Safety Information
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the product.
- All electrical connections must comply with local codes, ordinances, or the National Electric Code (NEC). Contact your municipal building department for local codes, permits, and inspections.
- Turn off electricity at the main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
- Do not connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded.
- If you are unsure if your lighting system has a grounding means, do not attempt to install this fixture. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for information regarding proper grounding methods.
- Ensure the installation site allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. from the ends of the blades to any obstruction.
- If a dimmer control switch is used, obtain professional advice to determine the correct type and electrical rating required.
- The lighting fixture must be positioned so there is at least 1.64 ft. between the bulb and any illuminated surface.
- For supply connections, connect the fan's grounded conductor to a grounded conductor power supply, the ungrounded conductor to an ungrounded conductor power supply, and the equipment grounding conductor to an equipment-grounding conductor.
DANGER:
- Installing a fixture into an electrical system without proper grounding can allow metal parts to carry electrical currents. If wires, connections, or splices are broken, cut, or loose, contact with the fixture can cause electrical shock, serious injury, or death.
- Connecting the bare or green fixture ground wire to black or white house wires may allow metal parts to carry electrical currents, leading to electrical shock, serious injury, or death upon contact.
- Be careful not to damage or cut wire insulation during installation. Do not permit wires to contact sharp edges, as this may damage insulation and cause electrical shock, serious injury, or death.
Warnings and Preparation
WARNING:
- Risk of fire: Dwellings built before 1985 may have supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed device or variable speed control.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend blade brackets when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan.
- Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
- Do not install or use the fan if any part is damaged or missing.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to a metal outlet box marked 'ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS OR LESS' and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box or support directly from the building structure. Most outlet boxes for luminaries are not acceptable for fan support and may need replacement. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
- Before servicing or cleaning, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent accidental power-on. If the means cannot be locked, fasten a prominent warning device (tag) to the service panel.
CAUTION:
- Do not use bulbs with a wattage greater than the maximum value stated on the fixture and in this manual. Using a higher wattage bulb increases fixture temperature and fire risk.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM | PROBABLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
---|---|---|
Fan sounds noisy | 1. Set screws are loose. 2. Using non-approved speed control. 3. Normal noise. 4. Wire connectors inside switch housing rattling. 5. Cracked blade. 6. The distance from canopy to ceiling is too great. 7. Lamp shade is not secure. | 1. Tighten all set screws. 2. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a solid-state variable speed control. 3. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period. 4. Check to make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing. 5. Replace blades. 6. Make sure upper canopy is a short distance from ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling. 7. Secure the lamp shade. |
Fan wobbles | 1. Hanger bracket and/or ceiling outlet box is not securely fastened. 2. Set screw in downrod assembly is loose. 3. Fan hanger ball is not properly seated in canopy tabs. 4. Set screw in motor coupling is loose. 5. Blade is loose. 6. Blade holders are loose. 7. Blade out of balance. 8. Fan too close to vaulted ceiling. 9. Transition to different speed. 10. Fan not securely mounted. | 1. Tighten the hanger bracket screws to the outlet box, and/or secure outlet box. 2. Tighten the set screw in the downrod assembly. 3. Turn power off, support the fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated. 4. Raise motor coupling up and tighten set screws securely. 5. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders. 6. Check to be sure the fan blade irons seat firmly and uniformly on the surface of the motor.
