Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

**** To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support of 15.9 Kg (35 lbs) or less” using the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be may replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 15.9 kg). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 23° away from horizontal.

If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above.

Assembly – Hanging the Fan

Attaching the mounting bracket to the electrical box

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less” and use the screws provided with the outlet box.

• Secure the mounting bracket (B) to the ceiling outlet box with the screws and washers provided with your outlet box.
  

Assembling the fan

CAUTION: To ensure wobble-free operation and to avoid damage to the fan, the downrod (E) and the set screw (GG) must be completely tightened.

• Loosen the set screws (GG) in the downrod coupler until the inside of the channel is clear of the screw tip.
• Remove and save the lock pin (FF) from the downrod (E).
• Slip the coupling cover (F), canopy (C) and decorative canopy bottom cover (J) onto the downrod (E). Carefully feed the fan wires and safety cable up through the downrod (E). Thread the downrod (E) into the fan motor assembly (G) coupling. Line up the holes and replace the lock pin (FF) and the hitch pin (EE). Tighten the set screws (GG).
  

Attaching the fan blades

WARNING:  Use of power tools for blade installation could damage the blades.

• Remove the face of the fan motor assembly (G). Discard any rubber blocks attached to these screws. The rubber blocks are installed at the factory to stabilize the motor during shipment.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.

• Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
• You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
• You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated, sealed ball bearings. the motor, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The
• Always unplug the fan before cleaning, disassembly or servicing.

Troubleshooting

• Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
• Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
• Check the battery in the remote control.
• Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-17 feet.

The fan is noisy.|

• Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
• Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
• Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
• Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
• If you are using the ceiling fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.
• Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
• Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

The fan wobbles.|

• Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
• 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 from a point on the center of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble, please contact customer service. A balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.

The fan moves backwards and forwards when turned on.|

• This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows the fan to operate more quietly than standard AC motor fans.
