TROUBLESHOOTING

2. Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure transmitter batteries are installed properly, and ensure the batteries have a good charge.
Fan sounds noisy. | 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sum main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
6. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
Fan wobble. | 1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″.
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
Remote control malfunction. | 1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch, if desired.
2. Make sure the frequency dip switches in the transmitter and receiver have identical settings.
3. Make sure the Black Antenna on the receiver is NOT tangled with any other electrical wires and is extended around the inside of the ceiling canopy.
