For 5HS52XXS-L Series Fans

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes 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 con-
ductor 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.)
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.
The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heat-
ing equipment manufacturer’s guideline safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
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.

Before you begin installing the fan, Switch
power off at Service panel and lock service dis-
connecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service dis-
connecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
Before installing this fan make sure the outlet box is
properly installed to the house structure. 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.)
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support
(must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to
outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securley fas-
tened by at least two points to a structural ceil-
ing member ( a loose box will cause the fan to
wabble). Use only the screws provided with
the outlet box.
Loosen the 2 set screws in
yoke for downrod to slip into yoke. Insert
downrod into yoke on top of the Fan Body.
Align the hole in the Downrod with the hole in
the Yoke. Insert the Pin through the Yoke and
Downrod until the point appears on the other
side. Install the Keeper Pin
Tighten the 2 Set screws on the Yoke
once the downrod is in place. Check
motor for shipping stabilizers and
remove if present.
Tread leadwires and safety cable first
through the canopy disk, Canopy and
lastly downrod.

Installation

Hang assembled fan from the mounting bracket
installed to ceiling in previous step. Make sure the
fan is hanging straight. Rotate fan until the tab on
the Mounting bracket engages the slot on the
Downrod Ball. This must be done to prevent the fan
body from rotating when the blades are in motion.
7
Make wire connections to power source using wire nuts
provided. Make sure that no filiments are outside of
the wirenut. After making the wire connections, the
wires should be spread apart with the grounded con-
ductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on
the other side of the outlet box.

Install 3 x 60 watt Candelabra base bulbs.
Bulbs Included.
WARNING: Over lamping the fan will
result in the fan lights shutting down
until the proper wattage of bulbs are
installed. Reset the lights by turning off
the wall switch, breaker, or by remote.
Replace bulbs with the correct wattage
bulbs, turn the power on.
32

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.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when
switch is in the middle.
4.Make sure that shipping stabilizer tabs have been removed from motor (see installation step #13).
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.If using an optional Ceiling Fan Light Kit, check to be sure the screws securing the glassware are
finger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibra-
tion persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4" wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an
insulator. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE
a Solid State variable speed control.
6.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. (See illustration in
Step #6 of Downrod Mount installation).
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 ceil-
ng. 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 bulbs.
WARNING: Over lamping the fan will result in the fan lights shutting down until the proper
wattage of bulbs are installed. Reset the lights by turning off the wall switch, breaker, or by remote.
Replace bulbs with the correct wattage bulbs, turn the power on.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

1. If fan does not start:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
