HINKLEY 48 Inch CHET Indoor, Outdoor LED Fan Instruction Manual

GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

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. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less 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.
4. 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.
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 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. CAUTION: Do not ingest battery – Chemical bum hazard. Keep new and used batteries away from children.
11. The remote control supplied with a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal bums in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
12. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
13. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this fan should only be used with fan speed control part no. MR161C manufactured by Chungear Industrial Co., Ltd.

Slide the reversing switch (located at the top of the motor housing, refer to figure 3 on opposite position, and turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.
   

2. Summer Mode (forward):
   A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 3. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

3. Winter Mode (Reverse):
   An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 4. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
   

CARE AND CLEANING

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

Fan Will Not Start

1. Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses.
2. 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.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency

Fan Sounds Noisy

1. Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight).
2. Check that the screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
4.  Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used.
5. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.

Fan Wobbles

1. Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to the motor.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
   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.

Remote Control Malfunction.

1. Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly
