Solution
1.Checkcircuitfuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
theswitchhousing.
CAUTION:Makesuremain power isoff.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver
aresettothe same frequency.
1.Makesureall motor housingscrewsaresnug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor
hubistight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or
theinteriorwallof the switchhousing.
CAUTION:Makesuremain power isoff.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a
newfandisappearduring this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glasswarearetight.Check that thelightbulbisalso secure.
6.Donotconnect the fanwithawall mountedvariable speed control(s)
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It
shouldnottouchthe ceiling.
1.Checkthatall blade andbladearmscrewsare secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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. Rotate the fan until the
next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The
distancedeviationshouldbe equal within1/8".
3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still
noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side
by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in
smootheroperation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND
THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATINGFANBLADES.
