before beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.
To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.
All
electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric
Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a
qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling
members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor.
4. When mounting on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as "suitable for fan support"
"suitable for fan support"
is required. The
box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan's listed weight. The box
must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by qualified
personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the
carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure
that you do not mix fan blade sets
do not mix fan blade sets
, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. 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 common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the "HOT" wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
10. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. The fan must be turned off and the blades
stopped before reversing the blades direction.
Notice:
Notice:
This appliance is equipped with a "Wattage Limiting Device" required by the United States Department of

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans, etc.
The reverse switch is located on top of the motor assembly. Slide the switch to the Left for warm weather operation.
Slide the switch to the Right for cool weather operation.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather-(Counter-Clockwise direction) A downward air flow creates a cooling effect.(Fig. 3) This allows you
to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather-(Clockwise direction) An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area.(Fig. 4) This allows you
to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking
or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades.
If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.
TROUBLESHOOTING - INCASE OF DIFFICULTY
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.
1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan housing
wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the
screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling
against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s)
are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not
vibrating against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to
the motor. Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware
and shades are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip
to blade tip. If measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm
one at a time and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and
result in smoother operation. Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different
than the other blades when viewed edge on. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket.
Make sure these are tight and the ball is completely seated in the bracket.
