LOCKING SLOTS OF CEILING CANOPY ARE PROVIDED ONLY AS AN AID TO MOUNTING. DO NOT LEAVE FAN ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED UN- TILALL FOUR CANOPY SCREWS ARE ENGAGED AND FIRMLY TIGHTENED.
Install the decorative canopy ring by aligning the ring’s slots with the screws in the canopy. Rotate the ring clockwise to lock in place.
You may now proceed to attaching the fan blades.

Attaching the Fan Blades

Insert the blade through the slot cut-off in the center flywheel, align the three screw holes in the blade with the screw holes in the flywheel and secure with the screws provided. (Figure 14)
Repeat for the remaining blades.

Blade Balancing

All blades are grouped by weight. Because natural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble even though the blades are weight matched.
The following procedure should correct most fan wobble. Check after each step.

Check that all blade 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 each blade to the point on the ceiling. Measure this distance as shown in Figure 15. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. Measurements deviation should be within 1/8”. Run the fan for 10 minutes.
Make sure that canopy is tightened securely to ceiling mounting bracket and that the ceiling mounting bracket is tightened securely to the electrical box.
Interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in the smoother operation.
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

Installing the Light Kit Fitter Assembly/ Glass Bowl

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect the electrical supply circuit to the fan before installing the light kit.

THE GLASS IS FRAGILE, USE CARE ‘WHEN INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT AND THE GLASS SHADE.

Loosen but do not remove three of four mounting screws from the fan motor assembly; Remove one mounting screw. (Figure 16)
Push the light kit fitter assembly up to the fan motor assembly so that the three loosened screw heads fit into the keyhole slots. Turn the light kit fitter assembly clockwise, tightened the screws. Re-install the screw that was removed in step 1 and tighten frmly. (Figure 16)
Place the glass bowl into the light kit fitter assembly, aligning the three flat areas on the top of the glass bowl with the three raised dimples in the light kit pan. Turn the glass bowl clockwise until it stops. (Figure 17)

NOTE:
PERIODICALLY CHECK THE GLASS SEATED FULLY CLOCKWISE IN THE LIGHT KIT ASSEMBL)

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.

The fan shipped from the factory with the reversing switch positioned to circulate air downward. If airflow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (located at the top of the motor housing, refer to figure 7 on page 4) to opposite position, and turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.

Warm weather – (Forward) A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 18. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather – (Reverse) An upward air flow moves warm air off the ceiling are as shown in Figure 19.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather

Operating Your Fan

Care of Your Fan

Here are some suggestions to maintain 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 fan from ceiling.)
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the motor, or the wood or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Warning – Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polishto the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small atches with a light application of shoe pol
There is no nced to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

Solution

Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off. Check batteries in the transmitter. Does the red LED light come on? Are you standing close enough to the fan? (Normal range is 10-20 feet.) Are the dip switch settings the same on the transmitter (hand unit) and receiver? REMEMBER TO TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CHECKING THE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS IN RECEIVER.

Fan sounds noisy

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure power is off.
Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises as: new fan disappear during this time. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling. Make sure your electrical box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting bracket and electrical box.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REP/ REFER TO THE SECTION, IAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
