull chain controls the fan
speed as follows: 1 pull- High, 2
pulls-Medium,3 pulls- Low, and4pulls-Off.
Lightpullchain itcontrols thelightin"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 down) or reverse (switch
up)
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward
airflowcreatesa coolingeffect asshown in
Fig. 20. 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. 21. This allows you to set
your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

13. 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.
