Hanging the Fan

REMEMBER to turn off the power.

Follow the steps below to hang your fan
properly.

2. Remove the mounting plate from the
canopy by loosening the four screws on
the top of the canopy. Remove the two
non-slotted screws and loosen the slotted
screws. This will enable you to remove
the mounting plate (Figure 6).

NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with
two types of hanging assemblies; the
standard ceiling installation using the
downrod with ball and socket mounting,
and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The
"close-to-ceiling" mounting is
recommended in rooms with less than
8-foot ceilings or in areas where
additional space is desired from the floor
to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from
the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades
will be approximately 12 inches. The
"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of
the fan blade to approximately 7 inches.

Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
each section of the instructions will note
the different procedures to follow for the
two types of installation.

STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING

1. Remove the canopy ring from the
canopy by turning the ring to the right
until it unlocks (Figure 5).

3. Route the wires exiting the top of the
fan motor through the decorative motor
collar cover then the canopy ring. Make
sure the slot openings are on top. Route
the wires through the canopy and then
through the ball/downrod assembly
(Figure 7).

4. Loosen, but do not remove, the set
screws on the collar on the top of the
motor housing.

5. Align the holes at the bottom of the
downrod with holes in the collar on top of
the motor housing (Figure 7). Carefully
insert the hanger pin through the holes in
the collar and downrod. Be careful not to
jam the pin against the wiring inside the
downrod. Insert the locking pin through
the hole near the end of the hanger pin
until it snaps into its locked position.

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 13).

Note: This remote control unit is
equipped with 16 code combinations to
prevent possible interference from or to
other remote units.

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

1. Insert the receiver into the ceiling
mounting plate with the flat side of the
receiver facing the ceiling.

.

2. Connect both green wires from the
downrod and mounting plate to the bare
copper (Ground) from the electrical box.

3. Connect the black wire (AC IN L)
from the receiver unit to the black wire
from the electrical box.

4. Connect the white wire (AC IN N)
from the receiver unit to the white wire
from the electrical box.

5. Connect the white wire (To Motor
N) from the receiver unit to the white
wire from the fan assembly.

6. Connect the black wire (To Motor
L) from the receiver unit to the black
wire from the fan assembly.

7. 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.

WARNING
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.

Attaching the Fan
Blades

Note : The blade side which marked
with " This Side Up" must toward the
ceiling after it is installed.

1. Insert the blade through the slot cut­off in the center flywheel , align the
three screw holes in the blade with the
screw holes in the flywheel and secure
with screws provided (Figure 14).

2. Repeat for the remaining blades.

WARNING

All blades are grouped by weight.
Because plastic blades 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 15. 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.

7. With power off, carefully position the
circline lamp (Max. 30 watt, provided)
under the lamp retainer, make sure the 4­pins on the circline lamp are located at
the bottom, near the connector from the
ballast. Snap both sides of the lamp
retainer over the circline lamp, carefully
engage the connector from the ballast
with 4-pins on the circline lamp (Figure

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
small scratches with a light application
of shoe polish.

enhanced beauty. Cover

4. There is no need to oil your fan.
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."

12.Care of Your Fan

Problem Solution

Fan will not start.

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.

Fan sounds noisy.

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.
