Hanging the Fan
REMEMBER to turn off the power.
Follow the steps below to hang your
fan properly.
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two
types of hanging assemblies; the standard
ceiling installation using the downrod with
ball and socket mounting, and the “close-
to-ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling”
mounting is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the oor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 10 inches. The “close-to-ceil-
ing” installation reduces the distance from
the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 6 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
each section of the instructions will note the
different procedures to follow for the two
types of installation.

120v supply (this may be a bare wire or
a wire with green insulation) to the green
ground lead(s) of the fan (Figure 12).
When using standard ceiling mounting,
there are two green grounding leads;
one from the ceiling mounting plate and
one from the ball/downrod assembly.
When using Close-to-Ceiling mount-
ing, there is only one green ground lead
from the mounting plate since the ball/
downrod assembly is not used.
2. Connect the fan motor white wire to the
supply white (neutral) wire using a wire
nut (Figure 12).
3. Connect the fan motor black wire to the
supply black (hot) wire using a wire nut
(Figure 12).
WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN ON A SLOPED
CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD
MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. MAKE
SURE THE MOUNTING PLATE SLOTS ARE ON
THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE MOUNTING
PLATE FROM THE TOP DOWN.

Figure 13
Figure 14

9.
Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods vary in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weight
matched.
The following procedure should correct
most fan wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobble problems are caused
when blade levels are unequal. Check
this level by selecting a point on the ceil-
ing above the tip of one of the blades.
Measure from a point on the center
of each blade to the point on the ceil-
ing. Measure this distance as shown in
Figure 15. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. Measurement
deviations should be within 1/8”. Run
the fan for 10 minutes.
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if
the blade wobble is still noticeable.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE
INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN
OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING BLADES.
Figure 15
Fan without Light Kit
1. Remove the switch cap from the light kit.
2. Insert the plastic plug to the holes of the
switch housing.
3. Remove the three screws from switch
cap.
4. Attach the switch cap to switch housing
using the three screws that were

10. Operating Your Fan
Turn on the power and check the operation
of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan
speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls -
Medium, 3 pulls - Low and 4 pulls - Off.
The other pull chain controls the light On
and Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
The reverse switch on the light kit cup
(Figure 14) controls the direction of airow:
forward (switch down) or reverse (switch
up).

Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air
ow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Figure 15. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without af-
fecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward air
ow moves warm air off the ceiling are as
shown in Figure 16. This allows you to set
your heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.

11.
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 se-
cure. (It is not necessary to remove
the fan from the ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the
years. Do not use water when clean-
ing, this could damage the motor, or
the wood or possibly cause an electri-
cal shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-
free cloth to avoid scratching the nish.
The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
Warning - Make sure the power is off
before cleaning your fan.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture
polish to the wood for additional protec-
tion 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
sealed ball bearings. MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BE-
FORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.”
Fan will not start
Fan sounds noisy
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
1. Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
2. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is off. Check the line
wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the
motor hub are tight.
3. Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each
other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure the power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with
a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the tensioners or
screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb
is also secure.
6. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads
were used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
8. Make sure pull chains are not vibrating against glass or housing.

Herramientas
necesarias
Destornillador Phillips, destornillador plano,
llave ajustable, escalera de tijera y
cortacables.
Opciones de
montaje
Si no hay una caja eléctrica existente,
entonces lee las siguientes instrucciones.
Desconecta la energía retirando los
fusibles o apagando los cortacircuitos.
Asegura la caja eléctrica directamente a la
estructura del edicio. Usa sujetadores y
materiales de construcción apropiados. La
caja eléctrica y su soporte deben sostener
completamente el peso en movimiento
del ventilador (al menos 35 libras).
No uses cajas eléctricas de plástico.
Las guras 1, 2 y 3 son ejemplos de
diferentes formas de montar la caja
eléctrica.

Nota: Tal vez necesites un tubo bajante
más largo para mantener la altura
mínima adecuada de las aspas al instalar
el ventilador en un techo inclinado. El
ángulo máximo permitido es de 30º.
Si la cubierta toca el tubo bajante,
retira la cubierta inferior decorativa
y gira la cubierta 180º antes de
jar la cubierta a la placa de montaje.

Para colgar tu ventilador donde haya una
lámpara pero ninguna viga de techo, tal vez
necesites una barra colgante de instalación

DESCARGA ELÉCTRICA O LESIONES
PERSONALES, MONTA EL VENTILADOR
SÓLO SOBRE UNA CAJA ELÉCTRICA
MARCADA COMO “APROBADA COMO
SOPORTE DE VENTILADOR” Y USA LOS
TORNILLOS DE MONTAJE QUE VIENEN
CON LA MISMA. LAS CAJAS ELÉCTRICAS
UTILIZADASCOMÚNMENTE PARAELSOPORTE
DE ARTÍCULOS DE ILUMINACIÓN PUEDEN NO
SERVIR COMO SOPORTE DE VENTILADOR, Y
TAL VEZ DEBAN REEMPLAZARSE. EN CASO
DE DUDA, CONSULTA A UN ELECTRICISTA
CALIFICADO.

Montaje de techo
estándar
1. Retira la placa de montaje de la cubi-
erta aojando los cuatro tornillos de la
parte superior de la misma. Quita los
dos tornillos sin ranura y aoja los tornil-
los ranurados. Esto te permitirá retirar la
placa de montaje (Figura 5).
2. Inserta los cables que salen por la
parte superior del motor del ventilador
a través de la cubierta y luego a través
del ensamblado del tubo bajante y la
bola (Figura 6).
3. Aoja, sin quitarlos, los tornillos en el col-
larín ubicado en la parte superior de la
carcasa de motor.
4. Alinea los oricios en la parte inferior del
tubo bajante con los oricios en el col-
larín de la parte superior de la carcasa
de motor (Figura 7). Inserta con cuidado
el perno a través de los oricios del col-

NOTA: Este ventilador de techo viene con
dos tipos de ensamblados de soporte; la
instalación de techo estándar con tubo
bajante y bola, y casquillo de montaje; y
el montaje “cerca del techo”. El montaje
“cerca del techo” se recomienda en
habitaciones con techos de menos
de 8 pies de altura o en áreas donde
sedeseeespacioadicionaldesdeelpisohasta
las aspas de ventilador. Cuando uses una
instalación con un tubo bajante
estándar, la distancia desde el techo
a la parte inferior de las aspas será de
11 pulgadas aproximadamente.
La instalación “cerca del techo”
reduce la distancia desde el techo
a la parte inferior de las aspas a
7 pulgadas aproximadamente.
Una vez elegido el tipo de instalación,
sigue con las siguientes instrucciones.
Cuando sea necesario, cada sección de
las instrucciones indicará los diferentes
procedimientos a seguir para los dos tipos
de instalación.
