Howdoyouchangethe PULLCHAIN SWITCHONLY? -This isaquestionthatweareasked over andoveragain,
the information in this section of the service manual will help you. Once you have the right pull chain switch,
changing it only takes a few minutes. First remove the switch housing cup or switch housing cap from the fan
shownin Figure#1.Now youwill needtolook atthe pullchainswitch youare replacing.Matchit upwith oneyou
are going to replace it with.
Ifthe wrongswitch is used,the fanwill not operateproperly.The problemwillbe thatyou willhaveTWO medium
speeds.If youhavethis problemafterchanging theswitch, most likelyyou haveinstalledthe wrongswitch.Most
fans with a spinner motor using this type of switch housing cup, use two capacitors together to get the second
speed.For moreinformation onhow pullchain switcheswork andhow the speeds are controlledin threespeed
fans,refertotechnicalbulletinTB-98-30(#1a)INTERCHANGEABLE-3 SpeedPC Boards andPullChainSwitch,
dated March 30, 1998. The following steps will show you how to change the pull chain switch.

How do you change the PULL CHAIN
SWITCHONLY? -Thisis aquestion thatwe
are asked over and over again, the informa-
tion in this section of the service manual will
help you. Once you have the right pull chain
switch,changing itonlytakes afew minutes.
First remove or open up the switch housing
on the fan shown in Figure #1. Now you will
need to look at the pull chain switch you are
replacing.Match itup withone youare going
toreplace itwith.
Step #1
Removethe knurl nutfrom thepull chainswitch
shown in Figure #2. Pull the switch out of the switch
housing cup with wire attached, as shown in Figure
#2Aand removeit fromthe switchhousing cup.

Step #2
Comparetheold switch youarereplacingand thenew
one. Make sure that they are the same. Compare the
letter and numbers on the switches as shown in Fig-
ure#3.
When changing the switch you do NOT need to cut
the wires. By using a large paper clip as a tool with
both the new and old switch side by side (shown in
Figure #3A), you will be removing ONE wire from the
old switch and inserting that same wire into the new
switch.Continuetoremovethewiresfromtheoldswitch
until all wires have been inserted in to the new. The
mostimportant thingin doingthis, ismatching thelet-
terandnumbers onthebackof theswitchesas shown
inFigure #3.
Step #3
Using the letter and number on the switch as a refer-
ence, insert the paper clip into the same hole that the
wireis in.This is easilydone by placingthe paper clip
along the side of the wire as shown in Figure #4 and
pushing the clip into the hole and pulling out the wire.
NOTE:It isveryimportantwhenremovingthewirefrom
the OLD switch has shown in Figure # 4 and and in-
serting the same wire into the New switch, it is done
one at a time. Make sure that the hole position mark-
ings match on the replacement switch as shown in
Figure # 3 at the top of this page.

Once the paper clip has been inserted into the hole with
the wire (shown in Figure #5), lift up or press down on the
clip and at the same time pull out the wire removing it
from the switch as shown. Now insert the wire you just
removed from the old switch into the hole marked the
same on the New switch (shown in Figure #6). When
inserting the wire into the switch you should hear a click,
at this time pull on the wire making sure that the wire is
held tightly in the switch (shown in Figure #6). Repeat
these steps until all wires have been removed from the
old switch and inserted into the new one.
Once all the wires have been attached on to the new
switch, push the switch back into the switch housing
cupshownin Figure#7.Screwthe knurlnutbackon to
thepull chainswitch. Reinstallthe switchhousing cap
on to the fan. Now you are ready to test the fan.
Testall three(3)speeds ofthe fan bymaking surethat
you have LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH speeds. If you
have two speeds that are the same, most likely the
wrong switch has been installed.Again look at the old
switch you removed from the fan and compare it with
the new switch.

they are not they will need to be tinted, only tint the
wires that are being connected to the switch.
