NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
Turn on the power and check the operation of
your fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed
as follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls-Medium, 3
pulls- Low, and 4 pulls-Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect.
(Fig. 17) This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather- (Clockwise direction) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area. (Fig.
18) This allows you to set your heating unit on a
lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Operating Your Fan 10.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan
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. (It is not necessary to remove fan from
ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. 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. Do not use
water when cleaning. This could damage the
motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an
electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of
furniture polish to the wood blades for
additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF
AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY
REPAIRS. REFER TO THE
SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS".

Troubleshooting 12.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb
is also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this
type of control, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are 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.(Fig. 19) Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within
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 smoother operation.
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 ROTATING FAN
BLADES.
