Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes and standards (ANSI/NFPA
70-1999), including fire-rated construction.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. 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 conduc-
tor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box. The splices, after being made, should be
turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
WARNING: Before you begin installing the fan, servicing or cleaning unit, 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.
WARNING: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Electric Shock, or Personal Injury, Mount To Outlet Box Marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9
kg (35 lbs) or less” And Use Mounting Screws Provided With The Outlet Box.
CAUTION: For Compliance with Local Codes and Regulations, If Installing The Secondary Support Safety Cable in the U.S., Do Not Remove
Knockouts In The Outlet Box. Mount the secondary support safety cable through the reserved nail/screw hole on the outlet box to the
building structure (or the ceiling joist).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
WARNING: 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.

Trouble Shooting
If you have difculty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation,
or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults,
please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difculty in
installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the
number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning: Before servicing or cleaning unit, 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.
1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3.If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed rmly
either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4.If this fan uses remote controller, make sure dip switches are setting properly and make
sure battery is effective.
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.Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.
5.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
6.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1.If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the
notch in the downrod ball.
2.Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to
ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted rmly to ceiling joist.
3.Check that all blades are screwed rmly into blade holders.
4.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
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 positioned 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 blue 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 bulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5.Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6.If this fan uses remote controller, make sure dip switches are setting properly and make
sure battery is effective.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or
canopy.
