14. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds
noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction:
Solution
1.Check circuit fusesorbreakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
theswitch housing.
CAUTION:Make sure mainpoweris off.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver
areset to thesamefrequency.
1.Make sure allmotorhousing screws aresnug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor
hubis tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or
theinterior wall oftheswitch housing.
CAUTION:Make sure mainpoweris off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a
newfan disappear duringthistime.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glasswareare tight. Checkthatthe light bulbisalso secure.
6.Do not connectthefan with awall mountedvariable speed control(s)
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It
shouldnot touch theceiling.
1.Check that allbladeand blade armscrewsare 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
distancedeviation should beequalwithin 1/8".
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
ROTATINGFAN BLADES.
1.Do not connectthefan with awall mountedvariable speed control(s).
2.Make sure thedipswitches are setcorrectly.
