1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit break ers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
3.Check to make sure the dip switches from the tr ansmitter and receiver are set on the
same frequency.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off
1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not o ver 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 r attling against each
other or against the interior w all of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State v ariable speed controls. DO
NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor .
4.Make sure that canopy and mounting br acket are tightened securely to ceiling junction bo x
and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade lev els are unequal. Check this lev el by
selecting a point on the ceiling abo ve the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance
from blade tip to ceilng. K eeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade lev els are not equal, y ou can
adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a w asher
(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 w asher 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 oper ation.
1.Check wire from fan to mak e 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 light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
2. If fan sounds noisy:
1. If fan does not start:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not work:
