Installation of the hanging bracket(suspension part)
For the wooden ceiling, use a wood screw to drill on the wooden beam or the “junction box” to fix the hanging bracket (selection is made according to actual requirements of the customers).
STEP 1A-WOODEN CEILING
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICAL MAINS AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FUSE BOX.
- Use the Mounting Bracket(A) as a guide, mark the spots where the 4 Self Tapping Screws (B) will be drilled.
- Remove the Mounting Bracket(A), drill 4 holes for 3MM diameter, install the mounting bracket onto the wooden ceiling with 4 Self Tapping Screws (B) & Washers (C).
NOTE: SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED TILL SUNG
Note: According to the ceiling
of different materials, use different screws to fix the hanging bracket. Don’t
fix the hanging bracket on the wood ceiling less than 12MM to prevent danger
caused by loosening of screws. After the hanging bracket is completed, ensure
that it can withstand the tension test of more than 68KG for safety.
For the concrete ceiling, use the percussion bit with a diameter 8mm to drill
holes according to the length of expansion screws. Then use the attached
expansion screws to fix the hanging bracket onto the ceiling (selection is
made according to actual requirements of the customers).
STEP 2A-CONCRETE CEILING
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICAL MAINS AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FUSE BOX.
- Use the Mounting Bracket (A) as a guide, mark the spots where the 4 Expansion Bolts (B) will be drilled.
- Remove the Mounting Bracket (A), drill 4 holes, and insert4 Expansion Bolts(2) into the concrete ceiling, install the mounting bracket, and secure with Flat Washers (C), Spring Washers (D), and Nuts (E).
IMPORTANT: SCREWS&NUTS MUST BE TIGHTENED TILL SUNG
Install the hanging part of the ceiling fan.
Installing of downrod
- Thread the suspender through the suspended clock and coupling cover.
- Then insert the tail of the suspender from the lifting head of the motor.
- Remove the lateral pin out from the suspended head position, secure it with R type pin(Clevis pin).
- Tighten the lifting head screws. Tighten the 2 Set Screws on the Coupling to serve as a clamping force on the Downrod to prevent fan shaking during operation.
- Route the Coupling cover, Canopy Ring, Canopy, and Hanger Ball through the Downrod in turn, and then install the lock pin through the hole on the Downrod. Fix it by Screw, then slip down the Coupling Cover incorrect position.
Preparing for standard mounting
- Loosen the two canopy screws located in the bottom of the mounting bracket(L-shaped slots), and turn the canopy counterclockwise to remove the mounting bracket from the canopy.
- Remove and save the two canopy screws in the round holes.
Installing remote control receiver
- Carefully push the canopy to the bottom of the mounting bracket, make two sliding holes aligned to the two prominent screws on the mounting bracket, and then turn clockwise until tight.
- Push the canopy ring to the bottom of the canopy, slide the inner holes aligned to the two prominent screws on the mounting bracket again, and turn the canopy ring clockwise until tight.
Preparing for mounting
- Remove the mounting bracket from the canopy by loosening the two canopy screws located in the L-shaped slots.
- Remove and save the two canopy screws in the round holes.
This will enable you to remove the mounting bracket.
Assembly – Attaching the Fan Blades
Fastening the blade to the motor
NOTE: Your fan blades are reversible. Select the blade side finish which
best accentuates your decor.
NOTE: Your fan features revolutionary advancements for quick and easy
blade installation. including an alignment post and captive blade arm screws.
WARNING: Remove the rubber motor stops on the bottom of the fan before
installing the blades or testing the motor.
- Fasten the Blade to the fan-motor assembly by inserting the alignment post into the slot on the bottom of the motor and tightening the pre-installed Blade screws.
- Repeat this step for the remaining blade assemblies.
Assembly Attaching the Lights
Install the lamp fitter
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical circuit to the fa before installing the light fixture.
- Remove three screws from the plate on the motor.
- Use these three screws to assemble the light kit fitter.
Connecting lamp wire
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the electrical circuit to the fa before installing the light fixture.
- Insert the “white” line in the switching box of the motor into the “white” line of the light and tie insulated rubber tape.
- Insert the “blue” line in the switching box of the motor into the “blue” line of the light and tie insulated rubber tape.
Install the lamp cover
WARNING: Allow the shatter-resistant bowl to cool completely before
removing it.
CAUTION: Make sure the power is off before attaching or removing the
shatter-resistant bowl.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the hex nut, overtightening the hex nut may
cause the shatter-resistant bowl to break.
Use of remote control
- ALL OFF: Turn off the lights and fans at the same time
- Fan Control Keys Y
- F/R: Changing fan run direction(15 sec)
- Timer: It will turn off the light and the fan when the time is over
- Light up / Light on/off / Lights dimmed

Remote control wiring diagram
Fans Balance.
Slide the balancing clip on the trailing edge of any blade, halfway between the holder and tip. Run the fan to check the wobble. If the wobble persists, repeat with each blade, noting which one most reduced the wobble.
Slide the clip in small increments away from the center
of that blade. Move the clip, operate the fan, then move it again until you
eliminate as much wobble as possible.
Stick the adhesive-backed balancing weight on the top center of the blade
directly in line with the balancing clip.Add more weight if needed to get a
smooth-running fan.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
- 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. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
- Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
- You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
- You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The fan will not Start. |
- Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
- Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
The fan is noisy.|
- Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
- Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
- Ensure the wire nut connections are not ratting against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
- If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight check that the light bulbs are also secure.
- Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling It should not touch the ceiling.
- Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
The fan wobbles.|
- Please check and follow the instructions: Chapitre No.12 Fan balance on page 10.
