4vG28XXd-L series

Monte Carlo Fan Company 4vG42XXd-L series is an indoor ceiling fan, suitable for large rooms, with a diameter of 42 or 28 inches, depending on the model. The fan can be mounted with or without a light kit, and comes with two downrod options: 4 inches or 18 inches. The fan has four blades, which can be either 42 or 28 inches long, depending on the model. The fan can be controlled by a pull chain or a remote control (not included). The fan has three speed settings: low, medium, and high. The fan is also reversible, meaning that it can be used to circulate air in either direction.

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with applicable codes and standards (ANSI/NFPA 70-

1999), including fire-rated construction.

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions contact the manufacturer.

After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on

one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.

Before you begin installing the fan, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being

switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,

to the service panel.

Be cautious! read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from

the floor to the trailing edge of the blade.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box or supporting system acceptable for fan support.

(Mounting must support at least 35 lbs.)

Do not bend blade holders during installation to motor, balancing or during cleaning. Do not insert foreign object between rotating blades.

Attach the mounting bracket using only the hardware supplied with the outlet box.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control.

If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application.

NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

The combustion airflow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equip-

ment manufacturer’s guideline safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American

Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched

on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the

service panel.

5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear

after this period.

1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball.

2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.

3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.

4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box

and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

5.Most fan wobble 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 from

blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is posi-

tioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust

blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not sup-

plied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade

tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws far-

thest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of blade.

6.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redis-

tribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

1.Check wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.

2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.

3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.

4.Check for faulty light bulbs.
