1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit break ers.
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 up or down position. F an will not operate when switch is
in the middle.
4.Make sure that shipping stabiliz er tabs have been removed from motor.
1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not
ov
er tightened).
2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not r attling 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 F an Light Kit, check to be sure the screws securing the glassw are are fin-
ger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in sock et and not touching glass shade(s). If vibr ation
persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4" wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insula -
tor. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5.Some fan motors are sensitiv e to signals from Solid State v ariable 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.
1.Make sure that the ridge of the canop y engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor .
4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction bo x and junc-
tion box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade lev els are unequal. Check this lev el by selecting a
point on the ceiling abo ve the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance from blade tip to ceilng.
Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. R epeat
for each blade. If all blade lev els are not equal, y ou can adjust blade lev els by the following procedure.
To adjust a blade tip down, insert a w asher (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 . Reverse the position of the w asher if blades
mount from top of blade.
6.If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side b y side) blades can redistribute the
weight and possibly result in smoother oper ation.
1.Check blue wire from fan to mak e 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.
WARNING: Over lamping the fan will result in the fan lights shutting down until the
proper wattage of bulbs are installed.
Reset the lights by turning off the wall switch, breaker,or by remote. Replace bulbs with the
correct wattage bulbs, turn the power on.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
