Trouble Shooting

Blade Cleaning

Periodic light dusting of the Wood blades is recommended. 
A feather duster will work best.

Avoid using water, cleansers, or harsh rags, which can 
warp and ruin the blades.

WARNING

For your own safety turn off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before trouble shooting your fan.

snug (not over-tight).

3.

  Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan 

blade holders to the motor flywheel are tight.

4.

  Check to make sure wire 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 !

5.

  Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from 

solid-state variable speed controls.  Solid-state controls 

are not recommended, choose an alternative control 

method.

6.

  Tighten screws securely.

7.

  Tighten set screw securely.

3.  FAN  WOBBLES

     EXCESSIVELY

1.

  Setscrew in downrod support is loose.

and secure outlet box. 

6.

  Interchanging position of fan blades can redistribute 

the weight and result in a smoother operation. For 

example, exchange blades in positions 1 and 3 or 1 and 

4. If this does not improve wobble, exchange 2 and 3 or 

2 and 4.

4.  NOT  ENOUGH  AIR

     MOVEMENT

1.

  If possible, consider using a longer downrod.  For
