3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.
4. Push motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged.
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.

Problem:  Noisy operation.

1. Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron armature screws until snug.
2. Check to see if the blade is cracked.  If so, replace all the blades.

Problem:  Excessive wobbling.

1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.
2. Tighten all blade iron screws.
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated.

Problem:  Lights shut off suddenly, but fan is still operating

1. Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specifications on 

the MAX wattage sticker affixed to the light socket.

2. Turn the power to the fan off at the wall switch. Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan.

Problem:  CFL bulbs flicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control

1.  CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming. Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or 

install the fan in a location without a dimming control.
