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 12. 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.

9. Installing the Light Kit
CAUTION: Before starting installation,
disconnect the power by turning off the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse at fuse box. Turning
power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to
prevent electric shock.
Step 1. Remove the 1 of 3 screws from the posts
of the mounting ring and keep it for future use.
Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove) (Fig.
13)
Step 2. While holding the LED light kit under
your fan, make the polarized plug connections:
- Blue to white
- Black to black
Step 3. Place the key holes in the LED light kit
over the two screws previously loosened from the
mounting ring. Turn the LED light kit until the
LED light kit locks in place at the narrow section
of the key holes. (Fig. 13)
Step 4. Securely tighten the two light kit
mounting screws previously loosened and the one
previously removed. (Fig. 13)
Step 5. Raise glass shade up against the LED
light kit, and secure it to fan by turning glass
clockwise until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Operating Your Transmitter 10.
Remote Control Button Definitions:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as
follows:
I = minimum speed
II = low speed
III = medium low speed
IV = medium speed
V = medium high speed
VI = high speed
button: Turns the fan off.
button: Controls fan direction.
button: Controls light. Switch the “D” and “ON” dip
switch on the back of transmitter to decide the light in
“ON/OFF” or “Dimmable” condition.
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with an
automatically learned type remote control. There are
no frequency switches on the receiver; the receiver
unit will automatically scan the frequency from the
remote control if any changes are made. The
frequency settings on the transmitter should be
changed ONLY in case of interference or if a
second or more ceiling fans with the same type of
control system are installed in the same structure.
Setting the Remote Control
Follow the below steps to set the remote control:
The auto learning function will only mandate within
60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.
a) Select desired frequency from the transmitter.
The
dip switches can be set to 16 different combinations.
(Fig. 16)
b) From the back of the transmitter, with the
fan’s power off, restore power to the fan. Press
and hold “SET” button for about 5 seconds and
release. If optional light kit is installed, the
light kit will flash twice and the signal light on
the hand held transmitter will come on when
the button is pressed. The fan has completed
the pairing process with the remote control and
is ready for use. (Fig. 16)
NOTE: If the self calibration test failed, turn the AC
power off; restore power and process the self
calibration test again.
NOTE: During self calibration test, the remote is
non-fuctional.
NOTE: The learning frequency function and self
calibration test will continue to retain the last set
frequency and calibration set even when the AC
power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self
calibration test will occur again.
“D” and “ON” dip switch:
1. The “ON” selection is the light dimmable selection
and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs.
The “D” selection is the light ON only (no dimming
function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL
bulbs in most cases cannot be used with dimming
controllers.

This receiver provides the following protective
function:
1. Lock Rotor Position: The DC motor has a built-in
safety against a stalled or locked rotor condition (stalled
blade rotation). If there is an obstruction or fault with
the motor, the current monitoring function will
automatically turn power off to the motor after 30
seconds. Remove the obstruction and turn the AC
power off. Restore power and re-start fan motor.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects
motor power consumption which is greater than 80W,
the receiver power will be stopped and operation will
immediately discontinue. Wait for 5 seconds and then
turn the receiver power back on.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on
factors such as the room size. Ceiling height, number
of fans and so on.
NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is running.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 17. 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. 18. This
allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

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"
Care of Your Fan 12.

13. Troubleshooting
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.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.
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. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
