AFEGUARDS:

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.

box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan's listed weight. The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by qualified personnel.

5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure

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. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. The fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing the blades direction.

Weight of Fan: 6.5 Kgs

NSTALLATION:

This fan has two installation options:

#1 HUGGER MOUNTING

The HUGGER method is preferred if maximum headroom is required. The ceiling must be horizontal, not sloped.

Blades will be approximately 8' from the ceiling. Air flow will be reduced when the fan is installed using the

HUGGER method.

#2 DOWNROD MOUNTING

This is the recommended mounting for ceilings 8' and higher.

The DOWNROD MOUNTING method is preferred if the ceiling is sloped or vaulted, or if the ceiling is extra high and requires the use of an extension downrod. Blades will be approximately 12' from ceiling using supplied downrod.

NOTE: The S hook is to be used for hugger style mounting.

1. Remove the plastic trim ring from the canopy to expose the 6 mounting holes. The downrod, ball and cotter pin will not be used for this mounting (Fig. 1).

2. Feed fan wires through the canopy and position the canopy over the mounting collar on top of the fan. The collar's 2 security screws will not be used and can be turned all the way into the collar to make attaching the canopy easier.

3. Align the canopy on top of the fan so the 3 large holes are over the 3 screws holding the collar to the fan. The 3 small holes will then be aligned with the 3 open holes in the top of the fan.

4. Securely attach the canopy to the top of the fan using the 3 hugger mounting screws provided.

WARNING: To avoid damaging the blade arms and blades, do not install them onto fan until fan is fastened to ceiling.

5. Place the S hook onto the hanger bracket. Hang the canopy (with the fan motor housing attached) from the S hook on the hanger bracket using one of the holes in the edge of the canopy (Fig. 2). This will permit you to make the electrical connections without having to hold the fan up as well.

6. Make the wire connections as described in "Electrical Connections" (page 9).

7. Insert 2 screws into the hanger bracket, leaving them partially out (Fig. 3).

8. Attach the canopy to the hanger bracket by inserting the slotted openings of the canopy on the hanger bracket screws

(Fig. 4), and turn the fan to the right to engage the screws in the slots.

9. Insert the 2 remaining screws through the remaining canopy holes and tighten all 4 screws.

3. Feed the wires from top of fan through the coupling cover end of downrod 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.

PERATION

Turn on the power and check operation of the fan. The fan is controlled by the use of the pull chain as follows:

one pull = high speed

two pulls = medium speed

three pulls = low speed

four pulls = off

For proper functions, ensure that the chain is pulled down fully and released each time.

The slide switch on the side of the switch housing controls forward or reverse rotation. Make sure switch is not stuck between forward and reverse positions.

completely before attempting to change direction of rotation.

Forward/Reverse Direction:

Warm Weather (forward):

A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 1. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool Weather (Reverse):

An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 2. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

LEANING

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.

When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades.

If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

D

IFFICULTY

1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan 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 arms 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 secure to the motor. Check to make sure that 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 blade arm 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. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket.

Make sure these are tight and the ball is completely seated in the bracket.
