SUGGESTED REMEDY

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.

 

3.Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set on the same

frequency.

4.Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

5.Make sure that stabiliqer tabs have been removed from motor (see step #12).

CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.

2.If fan sounds noisy: 1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened). 2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor 3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against 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 be sure bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4” 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.are tight.each other

3. If fan wobbles:

1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy 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.

5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

selecting a point on the ceiling above 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. Repeat 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)

4. If light does not work:

1.Check 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.
