Read these instructions prior to installation.

Caution: Before installing fan, turn off power at service panel and check all

visible screws and bolts for tightness

1. Attach bracket (H) to junction box securely. Caution: Tighten screws well. Junction box should be suitable
for fan support and secured directly to building structure and be capable of withstanding a load of 15.9 kg
(35 Lbs).

2. String wires (M) and cable through Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D). Down Rod Light Canopy/support
pole (D) should be oriented with wide canopy end with four mounting holes to ceiling and two holes to fan end.

Attach Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D) to fan motor head (G2) at top center shaft (A). Shaft (A) is to enter

Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D). The two mounting holes in shaft (A) and the two mounting holes of Down
Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D) should be aligned. Secure Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D) to shaft (A)

with shorter (L1) bolt set with the lock washer positioned in between Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D) and

nut. When pushing bolt through Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D) and shaft (A) make sure wires (M) are not
damaged. Use set screw wrench to push the wires out of the way if necessary. Caution: Tighten nut and bolt set

very well.

3. Pull wires (M) taut through top of Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D).

4. Slide canopy (C1) down Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D). Canopy (C1) should be upside down with wide

permanent position.

10. Matthews Fan Co fans should be cleaned every six months to remove all grime and dust. Doing so will protect
its finish against premature oxidization. Caution: Before cleaning fan, shut off power at service panel. Then,
simply clean all metal parts with a clean, soft cloth and mild detergent mixed with water. When finished, dry all metal
with another absorbent, clean, soft cloth. Caution: Do not vigorously rub the metal, finish may scratch or suffer
rub marks.

REGULATION AND POSITIONING OF FAN HEAD / See Diagram I

Caution: Turn off power at the service panel before servicing fan

1) Regulate speed of fan at wall switch. The wall switch should be rated for an appliance of 2.0 Amps or greater and must be
variable. This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed control devices. We recommend the Lutron SFS5E slide or FS5E rotary

controls. Note: These Lutron controls have trim pots and may have to be adjusted to find the lower speed of the fan.

2) The fan head may be rotated in either direction 90 degrees. When positioning fan head do not allow the fan head to come in

contact with Down Rod Light Canopy/support pole (D).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Contact Matthews-Gerbar, Ltd. for any required assistance or if your fan problem does not appear below.

Caution: Turn off power at the service panel before servicing fan.

1. FAN VIBRATES: DO NOT OPERATE FAN IF IT VIBRATES. Doing so may cause damage to the fan. Vibration is caused by

one or more of the fan blade brackets becoming bent or out of alignment. Please call Matthews Fan Co for further instructions.

2. WALL SWITCH DOES NOT REGULATE FAN SPEED: Adjust trim pot dial on surface of wall switch body. Remove wall

switch's "switch plate" and look for trim pot dial on either front or side of switch body. Dial down speed to find lower speed on fan.

3. FAN MAKES GRINDING NOISE AS BLADES ROTATE: Un-attach and re-attach the blade assembly. Make sure that the set

screw in the blade hub is counter sunk into the bore hole in the motor shaft.
