TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking
any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side facing out.
4. Ensure the batteries have a good charge.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not
touching any other component.
6. Do not connect this fan to a wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or
remote controls.
7. Make sure the upper canopy has 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. 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. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and
possibly result in smoother operation.
