SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before beginning installation of your new ceiling fan, read and follow these safety precautions. If you are not familiar with national and local electrical codes and basic electrical wiring procedures, we recommend that you have a qualified electrician install your new ceiling fan.

• Before you begin, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY. Determine which circuit your new fan will be using and remove the fuse or turn off the circuit breaker at the main electrical panel.
• Make sure that all wiring conforms to national and local electrical codes. If you are in question, obtain a copy of the codes and wire the fan accordingly.Never leave bare wires uncovered (wire connection), use wire nuts to cap all connections. Plastic electrical tape is not recommended.
• When working with electricity, never take short cuts. Follow the code in every respect. Basic requirements for a ceiling fan installed with lights are, 120 volts AC – 60Hz, on a grounded circuit with a 15 amp breaker or fuse. Make sure that your electrical system and choice of location meet these requirements.
• If the location where you plan to install your fan does not already have an electrical outlet, hire a licensed electrician to run the wiring and install an outlet box designed for ceiling fans or heavy fixtures. The outlet box should be able to support a minimum moving weight of 50 pounds and marked “Acceptable for Fan Support” (Plastic outlet boxes are not recommended for ceiling fan installation).
• If you plan to use an existing electrical location, check to make sure that the outlet box is not PLASTIC, that it is securely attached and able to support at least 50 pounds of moving weight and marked “Acceptable for Fan Support”. If you have any questions, outlet boxes and support systems for ceiling fans are available at most hardware and do-it-yourself centers. In most cases, your dealer will have all the necessary products for the proper and safe installation of your ceiling fan.
• The location you choose should have a minimum clearance of 20 inches from any wall to the blade tip at any point in its rotation and a minimum of 7 feet from blade level to floor and 10 inches from the blades.
• This ceiling fan was not designed for installation in any location where it might be exposed to moisture or high humidity. Installation in this type of location could be UNSAFE, will most likely damage the fan and its finish… and will VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
• Every effort has been made to provide you with proper instructions for the safe installation of this ceiling fan. You could however, encounter situations or problems not covered in this manual. Should this occur, please refer to a do-it-yourself wiring handbook or hire a qualified electrician to install your fan.
• Never attach the blades to your ceiling fan before the fan body is properly mounted on the ceiling.
• Lubrication of your new ceiling fan is not necessary. The ball bearings have been adequately charged with grease and permanently sealed at the factory so that, under normal conditions, further attention is not necessary.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount this fan to an outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support” and use the Mounting Screws provided with the outlet box. CAUTION: Install the primary mounting means and use only the hardware provided with the fan.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury take care not to bend the blade carriers. Be careful not to insert foreign objects into rotating fan blades.

WARNING
The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and careful attention to detail are factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person or persons installing, caring for, and operating the unit.

Look at Me! I have safety Tips and Ideas for installation

These instructions are designed for a number of similar but different ceiling fans. As you proceed, some steps may or may not apply to the fan you purchased. Compare each step or optional procedure to your fan and proceed accordingly.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

1. Unpack and inspect fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn off power at fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.
   

2. Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to 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).
   

3. TOOLS NEEDED
   

INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET

1. Install the mounting bracket onto the electrical junction box in the ceiling using two machine screws, two washers and two lock washers.
   

2. The mounting bracket has slotted holes to enable it to move sideways for proper alignment. Make sure the mounting bracket is centered over the electrical junction box and that it is securely attached. Pull the electrical wires in the junction box down and through the mounting bracket. Loosen the two canopy mounting screws on the downside face of the mounting bracket. Back them out about half way. This will allow for easier installation of the ceiling canopy later.
   

3. Note: Angle mount best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. Ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 16 degrees. Hanger opening must be facing up-side.
   

NO MOVEMENT SHOULD OCCUR BETWEEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX.

DOWNROD PREPARATION

1. Remove clamp pin (1) and cross pin (2) from downrod (3)
   

2. Loosen set screws in downrod coupling. Insert down rod through the canopy and coupling cover (4) as shown above. Insert motor wires through the down rod and insert the down rod into the down rod 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 keeper pin (2) into cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (3) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (4) and canopy onto the downrod above the coupling cover.
   

