WARNING:
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the light switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
- To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 Meters) above the floor and at least 18 inches (0.5 Meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
- 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.
- The installation has to be in accordance with the national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
- Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.

SECONDARY HANGING SYSTEM
For installation in the United States: Building codes in the U.S.A. do not require the installation of a Secondary Hanging System. If desired, the braided cable can be cut and removed using wire cutters (sold separately). Skip to Step 8.
For installation in Canada: In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required. -
Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.
-
Install secondary support screw, secondary spring washer, and support washer partly into the side of the brace installed in the ceiling. Then lift the braided cable up and over the ceiling brace and place the open loop of the braided cable around the secondary support screw.
Note: The ceiling support brace may not be accessible from below. If not, it must be accessed from above.
Important: The braided cable must make a complete circle around the support brace to secure the fan.
-
Tighten the secondary support screw securing the braided cable.
-
Connect supply and fan wires according to the diagram and these steps:
• Connect the Green wire from the mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
• Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
• Connect the Black wire from the fan to the Black (hot) supply wire.
• Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors.
Note: The Black wire is hot power. The White wire is neutral. The Green wire is the ground wire. If supply wires are different colors than referred to above, a professional
the electrician should determine the proper wiring.
-

PROBLEM | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
---|
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal
injury, shut off the power supply to a fan before you begin any maintenance
tasks.
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 the forward/reverse switch is pushed completely left or right.
Fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle.
2. Fan is noisy:| 1. Make sure all screws in the 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 the
outlet box and the outlet box is mounted firmly to a 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 the fan is connected to the hot power supply
wire.
5. Remote control does not work:| 1. After installation is complete, switch
the power off and back on again. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the “LEARN”
button, located in the battery compartment, for 5 seconds. Fan will turn on at
low speed and light off. This confirms that the SMART SYNC is active.
2. Insert new 12V battery in battery compartment of the remote control.
3. If there are several fans in close proximity, turn the power off to other
fans and re-sync the remote (see Corrective Action 1 above).
