Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes and standards (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999), including fire-rated construction.

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.

After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box. The splices, after being made, should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.

Before you begin installing the fan, servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Be cautious! read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.

WaRnInG : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support.

(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)

WaRnInG : To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotating blades.

Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box.

WaRnInG : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control.

If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.

HOOTING

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble

Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our

Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.

Warning: Before servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

1. If fan does not start:

2. If fan sounds noisy:

3. If fan wobbles:

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.

3.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

cauTIon: Make sure main power is turned off.

1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).

2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.

3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.

cauTIon: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. do noT uSe a Solid State variable speed control.

5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.

1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball.

2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.

3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.

4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

5.Most fan wobble 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 from blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of blade.

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

4. If light does not work: 1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.

2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.

3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.

4.Check for faulty light bulbs.

WaRnInG: over lamping the fan will result in the fan lights shutting down until the proper wattage of bulbs are installed.

Reset the lights by turning off the wall switch, breaker,or by remote. Replace bulbs with the correct wattage bulbs, turn the power on.

cauTIon: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