HANGING THE FAN BODY

1. Notice the half ball on the end of the support rod is grooved down one side. This Keyway fits over the small keyway pin on the inside of the mounting bracket and keeps the ceiling fan from spinning on the mounting bracket.\
   

2. Using your step ladder, lift the fan and place the half ball in the center of the mounting bracket with the keyway pin inserted into the keyway on the ball. Turn the fan left and right slightly to make sure it is seated on the bracket with the keyway pin in the keyway.
   

3. Trim the lead wires, leaving about six inches of each wire extending from the
   

WIRE CONNECTION

1. Use wire connnectors to connect household supply and receiver wires according to the diagram and the following steps:
   ● Connect the green wire from the downrod and mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
   ● Connect the Blue wire with the white label to the blue fan wire.
   ● Connect the Black wire with the white label to the black fan wire.
   ● Connect the White wire with the white label to the white fan wire.
   ● Connect the Black wire with the red label to the Black (live) supply wire.
   ● Connect the White wire with the red label to the White (neutral) supply wire.
   

2. Lift the ceiling canopy up into place covering the mounting bracket. Push the cannopy up so the screws come through the mounting holes in in the cannopy. Rotate the canopy slightly and tighten the screws.
   

Please refer to page 9 for remote controller and receiver installation and operation detail.

BLADES INSTALLATION

1. Insert the blades into the center band, align the holes of blade and the hole of balde bracket.
   Tighten themwith screws and washers provided.
   There are 5 holes on the blade but only need to lock 3 holes.
   

2. Always ensure that fan is set to “OFF” and blades are still prior to changing direction of blades. Reverse switch on fan should ideally be set on “FORWARD” (left position) during warmer seasons to move blades in an anticiockwise direction & “RVERSE” (right position) during our coaler seasons to make the fan

3. Remove 1 screw from the connection plate, then point the keyhole of the lamp plate at the other 3 screws, put it on, turn counterclockwise, and then take off the screws to re-lock, finally lock the other 3 screws. Align the 3 holes on LED with the 3 holes on the lamp plate and tighten it with screws. Align the glass notch with the convex point of the lamp plate, put it on, turn clockwise and secure it . Locate slots on glass shade and align with dimples on glass fitter plate. Slide onto glass fitter plate and turn in a clockwise direction until it locks into place.

• Our remote control is using RF wireless digital transmission technology. The remote kit is one-toone control and the re-encoding rate Is less than 1/5000.(There are the stickers In the back of the transmitter and receiver with the same encoding .If it damaged.the transmitter and receiver must be returned to themanufacturer for repair at the same time.
• In the allowed space,lights and fans can be controlled at any angle by the transmitter.
  ! Speclal Note:lf both the fan and the light are equipped with the swltch,please turn the fan to the highest speed and turn on the light before the use of the remote controller.
  

Notices:

1. When the transmitter can not control the fan and light.please check whether the battery of the remote controller is in good contact.whether the positive and negative electrodes are placed correctly.and whether the battery power is sufficient.
2. When the transmitter can not control the fan and light.please check whther there are similar remote products in the nearby range and check. whther the transmitter buttons are pressed. Because the same type of remote control products transmit the waves at the same time will cause mutual interference.It will after the effect of the receiver.II that case.you find out the cause by that.the control function will return to norrnal (lnfrared remote control products are not included)
3. Please use within the allowable voltage range of the producL Too low voltage will lead to failure of the remote control. The voltage range and related parameters are mentioned on the produclabel
4. Please take out the battery if you do not use the remote controller for a long time.
5. Requirements for Circuit Load:Lamp Bulb<1000W or H Tube<280Wor energy-saving lamps <200W

PROBLEM SOLUTION

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Fan will not start

1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact.CAUTION: Make sure the main power if OFF when checking any electrical connection.

Fan sounds noisy

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are sung.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touchingany other component.

Fan wobble

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused by blade levels unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades.
3. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. This distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″.
4. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent ( side by side) blades can reditribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
