SAFETY TIPS

1. To avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing acces­sories.

2. Read all instructions and safety information carefully before installing your fan and save these instructions.

3. Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes or ordinances and the National Electrical Code .If you are unfamiliar with electric wiring.please use a qualified and licensed electrician.

4. Make sure you. have a location selected for your fan that allow clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted at least thirty (30) inches from walls or other upright structures.

5. WARNING: The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 50 pounds. To reduce the risk of fire .electric shock or personal injury,moi.mt to the outlet box marked acceptable for fan supported and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. The box must be supported directly by the building structure.
   WARNING: 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 most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

6.  Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be U. L. listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing Switches must be U. L. general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.

7. After installation is complete. check that all connections are absolutely secure.
   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 grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.

8. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not use this fan with any solid- state fan speed control device. or rheostat.

9. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.

10. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while they are rotating.

11. WARNING : To reduce the risk of personal injury do not bend the blade brackets (also referred to as ‘lanes”) during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects in the path of the blades.

12. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items. be cautions when working around or cleaning the fan.

13. Do not use water or detergent when cleaning ten fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan

WARNING: Check all connections, set screws and screws are securely tightened before the next step.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

FAN WILL NOT START:

1. Check all fuses or circuit breakers. Replace if missing.
2. Turn off electrical power and check all wire connections to Ian and in switch housing.
3. Make sure pull chain switch is on, and reverse slide switch is up or down-not In the middle.

FAN IS NOISY:

1. Use of standard light rheostat or continuously variable fan speed wall control will always cause harmonic distortions, or a humming noise. Many fan motors do not work quietly with solid state variable controls. If a quiet wall control in desired. use only 3-speed UL approved wall controls.

2. Always allow a few days “break in ” time for any new fan al medium or high speed. Try to diagnose The exact location of the noise by listening carefully from several sides (Blades, Motor ,Light kit etc.). Fan noise can come from a light kit.

3. Make sure all screws in the fan assembly and light kit are tight and properly threaded. f not. back out and retighten. Tighten these screws at least once a year because they may loosen slowly over time and cause a clicking noise.

4. Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to The fan, and all glass screws are finger
   tightened only. Do not tighten with pliers or a screw driver.

5. Make sure mounting bracket is installed snugly to junction box.

6. Make sure wire nuts in switch housing or canopy are not rattling against each other or against wall of housing. Wrap with electrical tape if necessary.

7. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.

8. Assure that the screws fastening blade Arm to motor are tight and the lock washers provided for that purpose have been used.

9. Make sure all light bulbs are fully screwed in.

FAN TU RNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCH AIR:

1. The fan may be running in reverse , so air is directed upward.
2. The room may contain items that obstruct the air flow.
3. The fan may be too small for size of the room.

FAN SHAKES OR WOBBLES:

1. A small amount of movement is considered acceptable and should not be considered a defect.
2. Make sure mounting bracket is tight at junction box/ceiling with no movement at all Tighten screws if necessary.
3. Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade arm and blade arm to motor are tight. Make sure ligt kit/glass screws are tight
4. Some fan movement is normal. However ,inter changing an adjacent (side-by-side) blade pair may redistribute the weight and result in smooth operation.
5. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the lip of one of the blades. Measure this distance as shown in Figure 15. Measurements should always be within 1/8″. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade.

BALANCING KIT
The Balancing kit should only be used if there is an unacceptable amount of fan wobble after completing all the steps in your Owners Manual under “Attaching The Fan Blades.”

1. Turn the fan on and set the speed control setting to a speed at which the wobbles is the greatest.

2. Turn off the fan and allow it to a come to a complete stop. Select one blade and place the balance clip on it, halfway between the blade holder and the blade tip on the trailing edge of blade.

3. Turn the fan on. Note whether the wobble has increased or decreased. Turn the fan off move the clip to another blade, and retest. Repeat this procedure on all blades noting the blade on which the greatest improvement is achieved.

4. Move the clip back to the blade that showed the greatest improvement.
   Move the clip inward and outward on this blade and operate the fan to find the position where the clip gives the greatest improvement.

5. Remove the clip and install a balancing weight to the top of blade along the center line near the point where the clip was positioned.

6. If the fan wobble problem has not been corrected you may wish to try to improve the balancing further by using the balancing clip and additional weights.

MAINTENANCE

1. The fan’s natural movements may cause some connections to work loose. A clicking or rattling noise is a certain sign of loosening screws. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. and tighten all screws as necessary. Make sure all screws attaching the glass to the fitter on the light kit are finger tight. Do not use a screw driver or pliers to tighten glass screws.
2. Clean your fan periodically. Use only a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use solvents. Dust with a soft cloth or brush. Metal finishes are finished with a lacquer to prevent tarnishing.
3. You will never need to oil your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide silent trouble free operation for many years.
4. Make sure the power is turned off at the main fuse or circuit panel before you attempt any repairs.
