1886 Fan Operation Attach the pull chain pendant to the fan pull chain. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, and Off. Pull the chain slowly to change settings. Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades. Updraft (clockwise rotation) creates a more indirect airflow. Updraft airflow is great for moving warm air downward. Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.
1886 Troubleshooting Fan Doesn’t Work Noisy Operation • Make sure power switch is on. • Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron screws until they are snug. • Pull the pull chain to make sure it is on. • Check to see if any of the blades are cracked. If so, replace all the blades. • Push the motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that it is engaged. • Lower the canopy so it does not make contact with the ceiling. • Check the circuit breaker to ensure the power is turned on.
