7. Operating Your Transmitter
Installing the battery
Install 12V MN21/A23 battery (included), to prevent
damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used
for long periods.
Figure 12
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 14. 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 15.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower
setting without affecting your comfort.

9. 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 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 10.
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.
