READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO
INSTALL THE FAN AND SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.
All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets,
balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
Before changing the fan direction, turn off the fan and wait for the fan blades to stop completely.
The safeguards provided by these safety instructions and by the separate installation
instructions 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 can not be built into this product.
These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, caring for and operating the fan.
TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE SURE TO SHUT OFF POWER AT THE MAIN
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS
FIXTURE. TURNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BY USING THE LIGHT SWITCH
IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, INSTALL THE FAN SO THAT THE BLADES ARE
AT LEAST 7 FEET (2.1 METERS) ABOVE THE FLOOR AND AT LEAST 18 INCHES
(0.5 METERS) FROM THE TIP OF THE BLADES TO THE WALL.

WARNING:
As per EPACT 2005 requirements, this fan light has a built-in current limiting device to conserve
energy. The fan light will not operate if the combined wattage of the installed bulbs exceeds 190
Watts. If the fan light shuts off shortly after being switched on, it may be due to excessive current
demand. You should replace the light bulbs with lower wattage bulbs.
NOTE: Before installing blade
brackets to the motor, please
remove the plastic inserts.

Trouble Shooting Guide
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation
or wiring. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Guide. If a problem cannot be
remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Department
(1-800-887-6326).
PROBLEM
1. If fan does not start:
2. If fan sounds noisy:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in bottom or top position. Fan will not
operate when switch is in the middle.
3. Make sure that the wall control is turned "ON".
4. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug. (not over tightened)
2. Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the motor are tight.
3. 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.
4. If using an optional ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing
the glassware are finger tight. Make sure light bulb is tight in socket and
not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and
install a 1/4 in. Wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace
glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. 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.
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting plate are tightened securely to ceiling
junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4. Most wobble problems of fan are caused when blades are not in equal level. To
check the blade levels, select a point on the ceiling above the tip of any blade.
Measure the distance from the ceiling to the blade tip, to an accuracy of 1/8
inch. Rotate the blades until the next blade is in the measuring position. Repeat
measurement for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust
blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a
washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade bracket at the screw
closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied)
between the blade and blade bracket at the two screws farthest from the motor.
5. Interchanging two adjacent blades could redistribute the weight and possibly result
in smoother operation.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from supply wire
coming out of the ceiling.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main circuit is turned off before entering switch housing.
SUGGESTED REMEDY

DYNAMIC BLADE BALANCING KIT
Your ceiling fan may sometimes have wobbling problems when operating due to irregularity in the
blades or the blade holders. Also, improper assembly in the mounting system or crooked bearings
may cause some additional problems. This balancing kit can be used to fix wobbling problems.
1. Make certain that all blades are firmly screwed into the blade holder.
2. Make sure that all blade holders are firmly secured to the motor housing and check that the pitch
of blade holders are all the same.
3. By looking up at the fan from below, check and be certain that none of the blade holders are bent
and that none of the blades are out of position. A correction can be made by very gently bending
the blade holder back into position.
4. Use a yardstick to check the blade tracking. Put the yardstick up against the ceiling vertically and
against the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the edge of blade to the ceiling.
Carefully turn the blades slowly by hand to check the remaining blades. If the blade is not in
alignment, the blade holder may be gently bent up or down to be in line with the other blades.
After following all the steps and if the wobbling problem is not solved, a dynamic balancing needs
to be done by balancing kit. Follow the procedure listed below:
Turn the fan on and adjust the speed control (usually high speed) setting to the speed which
creates the greatest wobble.
Turn the fan off. Select one blade and place the balance clip on it, halfway between the blade
holder and the blade tip on the rear edge of the blade.
Turn the fan on. Watch to see if the wobble is improved or worsened. Turn the fan off again and
move the clip to another blade and test again. Repeat this process with all blades and then note
the blade which is the most improved.
Move the clip back to the blade which showed the most improvement. Move the clip inward and
outward on this blade and operate the fan to find the position where the clip gives the most
improvement.
Next remove the clip and install a balancing weight to the top of the blade along the centerline
near the point where the clip was positioned. Use a sharp knife or razor to separate the weights.
Caution: Stay clear of the blades. If the clip, for any reason, is not secure, injury could result .
