□Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has
permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Do not
Do not
□Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
Because of the fan’s natural movement, some
connections may become loose over time. It is not
necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
□Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is
sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing.
□(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades.
□(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical
panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to step 6
“Making the electrical connections” on page 10.
□Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
□Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
□Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.
□Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch
housing.
□Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this
time.
□If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light
bulbs are also secure.
□Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
□Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting
bracket and outlet box.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.

Solution
Solution
□Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
□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 from a point on the center of each blade
to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes.
□Use the enclosed blade balancing kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
□This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of 190 watts will disable your
ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the
wattage under 190 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
The fan wobbles.
The lights shut off and
will not come back on.
