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 personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced,
consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

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".

6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.

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.

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.

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

position, any combination of settings will
operate the fan as long as the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same position. (Fig. 13)

Step 1. (Fig. 14) Insert the receiver into the
mounting bracket with the flat side of the
receiver facing the ceiling.

Step 2. (Fig. 15) Motor to receiver electrical
connections: Connect the black wire from the
fan to black wire marked "TO MOTOR L".
Connect the white wire from the fan to the
white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the
receiver. Connect the blue wire from the fan to
the blue wire marked "For bottom Light" from
the receiver. Connect the orange wire from fan
to the orange wire from receiver marked "For
Upper Light". Secure wire connections with the
plastic wire nuts provided.

17. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Fan wobble.

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 properly, (Positive + 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.

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.
