WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,

DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS

WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE

BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT

INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN

ROTATING FAN BLADES.

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 Figure 12. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance should be equal within 1/8".

deviation

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.

Page 11

9. Installing the Light Kit

NOTE: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at fuse box.

Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock.

1. Remove the 1 of 3 screws from the mounting ring and keep it for future use. Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove)

2. Place the key holes on the switch housing

over the 2 screws previously loosened from the mounting ring, turn the switch housing until it locks in place at the narrow section of the key holes. Secure by tightening the 2 screws previously loosened and the one previously removed. (Figure 13)

3. Make the wire connections: Connect the 9-

pin plug from the fan to the 9-pin plug from the light kit assembly.

4. Carefully push all wires back into the switch

housing. Attach the light kit assembly to the mounting plate with 3 screws provided.

6. With the power off, insert the light bulbs

(included) into the light kit sockets. Max. 60 watts.

7. Restore power and your light kit is ready for

operation.

5. Mount the glass shades to the light fixture

by unscrewing partway the thumbscrews on the glass holders, inserting the glass, then gently tightening the thumbscrews by hand evenly to the glass. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

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 lintfree 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"

14. Troubleshooting

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Remote control malfunction:

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 glassware are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.

7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s)

1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s)

2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
