1 Warning: TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO

PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

2 High voltage and moving parts around motors and motor driven equipment can cause serious

or fatal injuries. Always disconnect power source at main switch before wiring, servicing or
cleaning unit. Do not rely on fan control device to prevent unexpected start-up or electrical
shock. In addition, power supply must have fuses or circuit breakers for short circuit
protection.

3 All electrical wiring must be performed by qualified persons in accordance and conform withal

applicable national and local electrical codes.

4 Fan should be secure in its electrical grounding to avoid possible electrical shock.

5 Fan should not be used in any wet or hazardous location In addition, its ambient temperature

should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

6 Power supply should conform to voltage rating of 220-240V~, 50/60Hz.

7 Before applying power, visually re-inspect the installation. Make sure that all guards and

protective devices are securely in place and all visible screws and bolts are tightened. All
set-screws must be retightened before installation.

8 Warning: to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount hanging bracket

to outlet box marked "Acceptable for fan support and a hanging weight of 45 Lbs (20.4 Kgs)."
Do not mount fan to sheet rock or drywall type materials and use only the screws provided
with the outlet box.

9 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
give supervision or instruction conceming use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

10 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,

contact the manufacturer.

B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

C. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified persons in accordance

with all applicable codes and standards including fire-related construction.

D. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other

hidden utilities.

READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY AND INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS.

Consult a licensed electrician if unsure of any point below mentioned.

DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION

3

Before touching a screw driver thoroughly
read these installation instructions.

Your new wall fan will require a grounded
electrical supply line of 220-240V~, 50/60Hz
circuit. The junction box must be securely
anchored and capable of withstanding a
load of at least 45 lbs (20.4 Kgs).

WARNING/CAUTION: Before installing new
wall junction box turn off power at service
panel.

1. Attach junction box securely to building
structure. Use provided hardware. Caution:
Tighten screws well. See Fig. 1.

2. Installing the hanger bracket to the
junction box with 2 screws provided.(Fig. 2)

3. Verify that the set screws in decorative
canopy are fully retracted. Not retracting
them will cause unsightly scratches in the
beautiful finish of the goose neck during
installation. Leave the protective plastic
sleeves in place on the goose net. (Fig. 3)

4. Thread the wires from the fan through the
barrel of the hanger bracket, and then pass
through the concave on the hanging bracket
for the wire connection:

MOUNTING/INSTALLATION
OF THE WALL CONTROL

1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch.
(Fig. 7)

2. Set knobs on the new, wall control in the
"0" position.

3. Make speed control wire connections (Fig.

8). Ensure that bare wires are fully inserted
into their terminals with no loose strands
and that terminal screws are fully tightened.

Hot/Live wire from fan blade motor to wall

speed control port labeled "Fan."

Hot/Live wire from oscillation motor to wall

speed control labeled "To Light," Note:
Perform this step if yours is a two/dual
circuit installation. If this is a single circuit
application, this step will be ignored and the
blade motor and oscillation motor will not be
operated independently.

4. Connect, if present, the wall speed control's
ground wire directly to one of the screws
from the outlet box. (Fig. 9)

5. Attach the wall control to the outlet (wall)
box and secure with 2 outlet box screws.
(Fig. 8)

CARE OF AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.

1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become loose over time.
Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they
are secure. It is not necessary to remove fan from the wall.

2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a
lightly water-moistened, lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes are sealed
with lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not let rain or running water to come in
contact with the fan. Rain or running water could damage the motor, wood blades or possibly
cause an electrical shock.

3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

4. Fan makes a vibration noise. Check to see that all screws are tight in the fan cage
connection to the motor face plate.

5. Fan actually vibrates. Uninstall and reinstall the blades. Make sure that your fan head's set
screw is counter-sunk into the bore hole in the flat part of the motor shaft. Be careful that the
blade brackets themselves are not bent in this process. Do not operate your fan if it continues
to vibrate. Contact your Atlas Fan Co purveyor if the re-installation of the blades does not
resolve the problem.

6. Fan Oscillation is irregular/not smooth. The decorative motor mount knobs are to swivel with
the oscillation of the fan. This movement is important. If your oscillation is irregular and not
smooth, it could be that your decorative knobs are too tight, touching the yoke and not
permitting the oscillation motor to operate properly. Loosen the knobs slightly so that the knob
is not touching the yoke assembly. As a rule of thumb, you should have a 1/32" clearance
between the knob and yoke assembly. Do not loosen the knob too much. Doing so will cause it
to fall of during operation of the fan.

Caution: Ensure the fan is switched off from the supply mains before removing the guard.

NOTE: AN ADDITIONAL ALL POLE DISCONNECTION SWITCH MUST BE INCLUDED IN

THE FIXED WIRING.

WARNING: All electrical connections and disconnections must be performed by a licensed
Electrician.

Step1.
Gingerly remove the motor back cap. Unscrew the x4 screws holding it to the frame while holding onto
the front motor cap and blade/cage assembly so that it does not fall forward. After the x4 screws are
removed, you may need to pull forward the front cap assembly a 1/4” to pull off the motor back cap. DO
NOT MOVE THE MOTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY SIDE TO SIDE, DOING SO WILL STRIP OSCILLATION
MOTOR GEARS. When the back motor cap is fully removed, replace one of the just-removed screws
back into the front motor cap and frame assembly temporarily to hold the front motor cap and blade/cage
in place while you grease your oscillation mechanism.

Matthews Fan CO Atlas brand oscillation fans are mechanical and
so, depending upon the amount of use your new fan receives and
the climate in which it is installed, it may need its oscillation
mechanism greased approximately every 6 months or as needed if
oscillation noise occurs.

Step2.
Use a lithium based grease on all moving parts and joints of the oscillation mechanism - the push arm
and cam of the oscillation motor.

Step3.
To replace the motor back cap, hold onto the front motor cap and blade/cage assembly. Remove the
temporary screw and align the screw holes between the front and back caps. Replace and tighten the x4
screws.
