Installing Fan to the Electrical Box
WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN ON A SLOPED CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. THE MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE MOUNTED SO THAT THE SLOT OPENINGS ARE ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE MOUNTING PLATE FROM THE TOP DOWN
1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the ceiling mounting plate as shown in Figure 8.
2. Install the ceiling mounting plate on the electrical box by sliding the mounting screws provided with the outlet box (Figure 8). If necessary, use leveling washers (not included) between the mounting plate and the electrical box. Note that the flat side of the mounting plate is toward the electrical box (Figure 8).
Figure 8
CAUTION
3. Securely tighten the two mounting screws.
4. Carefully lift the fan assembly up to the ceiling mounting plate. Make sure the tab on the mounting plate is properly seated in the groove in the hanger ball.
Making the Electrical Connections
REMEMBER to disconnect the power. If
you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the wire connecting nuts supplied with your fan and supplied with remote control. Secure the connectors with electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or connections (Figure 9).
l. Connect both green wires from the downrod and mounting plate to the bare copper (Ground) from the electrical box.
2. Connect the black wire (AC IN L) from the receiver unit to the black wire from the electrical box.
3. Connect the white wire (AC IN N) from the receiver unit to the white wire from the electrical box.
4. Connect the white wire (To Motor N)
Page 9
from the receiver unit to the white wire from the fan assembly.
5. Connect the black wire (To Motor L) from the receiver unit to the black wire from the fan assembly.
6. Connect the blue wire (For Light) from the receiver unit to the blue wire from the fan.
After wires are connected, carefully tuck them into the electrical box. Insert the receiver unit into the mounting plate; make sure the black antenna wire sits on top of the receiver unit.
THE FREQUENCIES ON YOUR RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER HAVE BEEN PRESET AT THE FACTORY, BEFORE INSTALLING THE RECEIVER, MAKE SURE THE DIP SWITCHES ON THE RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER ARE SET TO THE SAME FREQUENCY. THE DIP SWITCHES ON THE TRANSMITTER ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT.
EACH WIRE NUT (WIRE CONNECTOR) SUPPLIED WITH THIS FAN IS DESIGNED TO ACCEPT UP TO ONE 12 GAUGE HOUSE WIRE AND TWO WIRES FROM THE FAN. IF YOU HAVE LARGER THAN 12 GAUGE HOUSE WIRING OR MORE THAN ONE HOUSE WIRE TO CONNECT TO THE FAN WIRING, CONSULT AN ELECTRICIAN FOR THE PROPER SIZE WIRE NUTS TO USE.

Finishing the Fan Installation
STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING
WHEN USING THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD MOUNTING, THE TAB IN THE RING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTING PLATE MUST REST IN THE GROOVE OF THE HANGER BALL. FAILURE TO PROPERLY SEAT THE TAB IN THE GROOVE COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRING.
WARNING
1. Align the locking slots of the ceiling canopy with the two screws in the mounting plate. Push up to engage the slots and turn clockwise to lock in place. Immediately tighten the two mounting screws firmly.
2. Install the remaining two mounting screws into the holes in the canopy and tighten firmly.
3. Install the decorative canopy ring by aligning the ring' s slots with the screws in the canopy. Rotate the ring clockwise to lock in place.

Blades
NOTE: Your fan blades are reversible,
select the blade side finish which best accentuates your decor.
1. Attach the blade accent to the blade tip by using the screws supplied (Figure
10).
2. Attach blade to blade bracket, using the washer head screws supplied (Figure
10). Please note that the rubber washers are pre-attached to the blade bracket. Start a screw into the bracket. Repeat for the two remaining screws.
3.
Tighten each screw securely.
4. Insert the blade assembly through the slot cut-out in the center flywheel, align the two screw holes in the blade bracket with the screw holes in the flywheel and secure with screws and lockwashers provided (Figure 11).
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 & 4 for the
All blades are grouped by weight. Because natural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble even though the blades are weight matched.
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. 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.
Touching ceiling
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.

3. Secure the light kit assembly to the black bracket using the three screws and lockwashers that were removed in step 1.
4. Remove the three mounting screws on the side of the light kit assembly (Figure
14)
5. With power off, install the circline lamp (Max. 30W, provided) to the lamp bracket pre-assembled in the light kit assembly and engage the connector from the ballast of the light kit assembly with the 4-pins on the circline lamp ,
make sure they are engaged properly (Figure 14).
6. Install the glass bowl to the light kit assembly and finger tighten with three mounting screws that were removed in step 4.

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 15. 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 16. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

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

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 and 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.
