check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

Switch
Ceiling fans work in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise
rotation). To change the direction of air flow, turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop.
The reversing switch is located inside the light fixture cage. It can only be accessed when the
cage is removed. Slide the reversing switch to the opposite position. Restart the fan.
Updraft (counterclockwise
rotation) creates a more indirect
airflow. Updraft airflow is great
for moving warm air downward.
Downdraft (clockwise rotation)
creates a direct breeze and
maximum cooling effect.
