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
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 warn-
ing 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 dia-
grams.
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
7feet 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.) Use only the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
Do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotat-
ing 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.
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
heating 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 authori-
ties.
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.

Installation
Loosen the 2 set screws in yoke
for downrod to slip into yoke.
5
Use metal outlet box suitable for
fan support (must support 35
lbs). Before attaching fan to out-
let box, ensure the outlet box is
securley fastened by at least two
points to a structural ceiling
member ( a loose box will cause
the fan to wobble). Use only
the screws provided with the
outlet box.
3
Remove the cotter pin and cross pin
from downrod. Replace cotter pin
into cross pin and save for later
steps.
6
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support
(must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to
outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securley
fastened by at least two points to a structural
ceiling member ( a loose box will cause the fan
to wobble). Install the mounting bracket with
the 2 screws provided with the outlet box.
Use only the screws provided with the out-
let box.

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.

3” lag screws provided. Make sure that when the
safety cable is fully extended the leadwires are
longer than the cable and no stress is placed on
the leadwires.

Setting the dip switch and learning
function of the Remote controller
Turn the power on of the fan and press " set " within 60 seconds ( press and
hold the set button for at least 5 seconds ). If the fan includes a light, the light
will flash twice indicating the success of the learning function setting.
If you cannot finish the setting in 60 seconds. Turn the power off for at least 5
seconds and then turn the power on again and press " Set " for at least 5 sec-
onds within 60 seconds.
The fan will go to the last factory setting. This could be any speed or off.
If you have more than 1 fan with the Remote controller, you will have to change
the DIP switch settings of the Remote Transmitter located beside the battery
compartment of the remote. There is no dip switch on the Receiver.
Make sure that the power is off to at least one of the fans.
Use the steps above to set the learning function for the first fan.
Turn the power off to the first fan and power on the second fan and use the
setting above to set the learning function on the second fan.
When completed, turn both fans on.
To set 2 fans to the same transmitter use the steps above with both fans
powered on.

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.
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 fin-
ger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration
persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4" wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insula-
tor
. 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.
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 junc-
tion 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 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.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing or canopy.
Mounting of fan for top performance, see below.
Note:Mount fan at least 3 ft from any wall, if possible.
Mount fan with 3 ft of blade to ceiling clearance when mounted on vaulted or angled ceilings.
Fan blades Must maintain 7 feet from the floor .
2. If fan sounds noisy:
1. If fan does not start:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
