TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Please refer to the instruction sheet for detailed directions and descriptions of installation steps and requirements.

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 the fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from the remote. 3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn the power on
• Check batteries to ensure 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 the fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotuncle.com

2. THE FAN IS NOISY

• Make sure all motor housing screws are tightened
• Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor are tight
• Make sure the wire nut connectors are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing
• Allow a 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 isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box

THE FAN WOBBLES

Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). If one fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs an er 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 deviations are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit
– If all deviations are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit

LIGHT IS NOT WORKING

Check Bulb to make sure it is installed correctly
Remove the non-working bulb and replace it with a bulb that is known to be a good working bulb
To reset the remote control:

1.  Turn off power to the fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker
2. Remove batteries from the remote
3. Wait 10 seconds
4. Replace batteries and turn the power on

AFTER INSTALLATION

WOBBLE”
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble
NOTE: CEILING FANS TEND TO MOVE DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED ON A RUBBER CROMMET. IF THE FAN  WAS MOUNTED RIGIDLY TO THE CEILING, IT WOULD CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION. THE MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMENTERS 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:

For your convenience, a Balancing Kit is included; please follow this procedure when balancing the 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 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 to 1/8″(0.32cm).

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 a 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. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during the time.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electrical power before you clean your fan
2. Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
3. Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.
