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: Suitable for use with solidstate speed controls.
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".
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 making the electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart with
the ground wire and white (common) wire
to one side with the black (load) wire to the
other 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.
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.
7. Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned
off and blades stopped before reversing
blade direction.
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.

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.
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: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a
sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a
longer downrod to maintain proper clearance
between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A
minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for
optimal operation.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(for Canadian Installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help
prevent the ceiling fan from falling, please install
it as follows.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and
washers to the ceiling joist next to the mounting
bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 11)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to
reach the screw and washers by pulling the
extra cable through the cable clamp until the
overall length is correct, put the end of the cable
back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at
the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp
securely. Now, put the loop in the end of
the safety cable over the wood screw and under
the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely.

7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,
be sure you have turned off the power at the
main circuit panel.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to
your household wiring. Use the wire connecting
nuts suppled with your fan. Secure the
connectors with electrical tape. Make sure there
are no loose wire strands or connections.
Step 1. Connect the fan supply (black) wire and
light supply (blue) wire to the black household
supply wire as shown in Figure 12.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to
the neutral household (white) wire.
Step 3. Connect the fan ground wire (green) to
the household ground wire.
Step 4. After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so that the green and white wires are on
one side of the outlet box and the black and the
blue wires are on the other side.

11. INSTALLING THE SWITCH HOUSING
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. While holding the switch housing under your
ceiling fan, push the square wire connectors
together. One from the fan and one from the
switch housing.
NOTE: These connectors are color coded and
will ONLY engage when the colored strips are
matched (aligned).
2. Carefully push all the wires into the switch
housing.

12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn the power on and check the operation of
your ceiling fan.
The pull chain controls the 3 speeds of your
ceiling fan.
1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low
and the 4th pull turns the motor off.
The Black Slide Switch on the side of the
Fig. 17
switch housing controls the direction of the
blades "Forward and Reverse"
Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise)
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Fig. 17. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An
upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Fig. 18. This allows you to
set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING
Richland
TM
10
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Solution
1. Check that all fuses or circuit breakers are installed or in the ON position.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
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. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed
controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another
type of control.
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.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE
ARMS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT
FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
