WARRANTY:

  All fan bodies and fan motors are 

warranted against defect for one (1) year 

from time of sale. Please keep any dated 
invoices or sales receipts for proof of 
purchase.

DISCLAIMER:

  All DC powered ceiling fan motors are 

rated for one (1) amp maximum input.

  All warranties on the motor and body 

part are voided if the power input to the 
motor exceeds one (1) amp.

  When operating an DC powered ceiling 

fan directly from a Photo Voltaic (PV) 
panel, without a battery in the circuit, be 

sure the output of the panel does not 
exceed 20 watts at 12 or 24 Vdc.

  THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION :

1. It is recommended that all Nextek 

Fanworks DC ceiling fans be used in 

conjunction with the Nextek 12/24V 
Speed Controller.

2. If operating in a 12V environment, the 

12/24V speed control is required.

3. The Nextek DC ceiling fans can be 

operated above 24VDC, but not to 
exceed 48VDC.  A 48VDC Speed 
Controller can be special ordered.  The 
12/24V speed control is designed to work 
only between 12V and 24V.

4. A Nextek 12.6 watt solar panel is 

available and perfectly matched for 
this DC powered ceiling fan and speed 
control.

5. For new installations:  This is a low-

voltage 12/24V DC-powered device.  
Appropriate sizing of a solar panel, 

CAUTION:

1.  Read entire instructions carefully before 

beginning installation.

2.   To avoid possible electrical shock, be certain 

electricity is shut off at main panel before 

wiring.

3.   All wiring must be in accordance with 

national and local electrical codes. If you 

are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a 

qualified electrician.

WARNING:

1.   To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock 

use Nextek 12/24V speed controls only.

2.   To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not 

bend the blade brackets when installing the 

brackets or cleaning the fan. Do not insert 

foreign objects in between rotating fan 

blades.

3.   To reduce the risk of personal injury, install 

the fan only to the building structure 

according to these instructions, and use only 

the hardware supplied.

MY FAN MAKES A RUBBING SOUND WHEN RUNNING: 

Turn your fan off, when the blades have stopped turning, spin the fan with your hand, if you hear the 

rubbing sound, it is most likely that the fan’s hub is rubbing against the motor housing.
Loosen the hub’s set screw; remove the decorative knob covering the fan’s motor shaft. Using a flat 
bladed screw driver, pry the safety push nut away from the hub (about 1/8 inch) Try spinning the fan 
again, if the rubbing sound is gone, then re-tighten the set screw and replace the decorative knob.

MY FANS BLADES SEEM TO GO UP AND DOWN AS THE FAN SPINS: 

Turn fan off, gently rotate hub by hand, look for the high and low movement of the blades. Grab the 

hub at the high spot with one hand, with your other hand, grab the low spot, then “gently” push the 
low side of the hub up while pulling down on the high side. Spin the hub again and see if the up/down 

wobble is gone, if not, repeat the procedure until problem is fixed.

battery and battery charge controller are 

essential for proper operation.  Consult a 
qualified installer of DC devices to insure 
correct configuration.

6. For installation in existing DC power 

environment:  Great care must be taken 
to ensure fan is wired properly in existing 
DC power environment.  Warranty may 

be violated if attempting to operate in 
anything other than 12/24V DC.   Please 
consult a qualified technician. 

7. Failure to wire correctly or install in non-

recommended power environment may 

violate your warranty.

7.  Lift completed motor and hub assembly 

to mounting bracket on ceiling, and slip 
one hole on side of mounting cone over 
hook on bracket.

8.  With motor and assembly hanging from 

hook, connect fan wires to the house 

wires using three (3) wire nuts included 
with fan. Connect white wire of fan to 
the negative power house wire and the 
black wire of the fan to the positive 
power house wire.  The green wire 
should be connected to the ground wire 
on the mounting bracket. Fan should 
operate in a counter-clockwise direction 
for downward draw (Summer).  For 
upward draw (Winter), use the reverse 

button on the Speed Controller.

9.  After wires are connected, remove 

fan from hook, and slip mounting cone 
over mounting bracket.  Align the open 
holes of cone with the two screws, and 
rotate until cone will stay in place.  Then 
replace the other two screws in cone 
and tighten all four screws firmly.
