other 2 screws (along with the star washers) – save for later use. Twist
canopy to remove the hanging bracket.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers
and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box. If installing on a
vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket towards high point of
ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and
away from the hanging bracket opening.

Fan Balance
- Put the clip in the center of a blade. Turn on the fan and if the shade persists, put the clip in another blade until the shade is reduced. Then this blade will need the counterweight
- Please the clip on the blade that needs the counterweight and try the best place to place it, from the center to the tip of the blade, until the wobble disappears
- Paste the counterweight on the surface of the blade which near the clip, remove the clip and test the fan. If it keeps staggering, put another counterweight. If it gets worse, try another area to place it. Please try patiently until the fan is balanced
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 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.
- 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.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The fan will not start | □ 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 10-20 feet
□ Turn the power off and ensure that the dip switch settings are the same on the remote control and receiver
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 ratting 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.
□ Ensure the screws securing the light kit and ensure the lamp cover is secure.
□ Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
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. Repeat for each blade. 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 and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
