12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pull chain controls the 3 speeds of your
ceiling fan.
1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low
and the 4th pull turns the motor off.
The Black Slide Switch on the side of the
switch housing controls the direction of the
blades "Forward and Reverse".
Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise)
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Fig. 12. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An
upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Fig. 13. This allows you to
set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

13. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check that all fuses or circuit breakers are installed or in the ON position.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
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. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
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. 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 AND TO INUSRE
THE PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE
BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON
THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE INSTALLING,
BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS
BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
