MONTAGE

Installing the mouting plate

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MAINS POWER BEFORE INSTALLING OR CARYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE CEILING FAN.
Be sure to hang the fan in a place where the distance between the fan blades and the floor will be at least 2.30m.

In the packaging the mounting plate is already assembled to the canopy by four screws (see figure A).
Loosen the two screws 1 halfway (B).
Unscrew the two screws 2 completely and remove them (C).
Remove the mounting plate from the canopy and unscrew the yellow-green earth wire from the canopy (D).
Lead the wires emerging from your ceiling through the opening in the mounting plate (E).
Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling (F). Make sure the mounting plate is mounted firmly enough to hold a minimum weight of 23 kg (51 lb).
Now connect the wires to the terminal block on the mounting plate in the following way (G):
• Blue wire N
• Brown or black wire L
• Earth wire (yellow-green)

Installing the down rod onto the motor

Remove the cotter pin and metal pin from the down rod (see figure H).
Lead the down rod through the canopy (I).
Untighten the two screws on the motor (J).
Remove the cable binder from around the wiring and lead the wires through the down rod (K). Make sure not to damage the wiring in the process.
Reinstall the metal pin into the down rod (L) en secure it by reinsterting the cottor pin (M).
Tighten the two screws on the motor (N). The down rod has now been installed correctly.

Installing the fan blade holders onto the fan blades

The fan blades of this ceiling fan can be installed both with the white as the wood-colored side pointed downwards.

Take a fan blade holder and place it onto a fan blade as shown in figure O.
Insert a screw with a red ring through the fan blade holder and fan blade.
Place a cap nut under the fan blade, then tighten the screw into the cup nut.

Installing the fan blades onto the motor

The screws for installing the fan blades have already been screwed into the motor housing. Unscrew them and remove them from the motor housing (see figure P).
Take a fan blade with fan blade holder and screw it to the motor housing using two screws (Q).
Repeat the process for the other five fan blades.

The fan blades have now been installed correctly.

Installing the fan to the mounting plate

Lift up the fan and insert the “J-hook” on the mounting plate through one of the openings in the canopy
(see figure R). This will leave your hands free for connecting the fan’s wiring.
Connect all earth wires (yellow-green) to the canopy ( , S).
Connect the wiring coming from the down rod to the terminal block on the mounting plate in the following way (T):
• Blue wire N
• Brown and black wires L
Now lift the fan from the “J-hook”, place the fan over the two screws 1 in the mounting plate and tighten the screws firmly (U).
Insert the two screws 2 into the mounting plate and tighten them firmly as well (U).
Secure the down rod as depicted in figure V.
Now, place a lamp type E27 (60 Watts max.) in the lamp socket (W).
Carefully attach the glass lamp cover using the three screws already screwed into the motor housing (X).
The fan has now been installed correctly.

You can now switch the mains power back on.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Trouble	Prabable Cause	Suggested Remedy
Fan will not start	1. The fan is connected to a light switch which has been

turned off.
2. Fuse or circuit breaker blown or mains power not switched back on.
3. Loose power line connections to the fan.| 1. Check whether the light switch has been turned on.
2. Check whether the mains power has been switched on.
3. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.

Fan wobbles or shakes excessively.| 1. Mounting plate hasn’t beeninstalled correctly.
2. The down rod hasn’t been secured properly.| 1. Check to make sure the mounting plate is (still) firmly attached to the ceiling. See ‘Montage – Installing the mouting plate’.
2. Check to make sure the down rod has been secured properly. See ‘Montage – Installing the down rod to the motor’.

Balancing the fan blades

We do our utmost to ensure that your fan is of the highest quality. Nevertheless, it may sometimes be out of balance. If the fan is unstable or shaking excessively, first follow the steps under `TROUBLESHOOTING’. If the fan persists to shake excessively, try to exchange two opposing fan blades and turn on the fan. If after this operation the fan still persists to shake, please use the balancing set:

Turn on the fan and find the speed at which the shaking is the worst. Turn off the fan.
Select one of the fan blades and place the balancing clamp halfway the straight side of the blade (see figure A). Turn the fan back to the speed at which the shaking was the worst. Check whether the shaking has become less. Turn off the fan.
Repeat this procedure with each remaining blade and check which blade shows the most improvement.
Place the balancing clamp on the fan blade where you found the most improvement once more and push the clamp inward or outward onto the blade (B). Turn the fan back to the speed at which the shaking was the worst. Check whether the shaking has become less. Turn off the fan.
Repeat this procedure and check at which position of the balance clamp you see the most improvement.
Remove the balancing clamp and paste one of the two balance weights on the upper side of the blade where you found most improvement, exactly on the spot where the balancing clamp was located (C).

Please note that all ceiling fans can continue to shake very lightly.
