All blades are grouped by weight.
Because natural woods v ary in density,
the fan may wobble even though the
blades are weight matched.

Repeat for each blade. Measurements
deviation should be within 1/8". Run the
fan for 10 minutes.

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing
Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

2. Tighten each screw securely.

3. Insert the blade / blade bracket
assembly through the hole in the side of
the center flywheel, align the 2 screw
holes in the blade bracket with the screw
holes in the center flywheel and secure
with screws and lockwashers supplied
(Figure 11).

The following procedure should correct
most fan wobble. Check after each step.

1. Check that all blade and blade
bracket screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobble 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 from a point on the
center of each blade to the point on the
ceiling. Measure this distance as shown
in Figure 12. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE
INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT
FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING
FAN BLADES.

The hand unit controls directions
(forward or reverse).

Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.

Warm weather- (Forward) A downward
air flow creates a cooling effect as shown
in Figure 14. This allows you to set your
air conditioner on a higher setting
without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather- (Reverse) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Figure 15. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a lower
setting without affecting your comfort.

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. Do not use water when cleaning.
Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish. The plating is
sealed with a lacquer to minimize
discoloration or tarnishing. 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 for
additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.

4. Thereisnoneedtooilyourfan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
sealed ball bearings.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE
SECTION, "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS."

11.Care of Your Fan

Problem Solution

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

2. Check line wire connections to the fan a nd switch wire connections in the switch housing.

CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

3. Check battery in the transmitter. Does the red LED light come on? Are you standing close enough

to the fan (normal range is 10-20 feet)? Are the dip switch settings the same on the transmitter
(hand unit) and receiver? REMEMBER TO TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY BEFORE

CHECKING THE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS IN RECEIVER.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.

3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling 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 noises associated with a new fan disappear during this
time.

5. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that
the light bulb is also secure.

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

7. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the hanger bracket
and ceiling box.
