GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly
before beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All elec-
trical 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 when fan is operating.
4. If possible, mount ceiling fan on a ceiling joist - the joist must be able to support the motion and weight of the
moving fan. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as “suitable for fan
support” is required. The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35lbs.). 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 car-
ton 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, 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. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
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.
10. The fan must be turned off and stopped before reversing fan direction.

WARNINGS:
*Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount only to the building’s structure. Electrical
boxes (unsupported) or joist spanning braces not designed for fan support will not adequately support the fan.
*To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blades when installing them, balancing them or cleaning the
fan. Do not insert any object(s) between rotating fan blades.
Shipping supports have been placed between the motor and fan housing to protect the fan during shipment.
These should be removed and discarded after the fan is hung in place.
NOTE:
The important precautions, safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care
are factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing,
caring for and operating the unit.

Verify you have all parts before beginning the installation. Check foam insert closely for missing parts. Remove motor
from packing. To avoid damage to finish, assemble motor on soft padded surface or use the original foam inset in motor
box. Do not lay fan on its side as this could result in shifting of motor in decorative enclosure.
Caution:To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure elec-
tricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All
wiring must be in accordance with National and Local
Electrical Codes and the ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electric shock.
1. Locate ceiling joist where fan is to be mounted, being
sure location agrees with the requirements in the mini-
mum clearance safeguards section of the guide. Wood
joist must be sound and of adequate size to support 35
lbs. (Pg. 1, #4)

INSTALLATION OFREMOVABLE SWITCH HOUSING
NOTE: Be sure to turn the power off before installing.
1. If installing light kit, attach to switch housing per instructions supplied with light kit. See “Electrical
Connections” for hook up of light kit. Carefully remove light kit plug in bottom of switch housing.
2. Connect the plug and receptacle and make sure side buckle snaps in place.
3. Attach the switch housing to switch housing hub by aligning keyhole slots and tabs in both.
4. Align the side screw hole in switch housing hub. Insert and tighten side screw.
5. Turn the power on. Your fan is ready for operation.

Turn on the power and check operation of the fan. The fan is controlled by the use of the pull chain as follows:
one pull = high speed
two pulls = medium speed
three pulls = low speed
four pulls = off
For proper functions, ensure that the chain is pulled down fully and released each time.
Leave fan in “high speed” position when using optional wall control.
The slide switch on the side of the switch housing controls forward or reverse rotation. Make sure switch is not stuck
between forward and reverse position (forward is blades rotating counter clockwise, creating a downward air flow).
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to fan motor when changing direction of rotation, please be sure that fan is off and
blades have stopped moving completely before attempting to change direction.
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.
CAUTION: Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.
1. If fan will not start: Ch eck main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch
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.
