1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
3.Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set on the
same frequency.
CA TION: Make sure main power is turned off.
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.
CA TION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing
and canopy.
4.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
DO NOT SE 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 bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction
box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
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.
1.Check 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 light bulbs.
CA TION: Make sure main power is turned off before enterin switch housing and
canopy.
2. If fan sounds noisy:
1. If fan does not start:
3. If fan wobbles:
4. If light does not
work:
Trouble Shooting
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation,
or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any
faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing
difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list
insert sheet.
Warning: Before servicing or cleaning unit, Switch power off at Service panel and lock service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
