1999), including fire-rated construction.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacurer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.
After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on
one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
Before you begin installing the fan, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
Be cautious! read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from
the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support.
(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs. (16kg.)).
Do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotating blades.
Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control.
If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.
NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
3.Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set on the same
frequency.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off
1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO
NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box
and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
5.Most fan wobble 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 from
blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is posi-
tioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can
adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer
(not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To
adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the
two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from
top of blade.
6.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1.Check wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4.Check for faulty light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
2. If fan sounds noisy:
1. If fan does not start:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
