Problem:  Nothing happens; fan does not move

2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the fan section.
3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
4. Push motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged.
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.
6. Remove the shipping bumpers.

Problem:  Noisy operation

1. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron armature screws until snug.
2. Check to see if the blade is cracked.  If so, replace all the blades.

Problem:  Excessive wobbling

1. Make sure the blades are securely attached to the blade irons according to the blade assembly instructions 

provided.

2. After thoroughly verifying the blades are securely attached to the blade irons, follow the instructions in the 

enclosed balancing kit to balance the fan.

3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

Problem:  Lights shut off suddenly, but fan is still operating

1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specifications on the 

light socket.

2. Turn the power to the fan off at the wall switch. Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan.

Problem:  CFL bulbs flicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control

1. CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming. Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or install 

the fan in a location without a dimming control.
