Step 4.If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green
or Bare Copper) connect this wire to the Hanger Ball
and Hanger Bracket Ground wires. If your outlet box
does not have a Ground Wire, then connect the Hanger
Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure
wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided.
(Fig. 17 & 18)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there
are no loose strands. As an additional precaution we
suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the
wires with electrical tape.
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance
of 40 feet from the transmitting unit for proper signal
transmission between the transmitting unit and the
fan's receiving unit.

WARNING! HOOK UP "IN SERIES" ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT NEUTRAL SUPPLY WIRE OF
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT TO THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH, DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMITTER
WALL SWITCH AND POSSIBLE FIRE COULD OCCUR.
Step 1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall outlet box.
Step 2. Make the electrical connections as shown in Fig.18. If your outlet box has a ground
wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect the Transmitter's ground wire directly to one of the
screws from the outlet box . Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided.
Step 3. Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the outlet box. The Touch ControlTM
System provided with your fan includes two sets of face and decorative plate color options.
The wall control comes with a standard white faceplate attached. If you desire to replace it
with the Ivory color faceplate, use your fingernail or a small flat screwdriver and gently pry it
apart from the top or bottom of the plate. Use the screws provided to secure the wall
transmitter and wall plate to the outlet box. (Fig. 19) Fig.19

THE FOLLOWING OPERATION MUST BE
ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT.
Step 1. Attach the fan blades to the blade holders
using the screws & fiber washers provided. (Fig 21).
Step 2. Align holes from blade holder to motor and
secure with 2 screws provided. (Fig 22).
All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because natural
woods vary in density, the fan may wobble even
though the blades are weight matched. The following
procedure should correct most fan wobble. Check
after each step.

Here are some suggestions to help 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 the 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. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light
coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty.
Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the
blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently
lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy
water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN
HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER.
