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 light bulb 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" periodof 24 hours. Most noisesassociated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.

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 ceilng. 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 (side by side) 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 dynamic balance
your fan with balancing kit provided.
