19. SPECIFICATIONS
These are approximate measures. They do not include Amps and Wattage used by the light fixture.
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 insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make sure the
main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side facing out.
4. Check to make sure the batteries are installed properly. (Positive + side facing out)
5. Check to make sure the batteries are not dead.
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 fixture, make sure the screws securing the glassware are
tight. Make sure the lamps are not touching any other component.
6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
7. Make sure the upper edge of the motor housing 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.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with
any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch, if desired.
2. Make sure the frequency dip switches in the transmitter and receiver have identical
settings.
3. Make sure the Black Antenna on the receiver is NOT tangled with any other
electrical wires and is extended around the inside of the ceiling canopy.
