Attach ring blade holder to blades with
the 6 screws provided as shown in fig. A
above. Make sure all screws holding
blades are tight before proceding to the
next step. Re-attach upper housing to
main body using reverse of step 5 as
shown in fig. B above.
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.
WARINING: MOUNT ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT. 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.

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 per-
sonal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting
system acceptable for fan support.
(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)
Unpack and inspect fan carefully to
be certain all contents are included.

A. Carefully lift fan assembly onto
mounting bracket. Rotate fan so that
the notch on the ball engages the
ridge in the mounting bracket. This
will allow hands-free wiring.
Install mounting bracket to outlet
box in ceiling using the screws and
washers provided with the outlet
box.
10
Remove canopy and downrod from polyfoam.
Slide canopy over downrod as pictured. Feed
lead wires through downrod and install down-
rod into fan yoke. Install cross pin with locking
washer through yoke and downrod making sure
to tighten securely. Install set screw into yoke
and tighten securely.
7
While the fan assembly is still on the
ground thread the safety cable
through the mounting bracket.
8
Lift fan assembly and install the safety cable
directly to the building structure using the 3”
lag screw and plain washer provided. Before
proceeding to the next step make sure that the
cable is properly installed and will support the
fan weight. Make sure the screw washer and
safety cable are installed using the order pic-
tured above.

Install 75W MAX JD type Halogen lamp into
lampholder. Install glass by turning clockwise
until locked in position.

Install 9v battery by removing cover on back of
transmitter and connecting to terminals and re-
install cover.
FAN SPEED Depress “1” for low speed, “2” for
medium or “3” for high. To turn fan off press “0”
LIGHT DIMMER To turn light on, press the button
with bulb icon once quickly. To turn off press once
quickly while the light is on. To dim light hold down
button and bulb icon. The light will cycle from
bright to dim to bright until button is released.
Light will maintain last setting if turned off. Note: If
power is interrupted to fan light will come on at
brightest setting.
17
Make connections as shown above. Make sure
all exposed conductors are in the wire nuts.
After all connections are made push wire nuts
into junction box with wire nuts pointing
upward.
14 WIRING DIAGRAM
Before installing the remote receiver. Make sure
the DIP switches in the transmitter and receiver
are set the same. Use instrument with a sharp
point to move the switches into the proper posi-
tions. The remote will not operate if this proce-
dure is not done. If interference from outside
transmitters or other remote devices is incoun-
tered, change the dip switch settings on both
transmitter and receiver.

Carefully insert remote receiver into the mount-
ing bracket. Make sure the antenna is not
pinched by running it through the mounting
bracket first (Fig.A). Receiver should be located
as pictured above (Fig.B). Make wiring connec-
tions as per step 12. Make sure that all wire nut
connections are tight with no exposed conduc-
tors. Point connectors upward and push into the
junction box.

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.
4.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when
switch is in the middle.
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 sup-
plied) 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 far-
thest 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 redis-
tribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to blue wire from remote receiver.
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:
Trouble Shooting
