SECURE TO CEILING
For flush mount fans, carefully lift fan up to the mounting bracket, making sure not to break any wire connections. For downrod fans, slide the canopy up to the mounting bracket.
The canopy has two mating slots (1) and two mating holes (2). Position both slots on 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 clockwise until both screws from the mounting bracket drop into the slot recesses. Tighten screws securely. Install two screws and lock washers into the mating holes of the canopy and tighten to secure the canopy to the mounting bracket.
BLADE INSTALLATION
| |
---|---|---
Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1) and fabric
washers (2).| Check the motor for plastic shipping stabilizer tabs (1), and
remove them if they are present. Attach blade assembly to motor using the
noise-dampening motor gaskets (2) and motor screws provided. Tighten screws
securely. NOTE: Some models do
not utilize motor gaskets, washers, or stabilizer tabs.| Assemble decorative
fob and extension chains from hardware bag to fan pull chains by inserting end
of 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 operation of fan. The pull chain controls the fan
speeds as follows: 1 pull – high; 2 pulls – medium; 3 pulls – low; 4 pulls –
off. 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 air flow 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 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 Trouble Shooting 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 fan does not start: | 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit |
breakers.
2. Check wire connections as performed in step #15 of installation. CAUTION:
Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly to one side or the other. Fan
will not operate when 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 over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the
motor are tight.
3. If using an optional Ceiling Fan Light Kit, check to be sure the screws
securing the glassware are finger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight
in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass,
remove glass and install a 6mm wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an
insulator. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
4. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5. Allow “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 motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to
ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
