OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Operation

Turn on the power and check operation of fan. The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows: 1 pull - high; 2 pulls - medium; 3 pulls - low; 4 pulls - off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.

Maintenance

1.Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.

2.Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause electrical shock.

3.Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.

4.There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these Troubleshooting guide installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot

be remedied, please consult with your authorized electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

TROUBLE SUGGESTED REMEDY

1. If fan does not start:

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2.Check wire connections as performed in step #14 or #17 of installation. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.

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

4.If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.

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 are tight.

3.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.

4.Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.

3. If fan wobbles:	All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which 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 blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
	2.	Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
	3.	If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
