IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or cause injury, be sure that fan is switched to off and blades have stopped
moving completely before attempting to change direction of rotation.
1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch
housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the screws
securing blade brackets to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the
sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the
motor. Make sure that the light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are
fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if
measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust
blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation.
Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed
edge on.
TROUBLESHOOTING - IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
CARE AND CLEANING
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free cloth
to avoid scratching the finish.
DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wood
blades, and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.

Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during
operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans with painted or
high gloss blades.

When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to
the blades.
