Operating Your Transmitter 10.
Installing the battery
Remove the back cover on the transmitter and
install both, 3 volt (#2032) batteries that were
included with the remote control. Make sure the
+ sign is facing up.
Figure 20
The Reverse switch is located on the motor
housing. Slide the switch to the Left for warm
weather operation. Slide the switch to the Right
for cool weather operation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the
setting of the slide switch.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, etc.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air flow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 22.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a
higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in
Figure 23. This allows you to set your heating unit
on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

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 Fig. 24. 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.

Care of Your Fan 12.
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. 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"

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 lampshade 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.
