9. Blade Assembly.
Time Saver:
Washers for blade screws can be set on
each blade screw prior to installing blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and washers in
hardware pack. Hold blade arm up to blade and align
holes. Insert 3 blade attachment screws (along with
washers) with fingers first and then tighten screws
securely with Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure
for the remaining blades.
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from
underside of motor. If plastic motor locks are installed
with blade arm screws, discard plastic motor locks
(
save blade arm screws and lock washers to secure
blade arms
). Install long fiber washer (provided in a
hardware pack) between motor and blade arm to
reduce vibration of metal to metal surfaces. Align
blade arm holes with motor screw holes and attach
blade arm with lock washers and blade arm screws.
Before securing screws permanently, repeat
procedure with remaining blade arms. Securely
tighten all screws.
Note
: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.

11. Testing Your Fan.
It is recommended that you test fan before
finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit
box and wall switch (if applicable). Test fan speeds
with the pull chain directly opposite the reverse
switch. Start at the OFF position (no blade
movement). First pull will set the fan to HI. Second
pull will set the fan to MEDIUM. Third pull will set
the fan to LOW. Fourth pull will re-set the fan to
OFF setting.
Turn fan completely off
before
moving the reverse
switch. Set reverse switch to recirculate air
depending on the season:
- DOWN position in summer (
diagram 1
)
- UP position in winter (
diagram 2
)
A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat
setting in summer and lower your thermostat
setting in winter without feeling a difference in
your comfort.
IMPORTANT
: Reverse switch must be set either
completely UP or completely DOWN for fan to
function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle
position (
diagram 3
), fan will not operate.
Attach pull chain extension provided or custom
pull chain extension (sold separately) to ends of
pull chains.
