COMBO-BLADE
Combo-Blades feature two high-quality finishes on one blade. Select the one
that best complements your decor, or change the style with just a flip of the
blade.
NOTE: Combo-Blade finishes vary, depending upon the model.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Unpack and inspect the fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn off power at fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs).
Before attaching the fan to the outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securely
fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box
will cause the fan to wobble).
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
Remove the screws from the two mating holes (2) on the canopy. Loosen (do not remove) the screws in the mating slots (1) on the canopy. Rotate the mounting bracket and remove it from the canopy.
Install mounting bracket to an outlet box in-ceiling using the screws and
washers provided with the outlet box.
Choose a MOUNTING OPTION
NORMAL DOWNROD OPTION
If installing downrod supplied with fan, proceed to page 12, step 9.
EXTENDED DOWNROD OPTION
If installing with a longer downrod than supplied with fan, proceed to page 9,
step 6.
DOWNROD PREPARATION
Remove clamp pin (1) and cross pin (2) from downrod (3).
EXTENDED DOWNROD OPTION
Loosen the downrod ball (1) from the downrod (2) by removing the screw (3). Slide downrod ball (1) off of downrod and remove pin (4).
Re-install pin into downrod, and slide downrod ball up to the top of the downrod. Re-install the screw to secure the ball to the downrod. Note: Some extended downloads have a pre-drilled set-screw hole. If a pre-drilled hole is present in the extended downrod, tighten the set screw into the pre-drilled hole in the extended downrod. If no pre-drilled hole exists in the extended downrod, tighten the screw against the downrod to secure the downrod ball. PROCEED TO PAGE 12, STEP 9.
DOWNROD INSTALLATION
Insert motor wires through the selected downrod and insert the downrod into the downrod coupling. Make sure to align the hole in the downrod with the hole in the downrod coupling. Install cross pin (1) removed in step 6 through coupling and downrod. Insert clamp pin (2) into the cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (3) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (4) down over the coupling and the canopy up the downrod towards the downrod ball.
MOUNTING
Carefully lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Rotate fan until the notch on downrod ball (1) engages the ridge on the mounting bracket (2). This will allow your hands to be free for wiring.
With bracket holding fan assembly, make electrical connections using the following step for wiring instructions.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
SECURE TO CEILING
For downrod fans, slide the canopy up to the mounting bracket.
Para ventiladores con varilla vertical, deslice el dosel hacia arriba hasta el
soporte de montaje.
The canopy has two mating slots (1) and two mating holes (2). Position both slots on the canopy directly under and in line with two screws in the mounting bracket (3). Lift the canopy, allowing the two screws to slide into the mating slots. Rotate the canopy until both screws from the mounting bracket drop into the slot recesses. Tighten screws securely. Install two screwsinto the mating holes of the canopy and tighten them to secure the canopy to the mounting bracket.
BLADE INSTALLATION
Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1), fabric washers (2).
Insert the blade assemblies through the slots on the side of the motor housing as shown. Using the access slot in the switch housing plate (shown in the diagram) to attach the blade brackets using the provided blade screws and spring washers. Tighten the screws securely.
SWITCH HOUSING CAP INSTALLATION
Attach the switch housing cap using three small screws provided.
Assemble decorative fob and extension chains from hardware bag to fan pull chains by inserting the end of the chain into chain coupling. Confirm chains are held by lightly pulling both chains in coupling.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Operation
Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls direction, forward or reverse.
Warm weather/down position – (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A
downward airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in illustration A.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher temperature setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool-weather/up position – (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in illustration B.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting
your comfort.
NOTE: Turn off and wait for the fan to stop before changing the setting
of the forward/reverse slide switch.
Maintenance
-
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.
-
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 electrical shock. -
Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
-
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this troubleshooting chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your qualified electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
TROUBLE | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
---|---|
1. If the fan does not start: | 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or |
circuit breakers.
2. Check wire connections as performed in step #12 or #13 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure the main power is turned off.
3. Make sure the forward/reverse switch is firmly in the up or down position.
The fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle.
4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.
2. If fan sounds noisy:| 1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing
are snug (not overtightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the
motor are tight.
3. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
4. Allow a “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new
fan will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles:| All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural
woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all
blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should
eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble after each step.
1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to the motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to a
ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in a smoother
operation.
