IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Thank you for choosing a Regency Ceiling Fan.  
You have chosen the best! Your new ceiling fan  
has been designed to provide many years of  
service and enjoyment.  
WARNINGS:  
*
*
*
Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional lighting.  
Support directly from building structure.  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support”  
and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of  
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician  
if in doubt.  
*
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, only use this fan with an appropriate speed control  
device designed for use with ceiling fans, if you choose a wall control. DO NOT USE A SIMPLE INCANDESCENT  
LIGHT DIMMER. Do not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.  
*
*
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing or balancing the blades or cleaning  
the fan. Do not insert any objects between rotating fan blades.  
If installing a light kit, be sure to use the lock washer and nut that comes with the kit to ensure that the kit remains  
securely fastened to the switch housing.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: DOWNROD, CANOPY  
,
AND COLLAR COVER  
1. Carefully support fan housing (motor) in its styrofoam packing with the mounting collar (where the wires come  
out) facing upward.  
2. Remove ball from downrod by loosening set screw in the side of the ball. Slide ball down and remove ball pin;  
remove ball. The 6˝ downrod is recommended (if clearance above floor allows) to provide greater air flow, since  
more space will be available above the blades for supply air.  
3. Feed the wires from top of fan through the end of the downrod you have selected, and set end of downrod into  
mounting collar so the hole in the downrod lines up with the hole in the side of the mounting collar.  
4. Insert downrod pin through holes in mounting collar and downrod; slip cotter pin through small hole in end of  
downrod pin to hold downrod pin in place.  
5. Tighten security screws against downrod using a large flat blade screwdriver to ensure a tight fit against downrod.  
Then tighten lock nuts against mounting collar.  
NOTE: Fan has 6 feet of hook-up wire in case you

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:  
Be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring  
*
1. Four wires are connected to the fan.  
Black – this is the “hot” power to run fan.  
White – this is the “common” power to run fan and light.  
Blue – this is the “hot” power for uplight and light kit.  
Green – ground wire (on bracket or downrod).  
2. If fan and light are to be connected to the same circuit, black and blue wires can both be connected to house circuit  
black wire.  
NOTE: The other end of the blue wire, (light circuit) is in the switch housing with a wire nut and label for light kit  
attachment. The white wire (common for light kit) is also there.

3. Before fastening the blade assembly to the motor with screws and metal lockwashers provided, remove the rubber  
grommets (aka shipping supports) and motor screws. Keep the motor screws. These, too, will be used to attach the  
blade assembly to the motor. Repeat procedure for remaining blades (Fig. 2). Make sure screws are TIGHT! Use large,  
flat blade screwdriver for final tightening of motor screws to completely flatten the metal washers on the screws. Use  
of a cordless power screwdriver is not recommended, as they often strip the screw heads and do not tighten securely.  
Loose motor screws can contribute to unnecessary hum and wobble during operation.

OPERATION  
Forward/Reverse Direction:  
Forward is a counterclockwise rotation of the blades  
when viewed from beneath the fan. This will create a  
downward breeze that can be felt below the fan. This  
is the normal direction for the fan to run when the  
weather is warm.  
WARM MONTHS  
Forward (counterclockwise)  
Reverse (clockwise) will draw air up through the blades  
and towards the ceiling, down the walls, and into the  
living space during the cooler months.  
COOL MONTHS  
Reverse (clockwise)  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free  
cloth to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the  
wood blades and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.  
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or  
humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans  
with painted or high gloss blades.  
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you  
experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points:  
TROUBLESHOOTING - IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
CAUTION: Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.  
1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch  
housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.  
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the screws  
securing blade brackets to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each  
other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the  
sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.  
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the  
motor. Make sure that the light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are fas-  
tened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if measure-  
ments from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust blade(s)  
so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation. Blade arms  
can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed edge on.
