Operating Instructions

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution
Fan will not start.
  1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
  2. Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
    CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.

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 sure main power is off.

  4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear 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. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.

  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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO ENSURE THE PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN, NEVER ATTACH THE BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTED ON THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
