Safety Tips
WARNIN : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWIN :
1. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards(ANSI/NFPA 70-1996), including fire-rated construction.
2. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacurer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Be cautious! read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly dia-
grams.
6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
7. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 10
feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, this fan must be mounted to an outlet box marked suitable for fan
support. And use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. (Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)
9. Do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotating
blades.
10.Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box.
11.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.
12.If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.
13.NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
14.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 authorities.
15.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.

If you have difficulty 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 difficulty
in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.

start:
TROUBLESHOOTIN UIDE
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
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.
Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT
USE a Solid State variable speed control.
Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after
this period.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause
the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should
eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble after each step.
Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box and
junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redis-
tribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to blue wire from Remote Receiver.
Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
Check for faulty light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
