Product Usage Instructions

Before installing the fan, switch off the power at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent powerfrom being switched on accidentally. If it cannot be locked,  securely fasten a warning device like a tag to the service panel. Use an AC 120V/60HZ power supply only. Make sure the outlet box is  properly installed to the house structure before installing the fan. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal  injury, mount the fan to an outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support. The mounting must support at least 35 lbs.

Use a metal outlet box suitable for fan support and only use the screws provided with the outlet box (must support 35 lbs). Ensure that the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member before attaching the fan (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble).

To install the fan using a downrod mount:

1. Install the mounting bracket onto the outlet box.
2. Partially loosen the two screws on the outlet box, attach the mounting bracket onto the outlet box by sliding it over the two screws as shown in the illustration. Have the mounting bracket in position and tighten the set screws.
3. Partially loosen downrod set screws from yoke at the top of motor assembly. Remove preassembled cross pin and keeper pin from downrod.
4. Place downrod over canopy and canopy bottom ring. Thread lead wires and safety cable from motor assembly through downrod.
5. Slip downrod into motor housing yoke, aligning holes and install cross pin and keeper pin. Insert cross pin through yoke and downrod until point appears on the other side, and insert keeper pin on cross pin. Pull the downrod up tight against the cross pin, and then evenly tighten the downrod set screws on motor housing yoke. Cross pin and keeper pin must be installed securely, failure to install them will result in serious injury.

For Canadian installation and for USA fan and light kit combinations over 35 lbs, in both flush and downrod modes, the safety cable must be installed into the house structure beams using 3 lag screws, washers, and lock washers provided. Make sure that when the safety cable is fully extended, the lead wires are longer than the cable and no stress is placed on the lead wires.
Note: If Installing The Secondary Support Safety Cable in the U.S., Do Not Remove.

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 this Troubleshooting 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.
Before you begin installing, servicing or cleaning the fan unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service panel
cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the
service panel.

Trouble: Suggested Remedy

1. If fan does not start:

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

3. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
   CAUTION Make sure main power is turned off. either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

4. If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed firmly

5. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.

6. If fan sounds noisy:

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

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

9. 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.

10. Check to be sure lightbulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.

11. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.

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

13. If fan wobbles:

14. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball.

15. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to  ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

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

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

18. 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 ceiling. 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.

19. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
    If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically balance your fan with balancing kit provided

20. If light does not work:

21. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.

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

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

24. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.

25. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.

26. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.
    CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or canopy
