1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the

National Electrical Code and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.

4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the two steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for mounting to 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.

11. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.

12. Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light kit that are not packed with the fan must be CUL

Listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be

CUL General Use Switches. Refer to the

Instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT

FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED

"ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT".

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL

INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE

BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS

FLANGES) DURING ASSEMBLY OR AFTER

INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT OBJECTS IN

THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only

15. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Solution

1. Check 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 to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

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

3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing 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 noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.

5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.

6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s)

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

Remote control malfunction.

1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s)

2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.

Lights shut off and will not come back on.

Fan wobble.

1. This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of

190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit you must turn the power off and re lamp, keeping the wattage under 190 watts.

Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobbling 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 this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT

BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES,

OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS

BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
