4. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for optimal operation.

NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you may need to purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

5. HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin.

To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cover from the canopy by turning the cover counter clockwise. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket from the canopy by removing (and save) one of the two screws. Loosen the remaining screw by a half turn. (Fig. 5)

Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig.6)

Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to the outlet box using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)

Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening the set screw, removing the cross pin and sliding the ball off the rod. (Fig.7)

Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and retaining clip from the coupling on top of the motor assembly. (Fig. 8)

Step 7. Carefully feed the electrical lead wires from the fan up through the downrod. Thread the downrod into the coupling until the Hitch pin holes are aligned.

Next, replace the hitch pin and retaining clip. Tighten both set screws. (Fig. 8)

12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the power on and check the operation of your ceiling fan.

The "center" pull chain turns the light fixture On and Off.

The "outside" pull chain controls the 3 speeds of your ceiling fan.

1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low and the 4th pull turns the motor off.

The Black Slide Switch on the side of the switch housing controls the direction of the blades "Forward and Reverse".

Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 18. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 19. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Solution

Fan will not start.

1. Check that all fuses or circuit breakers are installed or in the ON position.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.

Fan sounds noisy.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is 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 touching any other component.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

Fan wobble.

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

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO INUSRE THE PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
