2. If fan sounds noisy:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
1.Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug. (Do not overtighten)
2.Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are secure.
3.Make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
4.If using an optional ceiling fan light kit, check to be sure the screws securing
the glassware are finger tight. Check to make sure the light bulb is tight in socket
and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and
install a 1/4 in. wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace
glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid state variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a solid state variable speed control.
6.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will
disappear after this period.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density
that could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched.
The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble
after each step.
1.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
3.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to the ceiling
junction box and that the junction box is mounted firmly to the ceiling joist.
4.Most fan wobble problems are caused by uneven blade levels. Check the levels
by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades and measure
the distance (within 1/8 in.)between the point and the tip of the blade to be
measured. Rotate the fan and repeat measuremeant for each blade. If all blade
levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To
adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and
blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert
washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws
farthest from the motor.
5.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1.Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4.Check for faulty light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
Trouble Shooting Guide
If you have difficulty in operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation
or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults,
please check this Trouble Shooting Guide. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty
in installation, please call our Customer Service Department.
PROBLEM
1. If fan does not start:
1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in right or left position. Fan will not
operate when switch is in the middle.
4.Make sure that the wall controller is " ON ".
