1. SAFETY RULES

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before beginning.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local
electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.

3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with any
solid-state fan speed control device.

4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury, mount to
outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan

Support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs.) Or Less"

and use mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for the support of light
fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Due to the
complexity of the installation of this fan, a
qualified licensed electrician is strongly
recommended.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO

OUTLET BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN

SUPPORT".

5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".

8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.

9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.

10. 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.

11. After marking 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.

12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.

NOTE: SUITABLE FOR USE WITH SOLID­STATE SPEED CONTROLS.

WARNING

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.

7. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL ( CUL for Canadian
Installation) listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by
removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Fig. 1

Outlet box

Fig. 2

Outlet box

Provide strong
support

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.

Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)

To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Fig 4.

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly:

Step 1. Remove the fan motor and housing
assembly from the protective plastic bag.
Place the fan assembly into the lower pad
with the bottom of the motor facing up.(The
lower foam pad serves as a holder for the
fan during the first stages of assembly).
Remove the plastic motor shipping blocks
and discard. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. Secure the hanger bracket to the
ceiling outlet box using screws and washers
provided. (Fig. 6)

Step 3. Remove hanger ball from downrod
assembly by loosening set screws, removing
the cross pin, and sliding ball off the rod. (Fig. 7)

Step 4. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and lock pin from the top
coupling of the motor assembly. (Fig. 8)

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse box before wiring.

NOTE: The CoolTouch

TM

Control System is
equipped with 16 code combinations to
prevent possible interference from or to other
remote units. The frequency switches on your
receiver and transmitter have been preset at
the factory. Please recheck to make sure the
switches on the transmitter and receiver are
set to the same position, any combination of
settings will operate the fan as long as the
transmitter and receiver are set to the same
position. (Fig. 12)

Step 1. Insert the receiver into the mounting
bracket, and keep flat in opposition of ceiling.

Step 4. If your outlet box has a ground wire
(green or bare copper) connect it to the fan
ground wires; otherwise connect the hanging
bracket ground wire to the mounting bracket.
Secure the wire connection with a plastic nut
provided. After connecting the wires, spread
them apart so that the green and white wires
are on one side of the outlet box and black
and blue wires are on the other side.
Carefully tuck the wire connections up into
the outlet box. (Fig. 14)

17. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

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.

4. Check to make sure the batteries are installed porperly. ( postive +side
facing out)
5 . Check to make sure the batteries are not dead.

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.

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

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

Fan wobble.

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

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.

Remote control
malfunction.

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

2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
