MPORTANTSAFEGUARDS
:
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoro u g h l y
b e f o r e beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All
electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code.
If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified
and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make
the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor when fan is operating.
4. If possible, mount ceiling fan on a ceiling joist - the joist must be able to support the motion and weight of the
moving fan. If the fan will be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as “suitable for fan
s u p p o rt” is re q u i red. The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35lbs.). The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be
p e rf o r med by qualified personnel.
5. Blades should be attached a f t e r motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the cart o n
until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you
do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
10. The fan should be turned off and allowed to stop rotating before reversing fan direction.

Warnings:
• Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional
lighting. Support directly from building structure.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan
s u p p o rt” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support
of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if
in doubt.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, only use this fan with an appropriate speed control
device designed for use with ceiling fans, if you choose a wall control. DO NOT USE A SIMPLE INCANDESCENT
LIGHT DIMMER. Do not use this fan with any transformer type fan speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert any objects(s) between rotating fan blades.
NOTE: The important precautions, safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover
all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and
c a r efulness are factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)
installing, caring for, and operating the unit.

LADEATTACHMENT
BLADE ATTACHMENT:
Fig. 2
1. Place fiber washer on screw. Insert this assembly through the blade and start the screw into the blade arm. R e p e a t
this pro c e d u r e without tightening the screw until all 3 screws have been started into the blade arm (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Fans that have painted finishes may be packed with gaskets that can be used between the blade arm and blade
to help prevent a clicking noise that may develop if blade screws loosen over time.
2. Tighten each screw starting with center screw.
3 Fasten blade assembly to motor with provided screws and metal lockwashers (Fig. 2). Repeat procedure for
remaining blades. Make sure screws are TIGHT! Loose motor screws can contribute to unnecessary hum and
wobble during operation.
NOTE: Cordless power screwdrivers are
NOT recommended, as they tend to
strip the heads of the screws and usually
will not fully compress the spring
washers on the motor screws. Use a
l a r ge flat blade screwdriver for final
tightening to fully compress the spring
washers. This will help ensure proper
alignment of the blades and noise-fre e ,

1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch
housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the
screws securing blade brackets to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling
against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are
well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating
against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the
m o t o r . Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades
a r e fastened pro p e r l y. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if
m e a s u r ements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm bracket one at a time
and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother
o p e r a t i o n . Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades
when viewed edge on. NOTE: Wobbling can occur if the fan is hung in the direct path of an air duct.
Forward/Reverse Direction:
Forward is a counterclockwise rotation of the blades
when viewed from beneath the fan. This will create a
downward breeze that can be felt below the fan. This
is the normal direction for the fan to run when the
weather is warm.
Reverse (clockwise) will draw air up through the blades
and towards the ceiling, down the walls, and into the
living space during the cooler months.
WARM MONTHS
Forward (counterclockwise)
COOL MONTHS
Reverse (clockwise)
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or cause injury, be sure that fan is switched to off and blades have stopped moving
completely before attempting to change direction of rotation.
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free
cloth to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the
wood blades, and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.
NOTE: Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during
operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans with painted
or high gloss blades.
N O T E : When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pre s s u re should be applied to
the blades.
