cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the
service panel.
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION
either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting
and make sure the battery works.
1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3. Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION
4. Check to be sure lightbulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
6. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will
disappear after this period.
1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the
notch in the downrod ball.
2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to
4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
