Choose one of the following mounting options:
Closemount is best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet. It does not utilize the downrod.
Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer
downrod (not included).
Angled Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to
ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not
steeper than 10°.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SUGGESTED REMEDY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or personal injury, shut o the power supply to fan before
you begin any maintenance tasks.
1. Fan does not start:
1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch is pushed completely left or right. Fan will not operate
when switch is in the middle.
1. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the light kit.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT
USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is
mounted rmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are screwed rmly into blade arms.
3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade
balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or
light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
1. Press and hold the high and low speed buttons on the remote control at the same time
for 5 seconds. The LED indicator will ash 3 times. When syncing is complete, the fan will
start on the low speed with the light (if applicable) o.
2. Replace the transmitter battery with a new 12-volt battery.
2. Fan is noisy:
3. Fan wobbles:
