12. TROUBLESHOOTING

11. CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan

1. Because of the fan's natural 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".

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Fan wobble.

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.

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.

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.

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobbling 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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement.

Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8".

3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side)

blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE

BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE

FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
