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)
HANGING THE FAN
REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin installation. This is necessary for your safety and also the proper programming of the
control system.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.
Step 1. Pass the 120 Volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the mounting bracket. Securely attach the Ceiling
Mounting Plate/Bracket to the ceiling junction box as shown. ( Fig. 4)
Step 2. Hook the motor body onto the Ceiling Mounting Plate/Bracket as shown. You can now proceed with the electrical wiring of your fan. (Fig. 5)
INSTALLATION THE SAFETY SUPPORT
A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from failing, please install it as follows.
Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8″) of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 6)
Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall lenght is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cabel clamp, forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety cabel over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely. (Fig. 7)
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only. It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

Warm Weather Operation:
Forward (counterclockwise) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect . This allows you set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your general comfort.
Cool Weather Operation: Reverse (clockwise) An upward airflow creates a warm air off the ceiling areas. This allows you set your air conditioner on a cooler setting without affecting your general comfort.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Fan will not start.
Solution: 1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) sidefacing out.
4. Insure the batteries have a good charge.
Problem: Fan sounds noisy.
Solution: 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
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 touching any other component.
6. Do not connect this fan to a wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
Problem: Fan wobble.
Solution: 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.
Problem: Remote control malfunction.
Solution: 1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated inconjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch, if desired.
