MOUNTING OPTIONS
Three Mounting Options
Choose one of the following mounting options:
Closemount method is best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet. It does not
utilize the downrod.
Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings
you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
Angled Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer
downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance from the
ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not
steeper than 10°.

• Connect the white wire (with white label) from receiver to white (neutral/common) wire from the fan.
• Connect the green wires from the fan and mounting bracket to the bare/green (ground) supply wire. Note: The downrod is not used for closemount installation, so there will only be two green wires to connect. Important: After the connections have been made, the connected wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Place the black and white wire connections on opposite sides of the outlet box. -
Align the canopy over the loosened mounting bracket screws. Place the J-slot of the canopy onto the mounting bracket screws and rotate clockwise. Secure the canopy
with the two previously removed mounting bracket screws. Tighten all the mounting bracket screws securely. -
Partially insert three blade screws along with three blade washers through one blade and into one blade arm. Tighten each blade screw with a Phillips screwdriver (not
included), starting with the one in the middle. Repeat this step for the remaining blades and blade arms. -
Install the blade arm to the underside of the motor assembly with previously removed motor screws. Tighten each blade arm completely before moving to the next.
-
Remove the three switch housing screws from the top edge of the light kit. Then, connect the single-pin connectors from the switch housing to the single-pin connectors from the light kit — blue to blue and white to white. Then, use the three previously removed switch housing screws, secure the light kit to the switch housing.
-
Remove the socket ring from each socket. Raise the glass shade over the socket of the light kit. Secure the glass shade by twisting the socket ring clockwise onto the
socket. Repeat for each socket.
-

1. Fan does not start:| 1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely up or down. Fan will
not operate when switch is in the middle.
---|---
2. Fan is noisy:| 1. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but
not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against
the interior wall of the switch housing.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against
the interior wall of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
3. Fan wobbles:| 1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to
outlet box and outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan
using the blade balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
4. Light does not work:| 1. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or
single-pin connectors in switch housing or light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
3. Check for faulty light bulbs.
4. Ensure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent
bulbs only).
5. Remote control does not work:| 1. To re-sync wall control to the fan –
Switch the power to the fan off and back on again.
Within 30 seconds, press and hold the HIGH SPEED and LOW SPEED buttons (or the
“LEARN” button, located in the battery compartment) for 5 seconds. Fan will
turn on at low speed and light off. This confirms the syncing process is
successful.
2. Insert new CR2032 batteries in battery compartment of the wall control.
3. If there are several fans in close proximity, turn power off to other fans
and re-sync the remote (see Corrective Action 1 above).
