Thank you for purchasing this quality product. To ensure correct function and safety, please read and save all
instructions before using the product
To avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or
before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
Read all instructions and safety information carefully before installing your fan and save these instructions.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes or ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with
electric wiring, please use a qualified and licensed electrician.
Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allow clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet of clearance between the floor and
the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted at least thirty (30) inches from walls or other upright structures.
WARNING: The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 100 pounds. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked acceptable for fan supported and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. The box must be supported directly by the building structure.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must UL listed and marked suitable for use with the
model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL. general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and
switches for proper assembly.
After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires
should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device, or rheostat.
Do not separate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.
Do not insert anything into the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets (also referred to as “flanges”) during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
Do not use water or detergent when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

3. THE FAN WOBBLES
Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once fan is properly
installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs aer running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:
a) select a point on the ceiling above the p of one of the blades. Then select the fan blade and measure from the center
of the selected blade to point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan unl the next blade is posioned and repeat the
measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade. Measurements should be within 1/8 inch.
b) If all deviaon are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parr
otuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit
- If all deviaons are less than 1/8 inch and the fan connues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotuncle
.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit
4. LIGHT IS NOT WORKING
Check Bulb to make sure it is installed correctly
Remove non-working bulb and replace with a bulb that is known to be a good working bulb
To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove baeries from
remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace baeries and turn power on

AFTER INSTALLATION
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble
NOTE:CEILING FANS TEND TO MOVE DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY
ARE MOUNTED ON A RUBBER CROMMET. IF THE FAN WAS MOUNTED RIGIDLY TO THE
CEILING, IT WOULD CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION. MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMENTERS
IS QUITE ACCEPTABLE AND DOES NOT SUGGEST ANY PROBLEM
WOBBLE”
TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE: PLEASE CHECK THAT ALL SCREWS WHICH SECURED THE MOUNTING
BRACKET AND DOWNROD ARE SECURE.
BALANCING A WOBBLING CEILING FAN:
For your convenience, a Balancing Kit is included; please follow this procedure when balancing the fan:
1.Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2.Most fan wobbling 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.Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within
1/8"(0.32cm).
3.Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade
wobble is still noticeable.
4.If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two
adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO
NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
NOISE
When it is quiet(especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. This is normal. Please allow
a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during the time.
CARE AND CLEANING
1.Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to
avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electricity power before you clean your fan
2.Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades
and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
3.Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.
