HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the steps below to hang this fan properly.

STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING

1. Remove the mounting plate from the canopy by loosening the two 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 ceiling canopy and install the Hanger Bracket on the ceiling. (Figure 5).

2. Route the wires exiting the top of the fan motor through the decorative motor coupling collar cover then the

canopy ring. Make sure the slot openings are on top. Route the wires through the canopy cover and then through the ball/downrod assembly (Figure 6).

3. Loosen, but do not remove, the set screw on the collar on the top of the motor housing.

4. Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod with holes in the collar on top of the motor housing (Figure 6).

Carefully insert the hanger pin (bolt) through the holes in the collar and downrod. Be careful not to jam the pin against the wiring inside the downrod. Insert the Split Pin through the hole near the end of the hanger pin (bolt) until it snaps into its locked position, see below in Figure 6.

5. Re-tighten the set screw at the top of the fan motor ﬁrmly (Figure 6).

INSTALLING WALL CONTROL (ROTARY) SWITCH

1. With electrical power still disconnected, install fan switch control wiring to desired location on wall. Wall plates are not supplied so that the customer can choose a style suitable for their speciﬁc situation (wall

plates should be supplied by the installer).

2. Ensure wiring connections are as shown in Fig 9. The Active (Red) supply wire must be connected to terminal “C” on the rotary switch mechanism. Return switched wire to ceiling fan to be connected from terminal ˝1˝ on the switch mechanism to ˝L˝ terminal on the connector block.

3. Fit the switch mechanism into a face plate (not supplied) and attach to wall. Then snap on the Switch knob to the spindle of the switch mechanism protruding out from plate. Switch knob ‘0’ marking should be in the 12 o’clock position.

4. Restore electrical power to the ceiling fan by turning the electricity on at the main fuse box.

5. Check the operation of the fan by rotating the control through the four positions marked 0 – III (“0” position is OFF) (Figure 12).

4. Light Option or Chrome Base

Your fan comes packaged with a frosted glass shade AND a polished chrome base allowing you the option of installing your fan with OR without a light. Once you have decided which option you will use, proceed with the corresponding instructions.

REMEMBER to disconnect the power.

FAN WITH LIGHT

1. Avoid touching the glass part of the halogen light bulbs. The oil from your hands can shorten the life of the

bulb. Using a cloth or other material to hold each bulb, gently insert the two bulbs into the sockets (G9 Max 25W each).

2. To ﬁt the Glass shade, align the tabs in the glass with the ﬁtter plate and twist in a clockwise direction.

(Figure 13).

3. The installing electrician usually installs a wall switch for this light with the switched active wire going to

Terminal L1 on the fan terminal block.

FAN WITHOUT LIGHT

To ﬁt the chrome base – align the tab in the plate and twist in a clockwise direction (Figure 13).

6. Care for your Fan

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.

1. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. 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 or chemicals when cleaning. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the ﬁnish. The polished chrome ﬁnish is sealed with a lacquer to minimise discolouration or tarnishing. The use of water or chemicals for cleaning this fan may damage the motor, blades or other components, and possibly cause an electrical shock.

3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Problem Solution

Fan will not start. 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

2. Check line wire connections through any isolation switch that may be installed on the wall.

Fan sounds noisy. 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are tight.

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

3. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.

4. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the glassware and the light bulbs are also secure.

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

6. Make sure your ceiling bracket is secure and the rubber isolator pads are in place between the hanger bracket and ceiling.

Fan wobbling. All fans wobble to some degree but if excessive make sure the ball joint is properly

seated in the hanger bracket and the fastening hanger ball screw is tight. Next check for unbalanced blades by re-attaching blades to a different position on the fan motor.

7. Troubleshooting

Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan with the Wall control. The fan is best started from the high speed position (I) and then if necessary adjusted down to lower speeds (II) medium (III) low. To turn off, return knob to (0) position.

5. Operating Your Fan

WARNING. For your own safety, turn off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before trouble shooting your fan. Some suggested remedies require the attention of a licensed electrician.
