Re-install cross pin into downrod and slide downrod ball up until cross pin fits firmly into ball. Tighten set screw in ball.

Loose (but do not remove) the set screws from the down rod coupling. Insert downrod (1) into downrod coupling (2). Make sure to align hole in downrod with the hole in downrod coupling. Install cross pin (3) through coupling and downrod. Insert clamp pin (4) into cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (5) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (6) over the downrod coupling.

MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

Carefully lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Rotate fan until notch on downrod ball (1) engages the ridge (2) on the mounting bracket. This will allow for hands free wiring.

MOUNTING

After hanging fan onto the mounting bracket, make sure plug connectors from the ceiling fan and terminal block (1) are moved away from the space located above the downrod ball (2). Slide the remote receiver into the space above the downrod ball as shown.

WIRING OPTIONS

While fan is hanging on bracket, plug 4-pole connector from the mounting bracket into the 4-pole plug connector from the remote receiver (1). Plug the 4-pole plug connector from the remote receiver into the 4-pole plug connector from the fan (2).

SECURE TO CEILING

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 until both screws from the mounting bracket drop into the slot recesses. Tighten screws securely. Install two screws into the mating holes of the canopy and tighten to secure the canopy to the mounting bracket.

BLADES INSTALLATION

Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1), rubber washers (2), flat washers (3) and nuts (4). Please screw the screws with a manual scredriver and not with an electric screwdriver!

Attach blade assembly to motor using the screws (1), rubber washers (2), metal washers (3) provided.

BRACKET OF TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

Note: Install two AAA batteries by removing battery cover on back of transmitter, installing batteries, and replacing battery cover. If desired, install the transmitter holder onto the wall with included screws.

REMOTE CONTROL

Remote Control Operation

1. Turning fan off (switch symbol) – press and release.
2. Turning on fan speeds button-press and release. The remote control operates the fan speed as below: 3-high; 2-medium; 1-low.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR CEILING FAN

Restore electrical power to the outlet box by turning on the electricity at the main fuse box. To make the fan operational, open battery door by pressing and sliding down the battery door. Install two AAA 1.5V batteries (not included) into the hand-held remote transmitter(if not used for long periods of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage to the transmitter).

1. This unit finished learning process inside manufactory, if replace transmitter or receiver, user need to redo learning process before using this unit.
2. After installing the unit and power on, open battery cover (with batteries, DC1.5V/AAA 2pcs, installed) and press and hold fan off key 1~3seconds, FAN will be running medium speed, which indicate that learning process finished. Learning effect distance is same with remote’s. Please note that must press the fan off key within 30 seconds after power on. If just replace batteries, no need to re-learn.
3. Please note that the transmitter can pair with multiple receivers. When the transmitter does not control the receiver, please check if any similar remote controls are working nearby, disconnect them and then proceed with pairing process again.
4. Store the remote transmitter away from excessive heat or humidity.
5. Battery of low power or not-used for long time should be replaced.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

Operation

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

breakers.
2. Check terminal block connections as performed in step #10 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. 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. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid
State variable speed control.
4. 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 blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
2. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
3. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the
weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
4. If light does not work:| 1. Check to see that molex connector in the switch housing is connected
2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
