Industrial Ceiling Fan is tested before it leaves the factory, resulting in an
extremely low rate of returns. However, due to shipping and installation procedures, oc-
casionally a fan will need a minor adjustment to run satisfactorily. If this should
happen, we recommend that you identify the problem and try the simple suggestions
listed below.
Turn off power at main circuit breaker before checking!
Fan will not start
a) Check fuses and circuit breakers.
b) Check wire connections to fan.
c) Check wiring connection in lower canopy.
d) Check voltage at fan connection.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________
Fan too fast / slow
a) Adjust the trim set screw in fan wall control if using optional wall control. If minimum setting
is too low the fan may shut off with voltage fluctuations. Increase minimum.
b) Check voltage at fan connection.
c) Blades must be attached to motor to reduce the speed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________
Fan makes noise
a) Check motor case to make certain all visible screws are snug.
b) Check to make certain that all blade bracket screws are tight.
c) Check for labels or wire nuts that could be rubbing.
d) All ceiling fans may have a slight motor noise known as the “60 cycle hum” when used with
solid state infinite speed controls. Especially on lower speeds. This hum will not affect the
fan performance.
e) Make certain upper canopy is at least 1/8” from ceiling
f) Allow a 30 days break-in period which normally eliminates any Residual noise other than a),
b), c), d) or e).

___________
Fan wobbles
a) Check that all blade brackets are screwed firmly to motor case.
b) Check distance from tip of blades to ceiling. If blades get bent during installation, you must
re-adjust them so that all blades travel on same plane. Gently bend up or down until all
distance are the same.
c) Make certain upper canopy is 1/8” from ceiling.
d) Make certain that hanging hooks are secured tightly to ceiling.
e) Run fan without blade, if motor does not wobble, then motor is not defective but the blades
maybe bent.
