Vari-Cyclone Ceiling Fan
Installation Manual
Models: 3/4-Blade Vari-Cyclone
PROBLEM
PROCEDURE
MY FAN MAKES A
RUBBING SOUND WHEN
RUNNING
Turn your fan off, and when the blades have stopped turning, spin the fan
with your hand, if you hear the rubbing sound, it is most likely that the fan’s
hub is rubbing against the motor housing.
Loosen the hub’s set screw; remove the decorative knob covering the fan’s
motor shaft. Using a flat bladed screw driver, pry the safety push nut away
from the hub (about 1/8 inch) Try spinning the fan again, if the rubbing
sound is gone, then re-tighten the set screw and replace the decorative
knob.
MY FAN’S BLADES
SEEM TO GO UP AND
DOWN AS THE FAN
SPINS
Turn fan off, gently rotate hub by hand, look for the high and low movement
of the blades. Grab the hub at the high spot with one hand, with your other
hand, grab the low spot, then “gently” push the low side of the hub up while
pulling down on the high side. Spin the hub again and see if the up/down
wobble is gone, if not, repeat the procedure until problem is fixed.
