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 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.)
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 heating equip-
ment 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.

done so the units will communcate properly.If you
have other fans you can set to control from one
transmitter by setting both receivers the same as the
transmitter. If you have more than one fan with
remote. You can set the dip switches to different
positiosns to have seperate control.

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 fre-
quency.
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.Makesure 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.Dynamic balancing involves ‘counter-weighting’. By using a small weight opposite to the point of
wobble, you can in almost all cases eliminate the wobble. The procedure requires much trial and
error,and a certain amount of patience to achieve the correct position of the counterweight. A)
Determine which fan speed causes the most wobble. This will almost always be the highest speed.
B) Turn the fan off. Select any one blade and place the balance clip half way between the blade tip
and blade holder, on the rear edge of the blade. Caution: Be careful to stay clear of the blades
when running. If the clip is not secure, injury may result from the clip flying off. C) Turn
the fan on. Observe if the wobble is better or worse. Turn the fan off and move the clip to the next
blade. Do the same for all blades and note on which blade the clip improves the wobble the most.
D) Place the clip on the blade which showed the most improvement and by trial and error move the
clip in and out along the blade to find the position which most improves the wobble. E) Remove the
clip and discard. Once the exact position is determined, place a weight on bottom of the metal
blade holder on its centerline. Press the weight firmly to ensure it is firmly attached to the blade
holder. Add more weight as needed to balance.
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.
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.
WARNING: Before attempting to replace the fuse make sure the main power is turned off to
the fan. Replace only with a 3 amp fuse. (Fuse is inside the canopy on the blue and orange
wires to remote receive, push and twist the cap to open the fuse case).
