1. TOOLS AND MATERIALS
REQUIRED

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local electrical
codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with any
solid-state fan speed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and lock
washers) provided with the outlet box for
mounting to 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.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be
securely mounted and capable of reliably
supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only
UL Listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN
SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7
feet clearance from the trailing edge of the
blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned off
and blades stopped before reversing blade
direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan
and other items, be cautious when working
around or cleaning the fan.
10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning
the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or
lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most
cleaning.
11. After marking 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.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light kit

6. MAKE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
Remember to disconnect the power.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your
household wiring. Use the wire connecting nuts
supplied with your fan. Secure the connectors with
electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose
strands or connections.
Step 1 Connect the fan supply (black) wire and
light supply (blue) wire to the black household
supply wire as shown in Figure 8.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to the
white neutral household wire.
Step 3 Connect green or bare copper wire from
outlet box to the hanger bracket and downroll
ball green ground wires together. (Figure 8)
Step 4 After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so that the green and white wires are on one
side of the outlet box and the black and the blue
wires are on the other side.
Step 5 Turn the connecting nuts upward and push
the wiring into the outlet box.
Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the wiring connections
for optional wall control (The wire color out of wall
control may vary, see wall control's installation
manual for correct wire connections.)
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER PERSONAL
INJURY. MOUNT FAN ONLY ON AN OUTLET
BOX OR SUPPORTING SYSTEM MARKED

8. OPERATING YOUR
FAN
Turn on the power and check the operation of your
fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as
follows:
3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan speed as
follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls- Medium, 3 pulls- Low,
and 4 pulls- Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the
setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 12. This
allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer
setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves
warm air off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 13.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler
setting without affecting your comfort.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior
wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight.
Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls.
If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not
touch the ceiling.
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".
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.
9. CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support
connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not
necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly
cause an electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".
