Warning
and lock the service panel to prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service panel
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.
5. Most fan wobble 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
from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade
is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal,
you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert
a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the
motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade
holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if
blades mount from top of blade.
6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the
weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically
balance your fan with balancing kit provided.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting
and make sure the battery works.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or
canopy.
