Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan
1 . B e c au s e o f t he f an ' s n a t u r al
movement, some connections may
become loose. Check the support
connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure
they are secure. (It is not necessary
to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the
years. Use only a soft brush or lint-
free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. The plating is sealed with a
lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing. Do not use water when
cleaning. This could damage the
motor, or the wood, or possibly cause
an electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of
furniture polish to the wood blades for
additional protection and enhanced
beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE
ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE
SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS"
Care of Your Fan 10.
Installing the battery:
Install 9 volt battery (not included), to
prevent damage to transmitter, remove the
battery if not used for long periods.

11. Troubleshooting
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Solution
1.Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that light bulb is
also secure.
6.Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls.
If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
