does
not
start:

SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses
or
circuit breakers.
2. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly
in
bottom
or
top position. Fan will not
operate when switch is
in
the middle.
3.
Make sure that the wall control is turned "ON".
4.
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections
in
switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main
power
is turned off.
1.
Make sure all screws
in
motor housing are snug. (not over tightened)
2. Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors
in
switch housing are not rattling against each
other
or
against the interior wall
of
the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned
off
before accessing
switch
housing.
4.
If
using
an
optional ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing
the glassware are finger tight. Make sure light bulb is tight
in
socket and
not touching glass shade(s).
If
vibration persists from glass, remove glass and
install a 1/4 in. Wide rubber band
on
glass neck to act as
an
insulator. Replace
glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5.
Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Allow "break-in" period
of
24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will
disappear after this period.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary
in
density
which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched.
The following procedures should eliminate most
of
the wobble. Check for wobble
after each step.
1 . Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade brackets.
2. Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely to motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and hanger bracket are tightened securely to ceiling
junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4. Most wobble problems
of
fan are caused when blades are not
in
equal level.
To
check the blade levels, select a point
on
the ceiling above the tip
of
any blade.
Measure the distance from the ceiling to the blade tip, to an accuracy
of
1/8
inch. Rotate the blades until the next blade is
in
the measuring position. Repeat
measurement 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 bracket at the screw
closest to the motor ..
To
adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied)
between the blade and blade bracket at the two screws farthest from the motor.
5. Interchanging two adjacent blades could redistribute the weight and possibly result
in
smoother operation.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from supply wire
coming out
of
the ceiling.
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.
CAUTION: Make sure main
circuit
is turned
off
before entering switch housing.
