GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly
before 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 “
support” is required. 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
performed by qualified personnel.
suitable for fan
5. Blades should be attached after
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 tur
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’

2. Remove ball from downrod by loosening set screw in the side of the ball. Slide ball down and remove ball pin;
remove ball.
3. Feed the wires from top of fan through end of downrod you have chosen and set end of downrod into mounting
collar so the hole in the downrod lines up with the hole in the side of the mounting collar.
4. Insert downrod pin through holes in mounting collar and downrod; slip cotter pin through small hole in end of
downrod pin to hold downrod in place.
5. Tighten jam screws against downrod using a large flat blade screwdriver to ensure a tight fit against downrod.
Tighten nuts against mounting collar.
NOTE: Fan has 6 feet of hook-up wire in case
you are using a long extension downrod. Wires
can be cut so only 8 inches or so extend beyond
the top of the downrod to make the electrical
connections easier and safer.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Multiple code choices are included with your fan’s remote control in case:
• you have more than one remote control fan and want them to respond only to their own remote control
• you have other radio controlled devices in your home that may interfere with the fan remote control (i.e. garage
door opener)
• you experience radio interference on a chosen frequency (code setting)
SET-UP AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting the code:
This unit has 16 different code combinations. To set the code, perform these steps:
1. Setting the code on the TRANSMITTER [Fig. 1]:
a. Remove battery cover.
Slide code switches to your choice of ON or OFF position. Use a small scr

Blade
Screw
Fiber
Washer
BLADE ATTACHMENT:
1. Place fiber washer on screw. Insert this assembly through the blade and start the screw into the blade arm. Repeat
this procedure without tightening the screw until all 2 screws have been started into the blade arm.
2. Tighten each screw.
3 Fasten blade assembly to motor with provided screws and metal lockwashers. Repeat procedure for remaining
blades. Make sure screws are TIGHT! Loose motor screws can contribute to unnecessary hum 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 lock washers on the motor screws. Use a large flat blade screwdriver for final tightening to fully compress the washers. This will help ensure proper alignment of the blades and noise-free, wobble-free running.
NOTE: Design of parts shown above may look slightly different for your specific model of fan.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
1. Install 2 candelabra base bulbs (E12, 40 watt maximum) into sockets on light kit fitter. Be careful wires do not lay against
bulbs.
2. Lift bottom glass up to fitter so that fitter’s threaded rod passes through hole in bottom glass. Place cap and finial
over end of threaded rod and screw finial securely by hand to hold glass in place.
CONGRATULATIONS! Your fan is now ready to enjoy!

OPERATION
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)
TROUBLESHOOTING - IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
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.
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.
If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the
3.
motor. Make sure that the light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust blade(s)
so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
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.
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor 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.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no pressure should be applied to the blades.
