Attaching the Fan
Blades
1. Insert the blade through the slot cut-off in
the center ywheel, align the three screw
holes in the blade with the screw holes in
the ywheel and secure with the screws
provided. (Figure 11)
2. Repeat for the remaining blades.
Figure 11
Figure 12
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 ceiling
above the tip of one of the blades. Measure
from a point on the center of each blade
to the point on the ceiling. Measure this
distance as shown in Figure 12. Rotate
the fan until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each blade.
Measurements deviation should be within
1/8”. Run the fan for 10 minutes.
Finishing the Fan
Installation
STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING
1. Align the locking slots of the ceiling
canopy with the two screws in the mounting
plate. Push up to engage the slots and turn
clockwise to lock in place. Immediately
tighten the two mounting screws rmly.
2. Install the remaining two mounting
screws into the holes in the canopy and
tighten rmly.
3. Install the decorative canopy ring by
aligning the ring’s slots with the screws
in the canopy. Rotate the ring counter-
clockwise to lock in place.
4. You may now proceed to attaching the
fan blades.
WHEN USING THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD
MOUNTING, THE TAB IN THE RING AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTING PLATE MUST
REST IN THE GROOVE OF THE HANGER BALL.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAT THE TAB IN THE
GROOVE COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRING.
3. Make sure that canopy is tightened securely
to ceiling mounting bracket and that the
ceiling mounting bracket is tightened
securely to the electrical box.
4. Interchanging two adjacent blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result
in the smoother operation.
5. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.

9. Operating Your Fan
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
The fan shipped from the factory with the
reversing switch positioned to circulate air
downward. If airow is desired in the opposite
direction, turn your fan off and wait for the
blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing
switch (located at the top of the motor housing,
refer to gure 7 on page 4) to opposite position,
and turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn
in the opposite direction and reverse airow. Figure 16
Figure 17
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air
ow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure
16. This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a higher setting without affecting your
comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward air ow
moves warm air off the ceiling are as shown in
Figure 17. This allows you to set your heating
unit on a lower setting without affecting your
comfort.

10. Care of Your Fan and Troubleshooting
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. Do not
use water when cleaning, this could damage
the motor, or the wood or possibly cause
an electrical 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 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
sealed ball bearings. MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.”
Fan will not start
Fan sounds noisy
1. Check main and branch 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
are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
5. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling.
6. Make sure your electrical box is secure and rubber isolator pads were
used between the mounting bracket and electrical box.
