1. Safety Rules
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less. Use
only cUL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m) clearance from
the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
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.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be
spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the
other side of the outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before
installation.
Suitable for use with solid-state speed control.1.

Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weighed
equally.
The following procedure should correct most fan
wobbling problems. Check after each step.
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 as
shown in Figure 14. 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.

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".

Troubleshooting 12.
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. Turn the AC power off to fan, and re-do steps for programming on page 9.
2. Do not turn off fan from standard wall switch. Use only our wall switch or your remote to regulate fan.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
