2. Normal noise.
3. Wire connectors inside switch
housing rattling.
4. Cracked blade.
5. Faulty light bulb installation.
6. Glass is not secure.
1. Tighten all hex nuts with wrench securely.
2. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises
associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
3. Check to make sure wire connectors in switch housing
are not rattling against each other or against the interior
wall of the switch housing.
4. Replace blades.
5. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not
touching glass shade.
6. Secure the glass.

1. Hanger bracket and/or ceiling outlet
box is not securely fastened.

secure outlet box.
2. Hex nuts are loose.

4. Check to be sure the fan blade flanges sit firmly and
uniformly to the surface of the motor hub. If flanges are
seated incorrectly, loosen the flange screws and retighten.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two
adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight
and possibly result in smoother operation, or you can use
supplied balancing kit to balance blades.
6. When switching from medium to low speed, you may
notice some fan wobble. When the fan stabilizes at low
speed, wobble will disappear.
