• All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
• Before changing the fan direction, turn off the fan and wait for the fan blades to stop completely.
• The safeguards provided by these safety instructions and by the separate installation instructions are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, caring for and operating the fan.

WARNING

• TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE SURE TO SHUT OFF POWER AT THE MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS FIXTURE. TURNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BY USING THE LIGHT SWITCH IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, INSTALL THE FAN SO THAT THE BLADES ARE AT LEAST 7 FEET (2.1 METERS) ABOVE THE FLOOR AND AT LEAST 18 INCHES (0.5 METERS) FROM THE TIP OF THE BLADES TO THE WALL.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT TO OUTLET BOX MARKED “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX.
• THE INSTALLATION HAS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 AND LOCAL CODES. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SEEK THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

IMPORTANT :

• Before you begin installing or using the fan, carefully read the entire manual. If unsure about any part of the installation, contact a qualified electrician.
• Save all instructions.

NOTE :  The fan weight is Net Weight: 22.7 lb (10.29 kg). Be sure the outlet box (not included) is securely attached to the building structure and is marked “Acceptable For Fan Support”. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn OFF the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.

2. Loosen all four mounting brackets screws, then completely remove the two mounting bracket screws from the round holes of canopy. Set screws aside for later use.
   Warning : To reduce the risk of fire electric shock,or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan support” and use the mounting screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

3. Remove the motor screws, flat washers and motor blocks from the underside of the motor assembly. Discard the motor blocks and flat washers but keep the motor screws for later.
   If you wish to use the Down rod Mount (shown on page 3), proceed to Step 5.

4. CLOSEMOUNT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
   

   • Remove the canopy cover from the bottom of the canopy.
   • Remove the three Phillips-head close mount screws from the top of the motor assembly.
   • Align the holes in the bottom of the canopy with the screw holes in the top of the motor housing. The larger holes in the canopy will encompass 3 pre-installed screws. Secure the canopy to the top of the motor assembly by reinstalling the three Phillips-head close mount screws.
   • Hang the fan on the hook of the mounting bracket to leave hands free during the wiring process.

5. DOWNROD MOUNT
   Remove the down rod clip and down rod pin from the down rod. Then, loosen but do not remove the two set screws in the yoke of the motor assembly.

6. Feed the wires coming from the yoke through the yoke cover, canopy and downrod.

7. Insert the downrod into the yoke in the top of the motor assembly and reinstall the downrod pin and downrod clip. Then retighten the two set screws. With wiring extending out of the top of the downrod, measure 8 inches of lead wire and cut the excess wire with wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of each wire.

8. Lift the downrod into the mounting bracket. Rotate the down rod until the tab in the mounting bracket is seated in the slot in the down rod ball.
   WARNING : The fan and/or down rod should not rotate in the mounting bracket if installed correctly. Failure to align the slot in the down rod ball with the tab may result in fan falling causing serious injury or death.

9. Use wire connectors to connect the fan wires to the power supply wires according to the wiring diagram and the following instructions:

   • Connect the white wire from the fan to the white (neutral/common) supply wire.
   • Connect the black and blue wires from the fan to the black (hot/power) supply wire.
   • Connect the green wire from the fan to the bare/green (ground) supply wire.
     Note : If a second hot/power wire is available from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate fan and light switches.
     Important: After the connections have been made, the wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Place the black and white wire connections on opposite sides of the outlet box.

10. Raise the canopy, ensuring the two mounting bracket screws are aligned with the J-shaped slots in the canopy. Then turn the canopy clockwise until the mounting bracket screws are completely engaged in the J-shaped slots. Install the two previously removed mounting bracket screws in the round holes. Securely tighten all four mounting bracket screws.

11. Attach the blades to blade arms using the blade screws, spring washers, and blade washers from the hardware kit.

12. Secure the blade arm to the underneath side of the motor using motor screws removed in Step 3. Completely secure each blade arm to motor before moving to the next.
    To install the fan without the light kit, skip to step 17.

13. Remove the three fitter plate screws from the fitter plate. Connect the 9-pin connectors from the fan to the 9-pin connectors from the light kit. Then, use the fitter plate screws to secure the light kit to the fitter plate.

14. Install the E26-base LED bulbs into the sockets of the light kit. Then, remove the finial, finial cap, hex nut and rubber washer from the threaded rod at the bottom of the light kit.
    Replacement bulbs: Use E26-base LED, CFL, or incandescent (60 watt max.) bulbs.

15. Feed the pull chain through the center hole in the glass bowl and rubber washer. Then, lift the the glass bowl and rubber washer over the threaded rod and secure the glass using the hex nut. Feed the pull chain through the finial cap finial. Lift the finial cap up to the glass and secure it with the finial.

16. Insert the pull chain coming from the switch housing down through the chain guide.
    Skip to Step 19.

17. NO LIGHT KIT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
    To install the fan without the light kit, remove the preassembled hex nut and lock washer from the threaded rod inside the switch housing. Disconnect the single-pin connectors inside the switch housing. Then, remove the light kit from the switch housing
    Insert the plug button into the center hole of the switch housing.

18. NO LIGHT KIT INSTALLATION (CONT’D)

    • Remove the three switch housing screws from the fitter plate. Then, install the switch housing to the fitter plate with the three switch housing screws.

19. Attach pull chain extension(s) to the pull chain(s).

20. Restore the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The fan pull chain extends from the switch housing. It has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF. The light pull chain is located in the center of the finial. It turns the light ON and OFF.
2. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
   Note : Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch.

In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right, which will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
IMPORTANT : The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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 the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-706-3267, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Central time.
PROBLEM
Fan does not start

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

2. Check power supply wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
   CAUTION : Make sure main power is turned off.

3. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely left or right. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

4. Make sure that the wall control is turned ON.

Fan is noisy

1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug, but not over tightened.

2. Make sure the screws which attach the blade arm to the motor are tight.

3. Make sure wire 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.

Fan wobbles

1. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
2. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
3. Ensure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using a balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

Light does not work:

1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot (black) power supply wire or to a separate power supply wire from outlet box.
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.
   CAUTION : Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

Weak airflow:

1. Make sure the reverse switch is in the left position.
