TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. FAN / REMOTE IS NOT WORKING
Ensure the remote is within the 20 foot range of the receiver
To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or
circuit breaker.
2) Remove batteries from remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and
turn power on
Check batteries to insure they are good and oriented correctly
Check to make sure the frequency switches (DIP Switches) from the remote to
the receiver are set to the same frequency
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
If using a Variable Speed Wall Switch,ensure it is specifically designed for
use with a ceiling fan.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and the switch wire connections in
the switch housing per the instructions
If fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service Support@Parrot

2. THE FAN IS NOISY
Make sure all motor housing screws are tight
Make sure the screws that attach fan blade to motor are tight
Make sure the wire nut connectors are not rattling against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing
Allow 24-hour break in period. Most noises associated with the new fan may
disappear during this time
if using a ceiling light kit,make sure the glassware is secured tightly
Make sure there is a short distance/gap from the ceiling to the top of the
canopy. The canopy should not touch the ceiling!
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that the rubber insulating pads are
used between the mounting bracket and outlet box
3. THE FAN WOBBLES
Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble
problems are caused by loose parts).Once fan is properly installed,run the
ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level
using the following process:
a) select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Then
select the fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to
point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and
repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurements should be within 1/8 inch.
b) If all deviation are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble,
please contact Customer Service Support@parrot Uncle.com to order a
complimentary Blade Balancing Kit
-If all deviation are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer service Support@Parrot Uncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.
4. LIGHT IS NOT WORKING
Loose electrical connections.
Shut off the branch circuit electricity at the fuse box or breaker panel and
check the LED light fixture assembly electrical connectors for proper
installation.
To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or
circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote. 3) wait 10 seconds. 4)
Replace batteries and turn power on
AFTER INSTALLATION
Wobble
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble
Note: c eiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are mounted on a rubber grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling, It would cause excess vibration. Movement of A few centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest any problem to reduce the fan Wobble: Please check that all screws which secured the mounting bracket and downrod are secure.
Balancing a wobbling ceiling fan:
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 electing 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″(0.32cm).
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, Interchanging two adjacent (side
by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
Warning: To reduce the risk of personal injury, Do not bend the blade arm while installing, Balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
Noise
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises.
