other items, be cautious when working around or
cleaning the fan.
9. 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.
2. 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.
10. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
this fan should only be used with fan speed control part no.

4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
11. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are
not packed with the fan must be UL Listed and marked suit-
able for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches
must be UL General Use Switches. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of
50 pounds. Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR
FAN SUPPORT.”
12. All set screws must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT TO A REINFORCED OUTLET BOX CAPABLE OF RELI-
ABLY SUPPORTING 50 LBS MINIMUM (22.7 KGS) USING THE MOUNT-
ING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX. NOTE: MOST
OUTLET BOXES DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LIGHT FIXTURES ARE NOT
ACEPTABLE FOR SUPPORTING A FAN, AND MAY NEED TO BE RE-
PLACED. CONSULT A QUALIFIED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN FOR EX-
ACT SPECIFICATIONS.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE
BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS (“FLANGES”) DURING
ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN
THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.

Mounting Options
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when install-
ing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum
angle allowable is 30˚. If the canopy touches
downrod, remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover and turn the canopy 180˚ before
attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.
If there isn’t an existing outlet box, then read
the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning off
circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its
support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.)
Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

4. You may now proceed to attaching the
fan blades.
Figure 9
6.
Blade Balancing
Attaching the
Fan Blades
All blades are grouped by weight. Because nat-
ural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble
even though the blades are weight matched.
1. Attach blade to blade arm using decorative
screws and screws as shown in Figure 10.
Start a screw into decorative screws. Repeat
for the two remaining decorative screws and
screws.
The following procedure should correct most
fan wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade screws are secure.
2. Tighten each screw securely.
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 11. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat
for each blade. Measurement deviations
should be within 1/8”. Run the fan for 10
minutes.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remaining
blades.

tion, 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 figure 7 on page 5) to opposite position, and
turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the
opposite direction and reverse the airflow.

Troubleshooting
Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan.
Problem
Fan will not start
Solution
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
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. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
3. Check batteries in the transmitter. Does the red LED light come on? Are
you standing close enough to the fan? (Normal range is 10-20 feet.) Are
the dip switch settings the same on the transmitter (hand unit) and re-
ceiver? REMEMBER TO TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CHECKING THE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS IN RECEIVER.
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
finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer
to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
Warning - Make sure the power is off
before cleaning your fan.
Fan sounds noisy
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. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used
between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
3. You apply a light coat of furniture polish to
the wood for additional protection and en-
hanced 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 BE-
FORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.”
